For myself, I am basically full-time barefoot at home, except when I am doing work outdoors. When I go out from the home, I am usually in some sort of minimalist footwear. When driving any sort of distance, I prefer to do it barefoot.

I go barefoot all the time unless I'm at work. Even then I only wear either Vivobarefoot or Fivefinger shoes. When I leave the house I rarely take "backup" flip flops with me and they're only used on hot days when the pavement is sizzling and I don't want to burn my feet while getting our girls out of the van. I go barefoot in stores and other places and carry a doctor's note from my chiropractor that says I should be allowed to go barefoot.

Oh I like that one a medical hall pass sort to speak. OK I think I am seeing my issue here. I am barefoot ALL day and I am mostly on my feet all day going from cottage to cottage to fix things, up and down the roadway which is hard packed with some sections quite stony. Even getting the water trampoline ready was up and sown on large rocks lifting heavy material. I am happy I can go all day but still it is annoying that you have to focus a lot on where you walk many times you can't even see where you are walking because of what your carrying and the feet are really worn at the end of the day. I may get moccasins to give them a rest I have the Dharmas but want to save those for dressier occasions. Still waiting on those folks at Stem to start selling Winter boots I see is still and issue when I search online I may be into Mukluks for that. At least there are a lot of Indian craft shops within an hour of me.

I'm barefoot as much as possible, but it's winter here now so my feet tend to get a bit cold. I'm still barefoot when active.

Recently I was in Hawaii for 10 days and went the whole time barefoot except about 1 hour in a restaurant (when they asked me to put shoes on). I said I was happy to it for them but that they shouldn't state it was a HI health requirement as it wasn't.

My time there included walking around on hot asphalt, shopping centers (or malls to my North American friends), the beach of course and also a couple of trips up a rocky volcanic peak.

If I'm at work or have to go in someplace where I know barefoot is "not allowed" I have some trail gloves and some fivefingers I wear, and I have a pair of bedrocks ordered, so we'll see if those replace the TGs or VFFs in that capacity.

Bedrocks? What are those?

Liked the look and the reviews I've read sound pretty promising so I decided to back the project. Supposedly he preorders should be coming out in early august.

Oh yeah, I remember seeing those now that you mention it. I would be interested in knowing what you think of them once you have them.

Currently I strip off my boots as soon as I can. Unfortunately being deployed to Afghanistan right now, I dont to run around barefoot as much as I used too. In Hawaii I would get home from work and my shoes would stay off. Going out to the stores I went barefoot. On the weekends I would not put anything on my feet at all. Of course there were times when I had to wear shoes (going out to restaurants that required shoes etc...) so I would throw on some vibrams.

I always wear something on my feet when I go out. At home I will tend to be barefoot. I get yelled at in the winter when I complain my feet are cold. I work barefoot out in the garage with sharp tools frequently and wonder when I'm going to think that was a mistake. A couple times I've almost dropped a knife on my foot in the kitchen, and once I dropped a glass on the kitchen floor which was a bit treacherous to deal with barefoot. But I didn't learn my lesson...

I'm barefoot indoors all the year and outdoors most of the time. I wish to be completely barefoot, always and everywhere, but it's not so easy in Germany. In winter it's too cold sometimes. At work I'm usualy wearing flip flops, but in summer I'm sometimes barefoot also in office.
