You have inspired me to take the shoes and socks off more often!

I spend some time outside barefoot as soon as the snow and ice goes away. In the winter not so much.

But at home, I always go barefoot. I walk out on the deck without shoes or socks even in the winter sometimes if it's nice.

I’m so pleased to have inspired you to go barefoot more often Tim. I agree it is much easier to do when the weather is better. Although I do like to sit in the garden with coat, gloves, hat and scarf and a hot cup of tea whilst grounding in the winter. Makes it more palatable!

Also, have you noticed that grounding on grass in winter is actually much warmer than slabs?

I have noticed that although most of the winter the grass is covered in snow for us

Where are you based Tim? Sounds very cold there! I’m wondering if you could pour some Luke warm water on a patch of grass so you can get your feet on it!

I’m in Alberta, Canada. It’s -10 C this morning so getting wet bare feet outside might mean sticking to the ground!

I LOVED this and 1079% agree. Been barefootin' like you for a few years. Today I took my first post swim barefoot beach run of the year! Literally 300 yards on pebbles - hurt like hell but felt SO good after! Thanks for the reminder... I also just ordered some new barefoot shoe/socks as the pavements round me are not always that conducive to barefoot running.

Yes I can imagine that would have hurt. Before starting life barefoot, walking on pebbled beaches was so much harder. Now it feels like a foot massage.

It’s great that you’re running barefoot. I’m not much of a runner but I think I would like to try some barefoot running.

Thanks Nick! Did you get a chance to try it over the last week?

Now that the weather is getting warmer in the UK, I’m spending a solid 10 hours a day grounding and it’s certainly making me feel better!
