The wonder of walking barefoot...

Can't do this in boots!

Showing off the toughness earned over my 2018 barefoot season. It's so rewarding and relaxing to walk barefoot through nature.

My soles after a few days living barefoot! Most of my time spent barefooting around town giving my soles this fantastic colour. Barefoot life is good :)

Barefoot and proud!

My sole pads stained black by the earth. This is a great way to end a barefoot hike. Reminds me of the perfect connection to the earth we have when barefoot.

My natural sole armour. Tough and strong, ready for more barefoot adventures!

May 2019. My sole pads starting to toughen ready for summer!

At the end of a barefoot day. My soles free of mud and dirt just the natural ingrained colour remains.

Lovin my barefoot life!

Natural tough armor for any surface! Our soles are amazingly adaptable to any surface if given the chance. Just go barefoot :-)

At the end of a barefoot day. Hope everyone is keeping safe during the current outbreak. My best wishes to those in the worst affected countries.

Ingrained street dirt!

When my soles are this tough I can take on anything!

Layers of dirt ingrained into my sole pads after an afternoon barefooting around town. Always good feel the textures of the urban environment under bare soles!

Natural toughness.

Ingrained street dirt!

Proud of my tough soles :-)

Even simple jobs around the home become an adventure when done barefoot! This is me on the dusty concrete floor of my garage wearing my natural 'work boots'!

Wearing my most comfortable 'shoes' ever! Barefoot life is amazing!

Makes a change from having earth stained soles!

Grounded and standing strong :)

My street blackened soles. Trophies of an afternoon spent barefoot shopping.

Great to feel the textures of the urban environment under bare soles.

Barefoot life is good!

Landscape of the sole. Every line and wrinkle put there by nature!

My natural sole armor works well at home as well as in nature!

Natural toughness and flexibility.

Feels amazing to have naturally tough and strong soles. At times like this I feel my tough soles could carry me anywhere!

Walking a crushed stone path. The dust firmly ingrained into my sole pads giving them this fantastic grey colouring!

Underlying toughness. My natural sole armor built by many km's of barefooting.

Dust stained soles after walking a short distance along the rough forest tracks through the beautiful Whinlatter forest set within the English Lake District.

Touching the colors of Autumn.

Barefoot life is good!

Happy barefoot days!

Burnished tough sole pads! Love it when my soles take on the texture of leather like this.

Naturally tough and strong feet can go anywhere! Always good to end a day with street blackened soles :)

Just showing off my natural leather! Unfortunately I loose most of this toughness over winter as it's just too cold for sustained barefooting.

At the end of a barefoot day. Barefoot life is good!

Tough soles ready to explore the world the best way I know how - barefoot!

My rugged soles ready to take on the world!

I really enjoy urban barefooting and getting my soles black. It makes a great contrast to barefoot hiking through nature!

Love it when my soles end up looking like this :)

After an afternoon walking on hot, rough asphalt!

Happy feet!
