Do you like walking barefoot? Explain your reasons.

I do not like walking barefooted,infact it is unthinkable and ridiculous to walk around a modern metropolis without a footwear.if I walk barefooted in the twenty-fourth century, what is the difference between me and pre-historic man? Walking barefooted except when you are indoors at home is an erroneous notion held by some who maintain that walking barefooted is living close to nature, but I belong to the school of thought that hold that walking with an appropriate footwear that soothes the occasion is the greatest demonstration of modernity,civility and decorum.

The need for footwear and the act of wearing it also demonstrates social and cultural acceptability, it is Impossible to accept or allow a man into any social space in this modern time without a footwear.the match for civilization and advancement has it's climatic symbol in the wearing of footwear. infact, man's culture had never at any given time approved the scenario of a man who is well dressed without a fitting footwear to go with it and therefore fashion without footwear is meaningless and empty.

The pertinent question now is, how can a man be considered sane who puts on a well tailored three piece sooth with a hat to match standing at the middle of traffic or stepping into a shopping mall barefooted despite his impeccable dressing. projecting or thinking about a world without footwear is conceiving a mad world where well dressed men appear mad, how can you imagine a corporate world full of men who appear well dressed but barefooted?

Even animals in the dense jungles are naturally furnished with footwears and domestic animals are no exception, they all possess one naturally endowed footwear or another which serves an adaptive feature for protection and also for self preservation. For instance, the horse and the camel cannot serve the purpose of useful beast of burden without fitting footwears which adapts them to perform this vital function.

If beast of burden and wild animals are endowed with natural footwears it is also fitting that man should fashion out a footwear for himself for his self preservation since he is not naturally endowed with any footwear.

How important is taking care of your feet

Taking care of your feet is of paramount importance because it is believed that ones feet is a reflection of his personality. In a world that grappling with pollution, the soil or the terrestrial habitat is not left out in the malice. given this scenario, in order to remain healthy ,one always need to take care of his feet after making contact with the foot deliberately or unintentionally with the earth surface.

One of the most commonest foot infection is athletes foot. This disease attacks the foot exclusively by cracking the surface of the foot which creates pains for the suferer. This disease is infectious and also socially demeaning because one who suffers from athletes foot is believed to be socially inferior who lacks culture and is not associated with cultured people or clean environment .

It is important that we protect our foot from infections because parasites like nematodes that can enter our body through our feet when it comes in contact with infected water, mashes and soil where this organisms live. The feet can get infected if it is not properly cared for and in turn it will make it impossible for us to use footwears which is the major symbol of a civilized man. It is rather illogical for one to come out and assert that he is healthy when the feet is infected.

Another useful substance we can use to care for our feet is salt in the absence of antiseptics. when your feet comes in contact with unhealthy, infected and polluted environment, you have to get worm water and add salt to it then use the solution to wash your feet. It is also very useful to put on stockings and not to wear tight shoes.
Puting on stockings especially in cold weather helps regulate body temperature which keeps us healthy. It is very important to know that wearing tight shoes can promote infections and diseases to our foot. tight shoes can also change texture and shape of the skin of our feet.

The foot is always taken for granted and not given proper attention like the face but perceptive persons may pay more attention to the foot because like the face, the foot might have a lot to tell a perceptive person which may include his occupation, lifestyle and habits. For instance, the foot texture of a banker may differ from that of a manual labourer. It also should be noted that without the foot, no man can stand and if no one can stand, practically a lot will not be done and this means that taking care of our foot is of paramount importance.

What do you think of the saying “Don't walk barefoot, parasites can get in”?

Walking barefooted which is the wrong notion of being one with nature is in fact a loose expression suitable for only the naive and the simple-minded. Those who abide by the above assertion are ignorant of the very negative consequences of walking barefooted which may result in contracting infections from the mild to the life-threatening.

I believe that walking barefooted was suitable for man at his earliest and simplest stages of existence when he lived in caves and jungles and had no need nor knowledge of the complexities of modern Life. I totally subscribe to the notion that holds that we must always wear our footwears to avoid contamination and avoidable parasites.

What do you think of a world without shoes?

What I think of a world without shoes is a world where civilization have reterograded, probably a picture of total hopelessness that enveloped the world after a devastating global disaster. In this scenario, no man can afford the simplest pay of footwear. We will be faced with a bizzare world of shoeless humanity who have lost touch with culture and refinement and I am sure that a barefooted world must be an insane world where people scramble around their day to day activities without bothering to wear shoes or footwears; it is synonymous to man being naked.

But what is fashion as an art if not crowned with fitting footwear? The global business of fashion will crumble and collapse in a world that exist barefooted because what authenticates a well designed and well tailored clothing is the footwear. Lack of footwear exposes the vulnerability of man's physiology. Imagine a military man armed to the teeth without a footwear or an entire army that is barefooted. Such an army in a barefooted world will be a ridicule to that noble profession.

Finally a world without footwear will live man in the most unsanitary condition. Imagine men matching into a bank with mud-drenched feet into a painstakingly cleaned banking hall, we will have a bank messed up with mud prints. All in all, to imagine a shoeless world is akim to a match thousands of years backwards.

A shoeless world make man ridiculous, uncultured and a diseased-infested being, what will become of shoe and other footwear manufacturers in the world will only become an imagination. A world without footwear is one that lacks footing.
