Who needs shoes?!
Going barefoot... Ah, the joys of summer! This time of year I'm barefoot as often as possible and wear flip flops or sandals if footwear is required. DD is the same. The two of us don't understand how DH and DS have to wear shoes and socks ALL summer long.
 It's too darn HOT! My feet need FREEDOM. LOL! |

Re: Who needs shoes?!
around here it's been too darned wet...
I think it's a habit thing. I don't have many opportunities not to wear shoes.... at work - shoes playing football or soccer in the backyard - shoes mowing, cutting brush - shoes about the only time I get to wear anything less is a quick trip to the store, or any precious little relaxation time... but yes, having that freedom is a joy of summer. |

Re: Who needs shoes?!
Ah. I remember going barefoot.
In Texas, there are sharp plants everywhere and everywhere there's not sharp plants, there's sand that's just a few degrees away from turning to glass... Anyone else on here familiar with Sidney Lanier's poem Song of the Chattahoochee? The chestnut, the oak, the walnut, the pine/ overleaning, with flickering meaning and sign/ said: Pass not, so cold, these manifold/ deep shades in the hills of Habersham/ these glades in the valleys of Hall. If you don't know it, look it up. That's what I think of when I think of being barefoot. I grew up in an extremely rural area. I could run around the woods and the streams with minimal worry about stepping on something hard and metallic. There was a large creek behind our house, chest deep in places, and I remember how cool and nice the creek bottom felt on my feet.

Re: Who needs shoes?!
I never go outside barefoot and I don't let Eli do it either, but we do both wear flipflops and sandals. Ugh socks are gross when its hot outside!! DH wears socks and shoes all year long though. He only wears flip flops if we go to the beach or the creek.

LOL! DH complains about me putting my feet on the dash too, because my shoes get the dash dirty. Only, my feet don't reach the windshield.

Re: Who needs shoes?!
I just bought BRIGHT lime green flip flops and BRIGHT HOT pink flip flops.
Then painted every other toe hot pink and then the others lime green.. And I now tend to wear one hot pink flip flop with one green one.
