>and maybe even in cooler weather?
Honestly most people don't even react at all, either too polite minding their own business or don't even notice my barefoot kids. Same even in cooler weather. We were once on a barefoot hike in late October and one lady exclaimed "what?! No shoes" I laughed and said yeah you should try and go barefoot too.

>kids go barefoot?
Well that's not an issue either, I was raised as a barefoot girl by my own mother and my brother was raised barefoot too. My brother is also encouraged his daughter to be barefoot all summer so family and bare feet is good.
>What about shops in town? Teachers in school?
>Neighbours?
Neighbours have never ever said a word, shops in town we've not had any bother and I really hope it stays that way and school ha well we've had our arguments and concluded my kids will attend school barefoot, which is great.
