I discovered my love for walking shoe-less when I wore flip-flops to the beach, and my flip-flops became useless when my friends decided to take a walk in the forest preserve afterwards. I removed them and we went exploring in the middle of the woods after a rainstorm, and I fell in love with the feelings beneath my bare toes. How did you discover your passion for barefooting, and if it was an experience like mine please explain it.
