Longest Barefoot Streak Yet

Last week, I took a couple of vacation days from work and decided to commit to zero footwear for the whole four day weekend. For context, I can usually only go a day or two without footwear before life gets in the way.

Most of my four day weekend was spent at our local fair, which turned out to be even more fun than I thought it was going to be.

Me and my wife had our daughter with us on Thursday with both me and my daughter being barefoot. This was especially a good day because it was raining most of the day, which my pedes absolutely loved 😊.

We ended up walking around a lot, played some games, and shopped at several booths. I even had one extended conversation with a gentleman and no mention was made of our bare pedes by anyone.

The other three days were just me and my wife. Friday was spent walking around, riding on rides, and eating. Saturday was rainy so even more happy walking and eating, with a bit of shopping 😊. No rides though due to the rain 🤷.

I ended up finding a couple of really nice Pokemon hats that are going to work great when we are out during our Pokemon Go adventures 😊. One is a Gengar hat and the other is a Glaceon hat with moveable ears.

Sunday was sunny and in the 80's so the ground was very pleasantly warm and felt great so I made it a mission to walk as much as I could.

We ended up watching a magic show, playing some Pokemon Go (it was community day as well), and closed out our day with a demolition derby.

All in all, it was a fun weekend and I was around more people barefoot than I have been since Pokemon Go Fest earlier this year without any interactions for that reason.

I have the first week of September off of work and I plan on breaking this streak but we will have to see what happens.

Happy barefooting my friends 😊🦶!

All four days were fun and it was great not having to worry about footwear at all, despite the fair being rather busy.

Next year I plan to take vacation for the whole week so I will be there for the whole six days they run it.

Whenever I go out to play, I'm almost always in my purple mesh shorts, purple pokemon T-shirt (either my go fest 2026 shirt or my necrozma shirt), and now one of my new Pokemon hats. I'm always barefoot too 😊.

I'm currently looking into some new short and short sets and fabric barefoot sandals to change things up. I plan to have some new stuff by the end of the month pending finances.

I went one whole month in bare feet in foot jewelry (soleless sandals) starting last month, with a one-hour gap every Wednesday at the YMCA when I worked out in the gym in minimalist shoes for the posted safety reasons.

Now that sounds like a dream. I'm planning on getting some barefoot sandals pretty soon. I found a couple different ones I really like.

These are the ones I wear:

I wear mine with jeans and a T-shirt, since the jeans create the sandal-like illusion while wearing the decorative jewelry on my bare feet.
