About Barefooters
This group is for those who choose to go barefoot, for those who are unshod almost all the time or those who are barefooting wannabes. Even if you just appreciate the cool grass under your feet sometimes, you are welcome here.
There are many reasons some choose to avoid shoes - for some it is simply more comfortable to be barefoot. For others, it is for health reasons; to prevent or heal the foot, knee, or back problems that shoe-wearing can cause. For others there is a spiritual element, a feeling of being more connected or more grounded when there is nothing between the soles and the ground. Here you will find support, community, and information on going shoeless.
In our shoe-obsessed society, it is easy to encounter negative reactions to bare feet (even for children) and sometimes difficult to find support in choosing something that is actually healthier for your body in so many ways. We are here to be that support for one another.

"Going barefoot is the gentlest way of walking and can symbolise a way of living — being authentic, vulnerable, sensitive to our surroundings. It's the feeling of enjoying warm sand beneath our toes, or carefully making our way over sharp rocks in the darkness. It's a way of living that has the lightest impact, removing the barrier between us and nature." — Adele Coombs, "Barefoot Dreaming"

Group Guidelines/Participation Tips
The only guidelines we have are basic courtesy:
~No bashing, belittling, insulting, or attacking the character of another member.
~No promoting the common ideas that choosing to not wear shoes is ignorant, unhealthy, unsafe, unsanitary, uneducated, dirty, etc etc. If you have honest concerns about these topics, of course feel free to ask - it's one of the reasons this group was started! But if your only goal is to argue for your preconceived negative view of barefooting or to cause drama, that is not welcome here.
~No promotion of your business, except as a link in your signature. If you make or sell a product that is relevant to a topic, just let the group host know and ask if it is appropriate to make that known.
And also, please no foot fetish posts. This is simply not the right group for topics of that nature.
Thanks!
