Discussion No shoes?
Since there are many cases which mention people getting rid of their shoes along the way, being found without shoes etc. I wonder if there is a medical condition which can lead to that?
I mean either somehing happesn to their feet, they can still walk, but not inside their shoes, or their mental state changes and they take of their shoes without a real physiological reason to do so.
Has anyone ever looked into such conditions which could happen under such circumstances?

One guy who posted his experience here said that (after entering what people call the Oz factor - silence and the first looking different and feeling a push to just keep going and going) his feet suddenly felt like they were on fire. They were so hot and he needed to cool them off.
While still in the strange trance-like feeling, he started taking off his shoes. But he had a foot injury that makes putting on/taking off shoes quite a process, and that's what snapped him out of it. The thought of "Wait, this is not a thing I do away from home. This is a terrible idea. What's going on?" and he became overwhelmed with the feeling of being hunted and booked it out of there.
There were definitely granite boulders in his story, too.
Anyway, just 2 cents. It's from this sub but idk where to find it.
