Barefoot Hiking

My boys and I do a lot of hiking and we always go barefoot. It's great, you'll love it.

croc304, your advice is faulty.

you do not get athlete’s foot from going barefoot as the fungus needs a warm, humid, dark, enclosed space to propagate. it will not (and cannot) grow on a bare foot!

blisters are also not caused by walking barefoot but by improper footwear.

see www.barefooters.org (the society for barefoot living) for more info on this healthy lifestyle and how to cope in a shod world.

i have never had athlete’s foot and seldom have any problems as long as i remember to watch where i'm stepping. the worst i usually experience is hitting the ball of my foot on an uneven patch of sidewalk.

barefoot is better!

I used to walk barefoot, now I have athlete's foot, but only on my left foot. You'll also get blister. I wouldn't recommend it...at least wear socks.
