Is it true that going barefoot over flip flops are better for your feet outside??
Going barefoot is very healthy. Injuries are unlikely; feet get very tough very quickly, I rarely get even as much as a splinter and never had a cut in ten years of going barefoot everywhere. Parasites are unlikely as well; hookworm can enter through the feet but has been pretty much gone from the South since modern plumbing has replaced the outhouses and never was a problem in cooler climates. Other worms spread by ingestion, not through the foot. Feet don't need support; a study among people in Asia who'd never worn shoes showed the rikshaw coolies, who ran barefoot on pavement all day long, had very, very few foot problems; far less than Western folks! Some stores require shoes but it's not a Health Department law or insurance requirement.





I have little experience with flipflops, I prefer being barefoot because it's just far more comfortable and pleasant to feel all the different surfaces underneath (even the rough ones), so I can't give much advice about them, only that when driving it's better to take them off and drive barefoot. In spite of persistent myths, driving barefoot is *not* illegal and driving with loose footwear as flipflops is much more dangerous than without any footwear at all (see last link in the source).
Reply:Not on cement, wear shoes there.


Barefoot (or as close as possible) allows the bottom of your feet to be moved by the texture of the ground (grass, dirt, sand, etc.). There are nerve endings at the bottom of the feet which correspond with organs and body parts. The massaging (moving) of them increases energy and circulation throughout your body.
Reply:No, you need some foot protection! I like the flip flops that are kind of squishy. Steve Madden has some comfy foam ones! You want ones that offer some support for you feet.
Reply:It's not safer or healthier. Besides stepping on stuff that could puncture your feet, you can also get worms and such. That said, I went barefoot all the time as a child. But then, that's how I know about the punctures and worms.
Reply:You need something to support your feet! Flip flops are ruining our feet. We need to support our arches, to try and prevent our arches falling in later life. Flip flops on the weekend are ok, but those who wear them allll the time are definitely doing their feet no favours.





The thicker the better and something with a little arch support in it!





Though you know, I just love walking around on the grass barefoot, it's the best! :)
Reply:flip flops are good for you. they are flimsey and contour to the natural shape of your feet =)





bearfoot is for bears... wild animals that dont care how thier feet look. unless you live in a perfect lucious field of soft grass, your feet will be killed if you dont wear shoes.
Reply:how else are you planning to wear flip flops??





just dont wear them with socks..





and it seems like the thicker the flip flop the more support you would have..but they could still be damaging to your feet if they are poorly made.





it seems like you're trying to ask if it's better for your feet to wear flip flops or go bare foot. that would depend on where you're planning on walking.
Reply:no way. i broke both my feet doing that. the breaks are called stress fractures. wear shoes with supports. you'll regret it later in life if you don't.
Reply:no, flip flops are safe and they protect you so its better to wear them outside instead of going barefoot
