INTRODUCTION

Growing up as toddlers, we were encouraged to take our first steps on bare feet, believing it would help us gain balance better compared to using footwear. However, as we grow older, our parents start scolding us to wear footwear, hence it is on this note I'll be sharing my ideas on the topic of Bare Feet from this community.


Do you like walking barefoot? Explain your reasons.

Walking bare feet is something I love to do only when I'm home, this reminds me of the feeling of being a child where we run around bare feet. However, this changed as we grew older with our parents wanting us to wear footwear even indoors. Walking barefeet comes with benefits such as;

  • Better control of our foot position when it strikes the ground

  • Relieving pain from improved balance, proprioception, and body awareness.

  • Improved mechanics of the hips, knees, and core

  • Helps us to maintain an appropriate range of motion on our feet and ankle joints as well as adequate strength and stability within our muscles and ligaments

  • Walking bare feet also helps us relief from improperly fitting shoes, which may cause bunions, hammertoes, or other foot deformities

  • It also builds stronger leg muscles, which support the lower back region

For these benefits, I go barefoot when I'm at home as it is considered safe for me to do so.


How important is taking care of your feet?

Taking care of our feet is very important as our feet are the foundation of our bodies, therefore, they deserve to be taken care of.

Our feet are heroes nobody talks about as they are the part of the body that carries us, by supporting our weight, helping us move around, and letting us explore the world around us. Therefore, it's only fair that take care of them.

Therefore, to take care of my feet, I try regular washing and drying to help prevent infection and them fresh. While also not forgetting to trim my toenails to avoid ingrown nails and discomfort. While also preventing dryness and cracking by moisturizing my feet from time to time.

In the bit to care for our feet, it's also very important to wear proper footwear. Wearing shoes that fit well and provide sufficient support is very vital as Ill-fitting shoes can cause blisters, calluses, and even more serious issues like bunions or plantar fasciitis.

Lastly, let us also not forget the importance of proper foot hygiene. Wearing clean socks made of breathable materials can help prevent unpleasant odors and fungal infections.


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

To me, this is not always true, even as it can be. But it is something we've to keep in mind when walking barefoot in certain environments, like dirty or contaminated areas, which can increase the risk of picking up parasites or infections.

It is to this effect that we're encouraged to take care of our feet appropriately and regularly to prevent such scenarios from happening. I believe walking barefoot in a clean environment can not bring about parasites getting in.


What do you think of a world without shoes?.

A world without shoes does sound interesting and it would indeed be a unique experience, feeling the ground beneath our feet and connecting with nature. However, we should also be realistic, this won't happen as shoes provide protection, support, and comfort, especially in different terrains and weather conditions.

So while going barefoot can be fun occasionally, having shoes available for everyday life is a good idea as it makes us presentable and fashionable. To this effect, I can't see the whole world going barefoot unless it is World Barefoot Day. Lol 😆.

CONCLUSION

As much as going barefoot while walking and exercising comes with some benefits, we may have concerns about our safety or foot health, For this reason, I would say let's protect our health and also take care of our feet.

Thank you for the invite dear friend..
Indeed when we were a child we did lots of funny things. I remembered each time in school when it was time for football sports I would remove my shows and socks and keep them one side and I will be on bare foot, I felt it made me play well and secondly because I didn't want to spoil my shoes hahaha..

Best wishes

It's interesting to know the many benefits of walking barefoot. It Indeed help us attain that comfortable when at home so you can feel your legs in connection with the ground which is most at times healthy in terms of physical fitness. This post reminds me of when I was in primary school. Those sports we usually carryout were on barefoot to give us balance as shoes can't be compared to the resilience barefoot provides especially when we usually do tug of war. Disadvantages are also there of walking barefoot especially in environments like construction sites and other places. You've done noble. I love walking barefoot as well. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you best of luck in this challenge.

Walking bare-footed isn't good most times because there's higher possibilities of we stepping on broken bottles which will definitely injure our feet.

Our feet is very important because it makes walking and running possible for us. Footballers doesn't joke with their feet at all because they make use of it alot while playing football.

I wish you good luck in this contest sir.
