We have 16 bee hives and our yard is full of clover... so that would be a no.

If you’ve never done nighttime woodland land nav at night with literally nothing but a compass you cannot appreciate clothing and footwear appropriately enough.

Every day. I start the day taking a cup of coffee with me to check the vegetable garden.
The morning dew keeps my feet pretty clean. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yes, all the time. If you never go barefoot you will have bitch feet. I always said if I won the lottery, I would buy a place on some tropical island like in French Polynesia and throw my shoes away for good. |

Hell no, Oklahoma has chiggers, ticks, scorpions, tarantulas, all kinds on frogs and toads that are kind of squishy when you step on them not mention copperheads, rattle snakes and cotton mouth.

If I could kick a football or soccer ball as hard as I can kick a dining room chair barefoot, I'd be a wealthy man.
Shoes, yes. Not sandals. I'll remove them inside at the host's request. |

As I get older, my feet aren’t as tough as they once were, though. |

Outdoors in the summer in my backyard? The heat of the rocks would sear the cuts from said rocks, I suppose.

Very rarely.
I like to protect my feet from injury, and keep shit out of my feet, like sharp objects, thorns, spurs, parasites, ringworm, etc. |

Yeah, all the time. We have nice soft grass free of painful rocks or insects. Just got back from checking on the pool.
Hell, I walk out to the car or step outside to get firewood barefoot when it's -20F. ETA there are a lot of honey bees though |

Quote HistoryQuoted: We have 16 bee hives and our yard is full of clover... so that would be a no. I do have a bunch of clover and someone has a bunch of beehives across the highway. I've found that flip flops are worse. The bees get caught between the flip flop and your foot. I got nailed 4 times last summer in flip flops. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: When I was a kid it was a point of pride to toughen your feet up so you could walk though the woods, on gravel, asphalt, etc. wearing shoes was a sign of weakness. A girl in my high school was known for that. When she wanted to make a point (outside of school), she would slowly grind her cigarette out on the bottom of her foot.  She was mostly pretty casual, but you couldn't rely on it. One time we were talking and she asked about my girlfriend, and I told her "We just broke up". Her calm reply was "Want me to beat her up?", and I smiled and said "No". She just shrugged/nodded, and went on with the conversation. |

This is another 'I'm the manliest man!' thread just like steak threads. 'i only cook my steaks ultra rare and always wear boots!'
I used to run barefoot. My feet are all fucked up from shitty boots and being on my feet too long , I've already had one surgery for the latter. I don't wear footwear unless I'm leaving the house and then I usually wear minimalist shoes (Merrell Trail Gloves) without socks. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 2 massive Hawthorn trees in my backyard, and one in the front. I would go barefoot if I had to for some reason I suppose, but it's not a good idea. I've had to pull hawthorns out the the dogs pads and it's not fun. So it's a "no" for me. I keep a pair of slip-on shoes at the backdoor just for that reason.  I only have to deal with stepping on Sweet Gum tree pods  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Id barefoot walk the fuck out of that grass Nice job  Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Absolutely. I’m in work boots 12-15 hours every day. Flip flops or bare feet once home, unless the situation calls for shoes or boots. I’ll catch flak for this, but I mow my grass barefoot. It’s soft as fuck. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/157991/F89D671E-68A8-45F4-A8CA-38C489BE5FEC_jpe-2445382.JPG Id barefoot walk the fuck out of that grass Nice job Fuck yeah, thanks man It’s a pain in the ass sometimes, and sometimes I’d just as soon pay one of the many local crews to do it, but damn it looks good when it’s done. I edge it, mow it, then strap on the backpack blower with a cold beer in hand, no shoes, and finish it up. Then I drink more beers just looking at it. |
