Basically, they dont allow your feet to function properly.
Imagine putting your hands in thick firm, not very flexible mittens. Like deep winter thick.
Now.. Go about your daily business... Can you pick up your fork? Eat? Drink? Put your clothes on? Drive your car?
Maybe.. But not easily at all! And your arms would seriously wear out, using muscles in weird unnatural ways to make up for the lack of hand sensitivity, flexibility & use.. Yes?
;)
I have a friend (who is kind of wormy, LOL) who goes barefoot all the time. He has never had worms, and is above average healthy. He is included in a study on grounding, where contact with the Earth extends life. I am watching the results carefully, but I may have to start going barefoot soon....
I am adding a copper ground contact (a penny) on the bottom of each sole. I hope RTV will hold the penny in place. A contact on the top side for my foot will be connected by a copper grounding strap.
The chance of getting worms, through your feet is pretty slim. If you licked the ground..then yes😂 but, you have parasites already from just daily life.
We barefoot around home, but wear shoes out & about

Cool article. Thanks for sharing @corrielaine
Welcome @mumma-monza!
Great analogy! I could see wearing minimalist shoes, however I’d be nervous about getting worms going barefoot.

Yes! We love grounding! It really energizes you!

Great idea! Share some pics when you've finished them!
Sounds good, LOL! A penny for my thoughts takes on a whole new meaning.... :)
