l play basket ball in the street with bare feet, i walk bare foot as much as i can. but im trying to build my soles up so that i have hobbit feet and can walk on anything.....well except hot sand, they are tough, but stilll burn hot hot hot!!

This reminds me of a friends mom who freaked out because I was barefoot on the lawn. (This was when I was a teen.) She made me put shoes on because she thought I would hurt myself. I gave her a dumbfounded look and told her I never wear shoes outside at home. Which horrified her more because she knew my house was surrounded by rocks and thistles.

But being barefoot is fine, some people just don't like feet. I'm sad that my yard now has lots of rusty nails and broken glass in it. I like being barefoot but I'm not stupid.

No worse than going to the corner store in your pyjamas.

Ah, ok, on that one:

On paved ground it's actually true that shoes are healthier. Our movement apparatus is not designed for prolonged movement on super-hard undergrounds(our natural "suspension" is optimized for off-road experience).

On wooden floors or all natural environs(primarily dirt/grass) barefoot is actually the healthy way to go ^_^

As for the others: If you just dwell there, is it their house? If so, you could be considerate and act as they wish, however strange it may seem.
If not and you are equally "entitled" to presence there, just go ahead and do your thing...

I think it's pretty normal. I despise shoes and so do most of my friends. I grew up going barefoot as often as I could possibly get away with it, and never had any sort of foot problems until I joined the military and had to wear boots all the time.

makes your feet stronger, and it's comfortable. not to mention what it does to improve the healthy function of chakras. do what you will. it's your folks who are dooped into wearing $90 shoes made by people who are practically slaves in countries where shoes are a luxury. peace be with you.

I prefer being bare foot. This is why I loved marshal arts. You could run around bare foot and no one would care. I do have a specific type of shoe I really like however.
