Bare was my default foot-style for most of my life. Lately, I've become a big fan of socks and also just purchased a pair of negative-heel shoes to improve my posture. But ah - the feeling of wet grass or cool water on bare feet - it can't be beat!

Em, what are negative heel shoes? Never heard of this.

Always barefoot around the house but do wear shoes in the yard unless I plan to stay on the deck.

Do you remember the Roots sandals or the Birkenstock shoes ? Both negative heel designs. JimB.

Having spent ten years with Metro Toronto Ambulance, I cringe when I see otherwise sensible adults walking around the city in bare feet. My passing comment was always......Did you find the broken glass, yet ? JimB.

Me, too!

Go barefoot, seriously? How could I show off my shoes, barefoot?

That's me too, @Em in Ohio!

Hi Lee. The soles are designed to keep your heels lower than the rest of your foot. This really does change the way one stands. I noticed that I was developing a curvature of the spine, pushing my gut forward. These gently push you back into alignment. They are designed on the principle that walking barefoot in soft mud or deep grass, your heel imprint will always be the lowest point. I had a pair of sandals like this in the 70's and wore them into oblivion. Sadly, the store isn't showing any negative heel sandals.

For me, it's a barefoot day every day, when I am around the house.
Just yesterday it was snowing and I forgot I was barefoot and ran outside to get the mail.
I spent the next 10 minutes in front of the heater thawing out.
