Combine the drawbacks of wearing shoes with the drawbacks of going barefoot.
That's kind of disgusting.
It's just seasoning.
Not kind of! Lol
Based.
Based on my understanding of the state of the ground in cities, that is absolutely disgusting.
It's absolutely disgusting!
The store owner, standing in front of the "No Shirt, No Shoe, No Service" sign looking like:
(Btw, this is a great way to getting tetanus 🤭)
I avoid tetanus by not standing like this
Tetanus is a disease made up by corporations to sell more anti-rust "solutions"! Hemoglobin is Oxygen bound to Iron, how could Oxygen bound to Iron hurt you???????
True. I never work a mask in 2020 and I turned out just fine. Don't even understand how tiny crown shaped object or whatever woke shit they make up could even hurt me. I survived just fine. A "crown" virus? LMFAO. I wear my crown 👑 like a king 🤴, wtf is a mini crown RNA bullshit, complete utter nonsense.
/s
Back in my hippie days, we would do a little trick. You get some hemp. Few beads. Whatever. Tie it around your big toe then loop it around your ankle. So it looks like you are wearing flip flops at a glance.
Did it all the time.
As a more informed person. I do not really recommend walking barefoot anywhere except a park or your own space. And beaches.
Cause dogs literally pee on every surface that exists in a city.
And also hepatitis.
Glass. Other sharp things.
Even if you have thick soles, they can take out gashes of it.
And the sidewalk is hella hot in the summer.
Go barefoot at your own risk. But know the risks. Mkay.?
i tried to do it for a summer as a kid in a rural area and my feet got very gross indeed and I had a lot of painful experiences. but I feel that's the only way to do it safely, to be a kid in a small safe rural place where there is like grass to walk on
The thing about this I don’t understand is why. Is it supposed to be to exist in as much of a natural state as possible?
People that walk around cities barefoot need to be avoided at all costs.
I once saw a girl very abruptly stop walking on a rather busy street, throw herself down on a nearby bench in a hurry, take out her stuff from her tote bag and just start knitting with an oddly peaceful expression on her face as if nothing happened. I was left wondering what the fuck I just witnessed. Happened in the span of like 4 seconds.
Yes she was barefoot.
"Hookwoorms, get in my feet please!"
unless you're in a place where human shit flows freely, that is not much of a concern. stores are usually not such places.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Humans suck at remembering history when they can’t see the consequences anymore.
Humans suck as remembering history?
Hookworms isn't why stores require shoes. It's because of hippies. Laws typically require employees to wear shoes and even then it depends on the workplace.
I sometimes question if we are truly the same species.
we are very diverse
This looks gross, but im also so confused at the amount of people saying walking barefoot is dangerous and gross. Walking barefoot is not to bad in my city its pretty clean and there is lots of grass.
There is an actual belief out there that your feet get some sort of power by connecting to mother nature barefoot. It's insane woo nonsense, but that meme lifehack literally would be something they might do, lol
Nothing quite like a spiritual connection with concrete
ugh, i hate that woo-woo "grounding" bullshit. gives the rest of the barefooters a bad name. honestly there's so many good reasons to go unshod without bringing in magical nonsense.
#1 being that if i wore shoes in the summer i would have to periodically empty out the ocean of sweat in them
just wait until someone in your circles finds out about "frequency therapy".
That would be an awesome name for some EDM production
Damn I coulda saved money on getting my soles redone
Soles redone: $IDK, ask the local Faeries whilst the cobbler naps.
Barefoot: $Priceless!
Since when is it illegal? Nobody has ever raised any objection, let alone tried to stop me going dogs out to the shops.
I’m curious, and have two questions:
- Have you previously read/heard the phrase “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service”?
- If you don’t mind answering, what region do you call home?
Elsewhere in this thread:
Nah tbh going barefoot is pretty culturally accepted in rural Australia, as long as you're not doing it in like a restaurant or a pub.
- Yes, only in the aforementioned contexts
- asked and answered
If the store has a rule for it, you would be trespassing without shoes.
I guess where I'm from a lot of stores don't enforce any such rules they may or may not actually have 🤷♀️
i've been accosted and kicked out of places so many times for being barefoot: grocery stores, restaurants, a bar, book shops, even a shoe store. i've basically been bullied by society at this point into wearing shoes whenever i go out, despite my own preferences. it's not illegal, basically anywhere, but you've been quite lucky to not have gotten any shit anyways.
Those places don't want to take liability for you potentially getting injured. Even if you would never sue a place for that, they have no guarantee of that, and US liability laws are absolutely ridiculous. I hope the US fixes the liability/lawsuit culture. So many things get killed by it
(For the record, I'm not one of the barefoot people. I find it weird, but to each their own)
If you're anywhere near a beach, I wouldn't be surprised.
Go a few hundred miles inland and to conservative land, and you might hit some resistance. Even if it's not from the employee who's not getting paid enough to give a fuck, it'll be some old crotchety lady that needs you to know your bare feet are ruining her life.

Toph-core
"Finally! A fashionable shoe for the blind earthbender."
Just paint your foot??
illegal?????????
Stores can't dictate what's legal, so this is not illegal. It's just not allowed under some store rules, but the most they can do is kick you out.
reverse sandals
Sladnas
Uncommon yes, but not illegal.
Why are you walking barefoot whilst constricting your toes that's confusing me
That's how you pick up all the soup ingredients for later.
That is so asinine. Don’t go places that require shoes or just wear shoes if you have to.
Or, get body paint and paint on a pair of shoes. At least that takes some skill and you don’t look like a spoiled jerk.Grumble grumble grumble!
Thank you for calling my ass a nine, it's mostly a strict diet of MacDonalds and Whiskey Sours!
That aside, become ungovernable.
Did they use wirebrush to wash their feet after arriving home?
Wash?
some barefooters like not washing their feet. personally, i don't get that. if my feet are dirty when i get home, i just wash them in the sink real quick. don't need any special tools; hands, water, a bit of soap, and maybe a washcloth will be plenty.
iirc "no shirt no shoes no service" was originally to keep out impoverished black people, and was later revived to keep out hippies. it's not a law most places, it's a store policy.
