I often go backpacking barefoot
Anyone else try this or am I just the weirdo here? FORGET THOSE BLISTER CAUSING, TOE NAIL KILLING BOOTS
Besides...its fun to squish through the mud.

I have often thought about it, but I figured that I would be the person to find that piece of glass or old nail that has been there for the past fifty years. I hate those tetnis boosters

RE: I often go backpacking barefoot
I've never had problems with my boots or shoes...and I've never been compelled to go barefoot.
























Still don't have the urge!

I love it! I'll never forget the one time that I was squishing and sliding through the mud in Feburary and a hunter came along and saw me. He didn't say a word and kept on going. I don't knock off a lot of miles or go too fast but it is so nice to kick off the shoes and let the dogs run.

moonsong, you should live in Seattle. Everyone wears sandals here, but the catch is they wear socks with the sandals in the winter, and even when it rains.

My boots feel cozy. G-Strings feel confining.

RE: I often go backpacking barefoot
I used to hike in sandals but my feet (arches) were too tired at the end of the day. Now I save it for campsite and hike in boots. My feet are much happier now.

Your feet would get killed in the Sierra. It's mostly granite. Even sandles (and I love 'em) are murder.

Buddur needs to move west, more single hiking females out that way, it seems....And it sounds like they don't want clothes for Christmas.

RE: I often go backpacking barefoot
I was out barefootin' today. Spent the day climbing. I usually go barefoot at the top of the crag when movin' from route to route. Climbing shoes hurt to walk in, and it takes to long to put boots back on. That cold, hard rock feels great on the feet.
