Thanks for your advice. But English is not my native linguage and is not my second linguage as well. I am sorry.

I wish you have true! But I am very afraid the most probably is that eastern societis accept west customs and forgot big goodness of bare feet. When I was a young boy I was shy of my bare feet because nobody went barefoot in our environs. Only intricately and gradually I got used to go barefoot and discovered the all astounding benefits. I feel very sorry now for my „shod“ childhood but I am afraid there is nothing way to help next generations. Most of children do not understand themself, they perceiv only cold, dirty or pricking and prefer comfortable shoes. Good shoes support generally good sport performance, you can walk quickly and without attention to the earth – but we lose many more. I wish you will be right, but I am afraid I are mistaken. May be in faraway future…

Let me say a few open and honest words. I do not know how much students read the messages in these polls about going and doing P.E. in bare feet. I do not think very much. I am sure that most of visiters are foot-fetishists or barefooters which are looking for knew contacts or want participate in some discuss. But not only they. Sometimes must any student come here. Sometimes must any teacher come here. Read me, please and try to understand my bad and uncorect English. Yes. I am now barefooter and when I was young teenager I was not. We are not allowed to do P.E. barefoot (at my 6 to 8th grade), only little oportunies to také off our shoes we had. But I gradually find that it is not so bad. During attend of secondary school I did most of P.E. lessons in bare feet and when I was 17 I participated in pre-military summer camp when going barefoot was compulsary part in our programm. I remember 15 km long march without shoes. It really hurt in the end, but I broke some bariers and this experience had helped me very much. I like feel various textures under my sole, I feel comfortable when go through grass, sand or other pleasure surfaces, but I discovered another usefull feelings when had to go on gravel or hard or cold Earth. Simply said: it helps to be better. It is the way towards nature humility, to peace in your heart and to loving the world. Seriously. But this recognize do not come easy. We are not accustomed to go barefoot and when we také off our shoes only for a short time, we only feel cold, dirty, prickle, hard. If we do not train barefoot walking and try some stupid long experiment we probably only injure our feet. It is very beneficial to know how to go barefeet and to have tough feet that are able to go without shoes on various terrains. But my mind is the most of teachers do not think about that. They simply compare safety and healthy benefits and risks. As for safety and healthy, this is controversial matter. Particularly when barefoot P.E. is not systematic. Even in gym is not so good long time running without shoes on hard floor because joints and backbone crash! But when do this practise carefull and reasonably some small risk is relevant to benefits. But now become another seriously problem. Bare feet is more then in past time, as hidden part of our body, erotic symbol for somebody! Foot-fetish become widespread. And except that some people has fear from pedophilly. Result? Some teachers hesitate. Ask children to do P.E. in bare feet? That is dilemma. I think children should be inform. Open and honest. They should know bare feet may be considered as private part of body, but if teacher insist bare feet, it is generally good choice for children and teens and if give free choice to her/his students they should use this chance. There is nothing to be afraid. Students and their teachers can discuss this question reasonable. And yet one remark: if you compare performance you can find not true that bare feet are usually better (and that is why there are not many barefooters between sportsman (except some individual disciplines like gymnastics or swimming)). But we realize sport activity not only for best performance. Barefoot movement – this may be great experience! Remember it and get use to do it.
