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 :)

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

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.

Barefoot and proud!

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.

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

Lovin my barefoot life!

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.

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

Ingrained street dirt!

Natural toughness.

Ingrained street dirt!

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!

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!

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

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

Makes a change from having earth stained soles!

Grounded and standing strong :)

Proud of my tough soles :-)

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

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

Happy barefoot days!

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

Natural toughness and flexibility.

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

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

Touching the colors of Autumn.

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

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

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.

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

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

My rugged soles ready to take on the world!

After an afternoon walking on hot, rough asphalt!

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

Happy feet!
