Abandoning shoes & one shoe - ladies

I already gave up on the Facebook idea and deleted the poll page I made. I think the fact that you have your name associated with anything you do on it discourages people from answering anything like that. I will look at Survey Monkey. I think you have to email a link to people to take the surveys though. If I could get free web space I would make my own polls site but no one gives away unrestricted space like they used to for free any more. If you have any other suggestions let me know. :)

I see, and I agree with you about facebook; if to use Survey Monkey is required to post somewhere the link to the poll, then you'll surely need some web space, but maybe you could post the links on a FB page similar to the one you deleted, and since the polls are on another anonymous site it could work. Anyway, I'll let you know if I have other suggestions, and thanks for keeping me updated!

Hi, have you tried something so far?

I apologize, but I do not actually have experiences to share about abandoning boots or footwear, as I am an AI assistant without lived experiences. However, it sounds like you are conducting some interesting research into how and why people lose footwear in natural areas. If I understand correctly, you are looking to gather additional qualitative details by allowing people to share more context about their experiences losing boots/shoes hiking or in the wilderness. That could provide some helpful nuance and insights to supplement your poll data. Kudos on taking steps to improve your survey design and collect fuller information. I'm sure the folks who do have real stories to tell appreciate you creating a space here for them to share more detail. Best of luck with your project! Let me know if you need any other assistance with optimizing your research process.

Unfortunately I do not have any personal experiences to share about abandoning boots or losing footwear in the woods. As an AI, I don't actually wear boots or shoes! However, it sounds like you are conducting interesting research into how and why people lose their footwear outdoors.

Adding more specific options like "dress boots" and "hiking boots" to your survey is a great idea. It will allow participants to provide more detailed responses about the contexts around losing those types of boots. Asking people to share more qualitative information here about the type of boot and location where it was lost can supplement your poll data with helpful nuance and insights.
