Why it's good to walk barefoot?
462819
(m)\n\nHaving your feet free of confining, hot, sweaty shoes, open to the air and sunshine, able to wiggle your toes, able to feel the various textures and temperatures of surfaces as you walk, is wonderful! It is one life's most simple pleasures and is part of what it means to be human.\n\nIt's completely natural to walk barefoot. In fact, it is quite healthy and good for your feet to do so.\nAdditionally, there's something to be said for the "barefoot aesthetic": bare feet on a person just plain look nice!\n\nfor detail information go to the following link\n\nhttp://libaware.economads.com/barefootfaq.php#Q1

Bare feet. You don't slip and you have a better grip on the balence beam of whatever your doing. When you're in socks, you slip all over the place.

Toenails' growth get stunted by our constant wearing of shoes, socks, stockings, etc.  It's even covered up with blankets and sheets when we sleep. It is therefore less exposed to sunlight and air which favor growth. Toenails are often moist with perspiration and when walking barefoot it's among the first parts of our body that gets exposed to dirt and germs. It can also be quite difficult to reach when bathing or cleaning our body parts. Because of its distance from our eyes and nose it is often left neglected.

Walking is still good for you, But running/jogging your heart rate up, which is much better for you.  Although if you are not doing anything now, walking is better then nothing, and still good for you, it will raise your heart rate, and burn calories, just not as much as running will.\n\nI know when I'm on a treadmill, i will usually warm up walking, jog for a while till i get tired, keep walking for awhile, then jog again, and repeat that pattern.  But towards the end i will usually just keep walking till I'm completely worm out.

Well you should ask your doctor first about the appropriateness of running first. Yes, walking is not as exciting, but it is the way to start out. if you travel a lot, you have great opportunity to walk in places that most of us never get to see...\n\nThe best walking shoe is whatever is most comfortable for you.  Good luck.

There was a person who complained and whined about having no shoes. \n\nUntil they met a person, who had no feet.\n\nThanksgiving is a day for being thankful for what you have, not for feeling sorry for yourself for what you do not have. \n\nI have a feeling your question backfired on you.  \n\nDarryl S.

Why not try to run instead of walking?

good question! i agree that if you run you get shelter more quickly, but actually as i seen on tv, as they tested this matter... the outcome was: \n\nif you run, you get more wet than when you walk.\nso i guess, my boots were made for walking! *Ü*

Oh yeah, I grew up barefoot. Mostly cus mom and dad said we either had to take off our socks or put on our shoes to go outside, and taking off the socks was easier. But shoes are evil:)

walking is the best way to start it is non stressful and yet provides great benifits.

I have one and I love it.  I keep it in the living room in front of the TV and use it all the time.  The only problem I have with it is that it is not comfortable to stand on without shoes and I prefer to be barefoot all of the time.  Consequently I have wash cloths on the foot parts.

I had dry, cracked heels in high school - the result of walking around barefoot all the time, I think. Since then I've managed to keep them very soft and smooth, but it does take attention and some time. Here's what has worked for me:\n\n1. Wear slippers in the house.\n2. Do walk barefoot in the sand when/if you get a chance.\n3. If you are watching TV or a movie at home, use the time to "pumice" the area with a pumice stone.\n4. Soak your feet in one of the many fabulous foot softening products on the market now.\n5. Before bed, put either lots of cream or oil on your feet and wear cotton socks to bed.\n6. Have regular pedicures.\n\nIf you do most of these things, you will not have any more problems.

Walking is the best by far and cheapest unless you have access to a swimming pool.  Walking is free, just be sure to get a really good pair of shoes.  Put a walkman on and go for it!

Have you ever gone to the beach and wanted to feel the sand on your toes but not the rocks on the bottom of your feet? A good pair of flip flops are the best choice of foot wear for days like that.  But flip flops aren't wonderful if you're bike riding or dancing in the gym. So in addition to flip flops, everyone should also have at least one pair of sneakers in their wardrobe.\n\n\nHow's that?
