Why walk barefoot?

The Barefoot FAQ
Having your feet free of confining, hot, sweaty shoes, open to the air and sunshine, able to wiggle your toes, able to feel the various textures and temperatures of surfaces as you walk, is wonderful! It is one life's most simple pleasures and is part of what it means to be human. It's completely natural to walk barefoot. In fact, it is quite healthy and good for your feet to do so.

Should I walk differently when barefoot?

The Barefoot FAQ
No, but some people do not walk properly to begin with. You should walk by placing most of your weight on the balls of your feet (the pads in the front behind your toes) rather than your heels. Heels are rigid and many people slam them into the ground, shocking; the legs and knees. Instead, while you should still make your heels touch the ground first, you should shift most of your weight forward onto the balls of your feet.

Is it actually healthy to go barefoot?

The Barefoot FAQ
Very much so. I quote from the following article published in Women's Sports & Fitness, August 1994 issue: A recent study demonstrates that the skin on the soles of your feet resists abrasions and blistering and that going barefoot is beneficial to the musculoskeletal structure of your feet and ankles. ... Kicking off your shoes can help prevent a host of foot injuries: bunions, heel spurs, and bone deformities, among others.

Can I go barefoot even if I have flat feet?

The Barefoot FAQ
Basically, if you can walk barefoot and it doesn't hurt, then yes. Many barefooters were born with arches lower than the "normal" but still enjoy the pleasures of going barefoot. For someone with low arches or outright flat feet, habitual shoe-wearing often exacerbates the problem due to weak feet (see Is it actually healthy to go barefoot?). Additionally, forcing feet into shoes with arch supports against their natural shape can be uncomfortable and sometimes painful.

Must / can I ride barefoot ?

Nekkid Cycling !
Generally, it's a good idea to protect your feet with shoes (sandals) while riding, because they are pretty exposed to minor injuries. Anyone who tries to ride barefoot has to realize that power transmission from the bare sole to the pedals isn't as good as with shoes on. Pedals press too hard into the sole.

Why do some of your animal characters wear shoes and some go barefoot?

Newshounds - Quasi-FAQ
I swear sometimes that my fans are all fashion critics; I get so many questions about the animals' clothes. Their outfits more or less were designed to fit their personalities. Because I have a "big-footed" style, female characters don't look good with high heels or flats; and Renata, being a pro, couldn't wear sneakers, so she just went barefoot, which looks better. Ferris, also, looked better barefoot and it fit his carefree personality.

Why do people do Karate barefoot?

YKKF-India Events
It is a tradition. I do believe there is a justification on a more subtle level with respect to the direct contact with the surface and the transmission of ki, but I do not feel, in the least, qualified to speak on this subject, I will include qualified opinions in the future.
