I really like wet grass.

When I was a teen I had this thing where I would never be barefoot in front of anyone. like I would always wear socks. to the pool, in bed, to the beach. It was a problem. Well my mom was getting annoyed at me for ruining all the socks I owned with hole and they were dirty. She would buy me triple the amount of socks as the rest of my family. Well for spring break my family was going to a resort to hang out at the pool and the beach. We started driving on Friday as soon as school got out so my mom and brothers(who were already out of school) were supposed to pack for me and I gave them a list of what to bring. As we were riding to the resort I fell asleep. my brothers and mom had apparently decided to make this trip a barefoot trip.(my mom and brothers loved being barefoot) So they didn‘t bring any of my socks or shoes on my list and while I was asleep they took my shoes which were on the car ground and put them in the lock box our car had and then took my socks off while I was sleeping. They then woke me up at the gas station we were at and when I woke up I saw them throw my holey socks in the garbage can. I was so mad and my mom tried to justify it with how she wanted me to love being barefoot as much as her and my brothers. I guess she was right though as like a infection I began liking being barefoot more and more the more I was on that trip that after that I was barefoot much more often then I used to.

what is your favorite barefoot moment. I would love to know what everyone’s is. for me I feel like it has to be the time I first went fully barefoot and new I wouldn‘t have to put socks back on.

Sorry for posting a lot in this sub I just find everyone’s stories here very interesting. How/When did you find out that going barefoot was a option? For me my mom has always been somewhat barefoot going out in flip flops almost all the time. She really enjoyed that ig. But during Covid we were all stuck inside and I used to love being in socks (ik 🤮) Ig I just never had been barefoot when I could remember so it’s all I knew. Since we were all inside there wasn’t any point for me to wear socks all the time, but this didn‘t change my opinion on socks but it did my mom. Basically she went barefoot first and went on walks and everything. She would always tell me how much I was missing out. Well one day she was doing laundry and got tired of pairing socks and said she was done with it. She told me no more socks for while. I tried to fight but she was not giving in. She just straight up took all my socks away. Well anyways I was now barefoot. And after a week of being inside I started liking it. Then after that I went outside and loved that more. The rule carried on and never got lifted so we only wear socks when we absolutely need to now. I can’t believe on all i missed out on being stubborn. So my mom was the one to introduce it to me. I want to hear your stories now!

I was having a discussion with my brother on this one and couldn‘t come to a conclusion. Would you rather be barefoot all the time like nothing on your feet or would you rather always have socks on. you can only take them off to change and the change must happen in a minute of taking them off. I picked being barefoot just because I think it would feel nice and be interesting to be barefoot on every surface. Also I hate socks so much. He said that he would rather socks for like health stuff and not to always be barefoot bc he is like never barefoot. He will wear socks to bed and has special ones for the pool. (What a weirdo)

I‘m wondering if you’ve meet anyone that you had inspired to become barefoot more often. maybe even you were?

I’ve gone kinda down a rabbit hole of realizing that some people hate being barefoot and it was way more common then I thought. I was wondering if anyone here used to hate going barefoot and now is a full time barefooter.
