Sometimes, there’s really nothing like peeling off your shoes and socks and wiggling your toes. If you have shoes and socks on right now, take them off! Free your toes! Wiggle them about!
I like to shuffle about on the carpet with care feet. And then walk into the kitchen and feel the coldness of the lino. And lets be frank, dancing is best when you’ve got bare feet.
Bare feet! It’s where it’s at!

My feet are bare, and freezing! I was all hot and sweaty a couple of hours ago when I finished mowing the lawn, and now I’ve cooled down and I’m chilled. I need a shower… And socks.

I’m with you Francesca!
And during the summer months, I say:
Screw the _shirts and shoes required_ rule posted on the door of every 7-11 and Circle K!
I think I remember seeing 7-11 stores in UK
It’s not more sanitary, it’s unjust & inhuman!

I love, love, love being barefoot. I wish I could always be barefoot. It makes me happy, especially when my bare feet are in cool, green grass.

I can’t _quite_ release my feet from shoe-and-sock bondage in the office, but I can slip my shoes off and wiggle my socked toes about.
I look a little silly tramping to the kitchen or water cooler in my socks, but my fellow cube dwellers have gotten used to it.

In the warm months I wear sports sandals any time I’m not playing sports. Ironic name for the product I suppose.
Sandals are wonderful for those of us who tend to sweat lots in warm weather.

I love kicking off my shoes as soon as I get home. I’m often padding about in bare feet, both indoors and out in the garden.

I feel the same way about removing my bra. Bare breasts, it’s where it’s at!

I do love going barefoot, I’m that way indoors most if not all of the time. Outdoors is another matter. I’m a tenderfoot, alright.
And I love seeing other barefoot, too! 😉

I think I’ll share my little ODDBALL secret with y’all…
I have a box, with beach sand in it…
I place my barefoot in it… close my eyes, and
PRESTO I’m at the beach!!!
No matter how warm it is in my house, the sand is always refreshingly cool…

I love being barefoot. When I was a kid, I’d spend all summer, and I mean ALL summer, running around barefoot. Now, I only put on shoes and socks when I absolutely have to. If I need shoes for something, it’s usually my Nike sandals…

My podiatrist’s nurse blames my fallen arches largely on spending much of my childhood barefoot. She’s a putz.
I love the indoor sandbox for the feet idea **nuthinboutnuthin** but please tell me you aren’t a cat owner!

Hm. I cannot feel my feet, nor can I wiggle them. They _are_, however, bare; that ought to count for something! 😉
