Whenever people tell me that they're too afraid to walk with their shoes off I tell them that doing do so with confidence, held high and with an attitude of "I know what I'm doing!" will always get people to leave you alone. I've walked in malls, stores, airports and airplanes. In all the years since I ditched my shoes, only three times has someone stopped me and told me that I had to have shoes on, and one of those was actually on false pretenses. The rest of the time, while I may have caught people looking at me out of the corner of my eye, I have primarily been left alone except from those people who were actually jealous of the fact that I was doing something that they wished they could do, but were too afraid...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018195099405270825.post-28179866507606693632012-03-06T03:13:16.735-05:002012-03-06T03:13:16.735-05:00I know what you mean, Globy.

Even if you get kicked out of a store for being barefoot, give it some time and GO BACK (barefoot of course). You might not get hassled the second time. They might never hassle you again. This has happened to me *everywhere* I've been ejected. I just keep going back. I don't know if they just get accustomed to the barefoot guy or what, but I now have free reign in my town to go barefoot wherever (except my classroom!). Also, believe it or not, there really are other people going barefoot, too (even though most of them are not "barefooters"). You're not the only one getting kicked out or helping to educate the discriminators. (It may actually be those non-committed occasional barefoot types that make the most impact on social acceptance).Daniel Howellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470610232768187156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018195099405270825.post-35264450584987841002012-03-05T08:42:03.598-05:002012-03-05T08:42:03.598-05:00Here's a post I wrote some time ago on dealing...Here's a post I wrote some time ago on dealing with confrontations. http://barefootprof.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-barefooters-dont-be-jerk.htmlDaniel Howellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470610232768187156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018195099405270825.post-71104658732254087992012-03-05T08:16:19.855-05:002012-03-05T08:16:19.855-05:00I'm with Vivian (unless you've already don...I'm with Vivian (unless you've already done a post on how to respond to confrontation?). I've found all your tips to work. Folks also tend to notice my bare feet sooner if I'm wearing skinny jeans as opposed to baggier jeans. I've never tried the barefoot sandals, though.

And I especially agree ...Daniel, excellent article. And I especially agree with your first point. You are doing nothing wrong, so don't act like you are.<br /><br />Basically, you are likely to have a problem ONLY if these 2 conditions are met:<br />1. You come close to someone who has some "authority" in a store or restaurant who does not like bare feet, and<br />2. That person actually notices your feet.<br /><br />But even if those conditions are met, you still may not be confronted unless you are seen as "easy target." A barefooter who displays a less than confident demeanor is an easy target. A barefooter who is alone is an easier target than one who is with one or more other people who are not barefoot. (As you pointed out in both cases.)<br /><br />A lot of this is simply psychological gamesmanship. But the better we learn to play the game, the better we'll be at winning the game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018195099405270825.post-67538351103328099502012-03-04T09:12:43.907-05:002012-03-04T09:12:43.907-05:00How about a follow-up post on how to respond appro...How about a follow-up post on how to respond appropriately when you ARE confronted? That is when you have the chance to be a good barefoot ambassador, challenging herd thinking and possibly changing minds, or else to come across as an arrogant jerk, re-enforcing an association between bare feet and obnoxiousness.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13127035984845747505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018195099405270825.post-68430433891820521002012-03-04T07:33:44.304-05:002012-03-04T07:33:44.304-05:00And surprisingly my comment there has a net positi...And surprisingly my comment there has a net positive without any persuaded votes.Globyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04832154000158350803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018195099405270825.post-33195480617800354842012-03-04T07:29:35.523-05:002012-03-04T07:29:35.523-05:00Give thumb up to all barefoot friendly comments on...Give thumb up to all barefoot friendly comments on fresh articles like this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2109140/Georgia-Salpa-sports-painful-looking-puncture-wounds-wearing-Louboutin-spiked-heels.html#comments<br /><br />or any article that remotely touches on shoes and feet.<br /><br />and make such comments..this way barefoot could be made to be more acceptable with the 'follow the crowd' types.
