Subject: Shoes are stress, feet want to be free

Shoes (no matter what kind) stress out our feet in many ways: They are often too hot (so feet sweat a lot, which is meant to cool by evaporation but in shoes evaporation isn't possible so it just gets uncomfortably damp which leads to bad smells or even fungus), they never fit perfectly (and even "perfectly fitting" shoes restrict the movement of our toes), they often contain harmful chemicals (especially those sneakers made in some far-away countries I assume). And they don't let us use our sense of touch (only feeling the inside of shoes is so boring).
I have always preferred to go barefoot instinctively (it just feels better) but the more I think about it the more logical it gets to me. Feet are meant to be free. Now in summer of course with shorts and a loose fitting T-shirt, but even when it cools down it'll be time for long pants and jackets long before I think of covering my feet.
I'm just 17 and don't have children of my own but if I have children at some point in the future they won't even get used to shoes, they can live barefoot as they're born for as long as they like.
