And socks will fall!

Socks have very little use anyways. Unless you are going to wear boots and do some fucking work, go barefoot and toughen up a little. If you can't run barefoot, you are domesticated.

Can you run without wearing shoes? Or, do you need your shoes to do anything at a normal pace?

In city I use shoes all the time.....

In village used to both, now go play with cow manure

I would wear shoes in cities, but also, why the fuck are you in a city? Those concrete jungles are cesspools of degeneracy and violations against nature.

I am too old to play with cow manure, man. That is for a specific time in a child's life, and I am well past that time, sir. Did you never stop?

That sounds like a whole lot of nights digging out splinters.

Maybe when you are a little kid, and you have soft feet, or if you are a domesticated adult human. If you still have soft feet now as an adult, then it really says something about your lifestyle. My feet are tough, like leathery soles forged through experience. The only thing I try to avoid these days are weeds, because fuck, pulling those little prick out can be hard.

I realize that I am being a little silly with all this, but I still support my statements. If you have to put shoes on to do anything at a normal pace, you are domesticated. It isn't necessarily bad. I love domesticated dogs, they are great and I work with them for a living, but it is very telling when a dog will only walk with a leash on. Humans who require shoes for all tasks, for some reason, remind me of those types of dogs.

Have you ever gone barefoot in the woods? It's like taking a nature piss. The more you do it, the easier it becomes.

Maybe I just like mud squishing between my toes a little too much.

I spent my childhood in the woods, barefoot or not. I remember being at my dad's trailerpark and having about 20 tiny splinters from the pine needles, for some reason that didn't break me.

I stepped on a relatively fuckhuge snake that was hiding in the muck near where I was catching frogs at a friend's family pond, while running onto the deck I got a splinter in that sensitive, middle section of my foot that went kinda deep. I had to go to the doctor's office to have that thing removed, and that is when I broke. Plus you can get parasites through the soles of your feet, and I know we get them other ways but I'm closing my ears for that argument because it makes me want to die.

Ah, I consider your words and see merit in them. I must've been lucky on all those rickety decks and forest floors, I never had to deal with anything like that. I've had multiple nails go through my shoes and soles before. That sucks, and you learn to watch where you step real quick.

I have not heard of the parasite thing before. I'm going to spend some time looking into this. I never wear shoes, but that is only because I am flat-footed, and shoes suffocate my poor clods.

This is just basic webmd, but yeah. If you're walking around barefoot in places where animals might have shit, it's risky.
