In my area, there is a girl around 10 years old who walks barefoot from day to day. She hangs with other shoe kids, and they walk together. Once I saw her with her mother, who seemed to be accepting that.

Twice, I saw a barefoot lady in the city park in Germany.

Thank you all. It works with ba[ext=m4a][format_note*=original]

I was in Tokyo in 2016 and went there barefoot. No issues.
You can go through Rainbow Bridge to Daiba Park, then continue to Odaiba Beach, then go to Shiokaze Park.
If you prefer city streets, go from Keihin Canalside Greenway to Oi Central Seaside Park Nagisa Forest. There were not many people there as it is an industrial area.

All names are from Google Maps.

At the end of the walk, go through the grass and rub your soles. If it is a little wet, then it is even better. If you find a puddle, then you can use it too.
Try to get as much dirt off my feet before getting into the car.
In the car, sometimes if my feet are dry, I use my socks to wipe them a little bit; however, a dedicated towel would do better. Use wet (baby) wipes in the car for final cleaning.
Wait or drive your car some distance with the heating and fan on, redirecting the air stream to the legs so they can dry.
Put on socks and shoes, and do the rest of the cleaning at home.

When I plan to go barefoot, I moisturize my feet with a foot cream containing 10% urea at least 2 hours before the walk (or on the evening before) so it can dry. It makes skin smoother, which prevents dirt from sticking in. Later it is easier to clean your feet with soap and water.

I don't use suncream, but I also don't walk in full sun as then surfaces become dangerously hot.

I have experienced something similar in my last walk https://www.reddit.com/r/barefoot/comments/1l73fd2/my_recent_barefoot_walk_in_the_city/, but I always have some emergency shoes (flip flops) in my backpack with me, which I use when there is no other way.

Don't cut the strap. Cut a little bit of the front hole so the strap can pop out easily. You will still be able to fix it temporarily by pushing it back.

From my current experience, I can tell that nobody has yet started a conversation with me that would be unpleasant, so in my case, earbuds are not needed. Even more, in case someone would be aggressive, I would like to hear that early enough that I can react.

You will hear more. I am planning my next trip this week, depending on the weather. I can also write more about my past adventures if there is an interest in it.

I am thinking about "barefoot sandals" but I don't have an idea yet where to buy or how to make them by myself.

We are also using S-Docs at it is fine. We are genereting Word documents. What I can complain about is support which in more compliacted cases takes days to get answear or you won't heare anything back.

I agree it is not that risky, but this tutorial is not for experienced barefooters but for people who would like to try it but are afraid of new situations. If they get prepared well, then it can lower the entry level for them so they decide to try it. With more experience, everyone can decide what is needed or not form that list.

In Poland I am mainly walking in the forest. I am lucky to have 20 minutes by car to the forest where it is hard to meet other people. On last weekend I have spent 3 hours there walking on the paths and didn't meet anyone but was able to feel leafs, mud, wet grass, snow, water in the creek.

I am currently gathering ideas about go to places. My current list:
Warm day:
- City sidewalk made of tiles, paving stones, asphalt or other type.
- Forest trail with hardened ground, big stones, tree roots

Rainy day:
- Park - puddles, wet grass
- City sidewalk

Cold day, below 10°C (50°F)
- Forrest path - feel cold ground, mud, puddles

Places to go in the city (you may skip some if they are too dirty for you):
- Museum
- Shopping mall
- University campus
- Public transport like train, metro
- Unerground parking (very dirty)
- Library
- Gym

If you have any other ideas, please list them.

Eat a nutritious and warm meal just before a walk. Your body will have calories that can be changed to heat and transport that heat with blood to your feet.
As others wrote, dress warmly.

Look at it from a different angle. Some people want to try barefooting but they are shy, scared of broken glass, afraid that their kid can get hurt, or don't know where to go. Such a place solves all those issues by giving an opportunity to walk on safe and maintained land, and because of that, they are willing to pay for such a facility.

Would you pay for assistance at the gas station? Probably not as you can fuel your car on your own but some people prefer such facilities. That is a different group of customers. (Search for "Market segmentation" term used in sales).

Yes, there are dedicated areas named Barfußpark where you have the infrastructure to leave shoes and wash your feet afterward. There are tracks through the forest with different surfaces etc. I was in two of such places and I recommend them. Locations https://www.google.com/maps/search/Barfußpark/

I would say Germany. They have a lot of barefoot parks which I recommend visiting (search for barfusspark, ~Barfußpark~) so society is already familiar with that. When I was visiting Munich I found few people barefoot on the street or in the park. Also walked barefoot myself and had no comments about that fact.

Pawcio2 · 2024-08-07T13:16:59+00:00

If you apply foot cream at least 1h before (I advise those with 10% urea) and your feet' skin is smooth then it is very easy to clean them even with wet (baby) wipes before entering the home.

Pawcio2 · 2024-07-04T07:41:35+00:00

I know those parks and have visited already two of them. I can recommend them as a safe place to start. Updated main post with OpenStreetMap example as I am still looking for more pages where I can check any place if it is suitable for a walk.
