Subject: 50 advantages of going barefoot!

As the founder of this group which is developing wonderfully (like a child growing up barefoot) I've compiled 50 advantages of the barefoot lifestyle. Can you think of more?

1. You feel the ground much better than with any kind of footwear.
2. It’s more comfortable to be barefoot than in any imaginable sort of shoes.
3. Going barefoot is really easy, everyone can do it.
4. Barefooting becomes easier and more fun, the more you do it.
5. You can climb up trees, rocks, ropes and poles much better.
6. You can run faster when you’re barefoot.
7. Bare feet give you an advantage in a lot of sports.
8. You can balance much better when you’re barefoot.
9. You don’t get sweaty, smelly feet.
10. You don’t get fungus / athlete’s foot.
11. You can spread and wiggle your toes.
12. You don’t get blisters.
13. You don’t get ingrown nails.
14. Your circulation is stimulated, so you don’t get cold feet.
15. Your skin gets tougher, which protects against injury.
16. Your immune system gets stronger.
17. Walking without extra weight on your feet is less exhausting.
18. Bare feet can touch you gently. Shoes can only kick.
19. Getting your feet massaged feels wonderful.
20. When you’re barefoot, every step is like dancing.
21. Your foot and leg muscles will get a lot stronger.
22. You get a constant massage of your reflex zones.
23. You learn better awareness of your surroundings.
24. Fresh snow is cold, but so soft, clean and wonderful like licking ice cream with your toes.
25. You can walk quietly, which has many advantages.
26. Feet are much easier to clean than shoes.
27. You don’t need to buy, maintain, clean your shoes and find a place to put them.
28. You won’t get a rock in your shoe.
29. Your shoelaces can’t go open.
30. You don’t need to buy, clean and sort your socks.
31. Your shoes won’t break, get lost or stolen if you don’t have any.
32. You can use your bare toes to pick up things from the ground or to scratch your leg.
33. You’re grounded, so you won’t get zapped as you touch a door handle.
34. Wet feet are no problem, wet shoes are unpleasant.
35. When you’re barefoot, mud and water on the ground isn’t an obstacle, it’s a welcome refreshment.
36. Bare feet get better and tougher with use. Shoes just wear out.
37. Feet don’t track as much dirt in when you come in from outside.
38. No delay to find your shoes and put them out when you go out of the house.
39. Being barefoot makes you interesting and can start nice conversations.
40. Bare feet can look more cute and adorable than any kind of shoes.
41. Bare feet can look more tough and adventurous than any kind of shoes.
42. Bare feet can look more elegant and stylish than any kind of shoes.
43. Bare feet look great with just about any style of clothing.
44. Sun tanned feet look better than when they are all pale or have “sandal stripes”

And here are a few that are especially important for young children (and their parents):

45. Babies learn to walk much better if they do it barefoot.
46. Bare feet always fit perfectly. Shoes don’t and children grow out of them.
47. Your toes can grow into a natural shape and aren’t squished together.
48. You can play in sand without getting it in your shoes.
49. Barefoot kids are more motivated to go out and move their body.
50. You don’t need to keep track of your shoe size when you’re constantly barefoot.
