Day Without Shoes

Get your barefoot on.

I’m a barefooter. Okay, not a REAL barefooter, as I often wear Vibrams because, well, it hurts less. But I’m glad to have the choice to wear minimalist footwear.

But a lot of people don’t. Far too many developing countries have children running around without the option of something covering their feet. Sure, this may not be a huge deal for them (who doesn’t like to go barefoot?) but options are good. Very good.

So take off your shoes today. See what it’s like walking around your office, your home or even the sidewalk unshod. For me it’s a terrific experience (do you know what a sidewalk or crosswalk feels like?) that connects us to where we live.

And yes, your feet look just fine.

    Have you heard of Tom's shoes? For every pair they sell, they donate a pair to a child in need. http://www.toms.com

    I'd like to order a pair from them sometime.

    I have. They were the reason we did the barefoot thing that day.

    I wonder if they're comfy.
