I went out of a walk at 4.30 pm today in Sherwood Forest and the weather was still wonderful so I thought I would try something a little different. I locked my wrap and my sandals in my car and hid my keys and went for a 6 mile naked walk completely naked with nothing on my feet and nothing in my hands. It is an incredible experience the feeling of complete freedom and the feeling of the ground under my feet along with the superb weather was difficult to describe. While I was out I only met a man with three little dogs and a woman with a black Labrador, they just smiled and said hello. I am going to have to be careful as I enjoyed it so much I want to do it like that all of the time.

I often go 'full nude' as I call it i.e. nothing to cover up with but never bare foot as well - I do at home, but not for country walks.
I don't feel totally naked until I'm barefoot. I very seldom wear footwear around the house and in the garden even if I'm not naked. I also remove my shoes when I need to go into the office for work even in board meetings. Luckily I don't have smelly feet.
I'm with JMNude, I always wear walking boots when I'm nude hill walking prevents injury to feet and ankles.
You cannot change what you are willing to tolerate.
I just couldn't help it, I had to go for another walk this morning with everything locked in the car including sandals. Walked about 6 miles. It was a little cooler this morning but it still felt great. Didn't meet anyone.
6 miles in barefeet.....you must be tough as. I admit I do like being totally naked sometimes, but I couldn't walk any distance without a great deal of discomfort
Barefoot what ever the wether come rain or shine frost or snow

I like to be barefoot however on my allotment shoes or whatever my feet have been penetrated by nails. Ouch, I have stood on nails which have gone right through rubber soles and into my feet.
I like to go barefoot as much as possible and agree you don't feel totally naked unless barefoot too.
I also think it's more acceptable for women to be barefoot. Which is a pity, especially in this weather recently.
If you're a couple in the Midlands and are under 50...say hi.
I agree , I find walking totally naked including no shoes is by far the best wayto get back to nature , also if others meet you I find they are far more likely to accept your nakedness if you are also without footwear.

On holiday I do like to be barefoot at the lagoons of El Cotillo however I do need footware to freehike there.

Yes - freehiking or freecycling straight from the holiday accommodation is one of the pleasures of my El Cotillo holidays.
Footwear depends on where I am going and/or the pedal quality of the rented bicycle.
Edited to add:
On my French summer trips I take my folding cycle which has foot-friendly pedals and a small carrier so I can get most of the freecycling experience while having a cover-up available for passing villages etc.

Just a heads up for those who like to go bare foot. There is a bug in the mud that affects dogs and usually leads to their death. It's called Alabama Rot. It's been found at different locations round the UK And as I say kills dogs. Now I'm not saying it affects humans but you never know.
Sherwood seems clear of it for now or my dog would suffer as we 're doing 50 miles a week in Sherwood
Just a thought.

I quite often find when walking barefoot, but clothed, that people ask if I am a naturist or words to that effect. Those individuals clearly immediately connect the sensual experience, whereas many do not and tend not to understand naturists’ motives for going without clothes. But then, I also wonder about those who wish to be naked but have no thought of going barefoot.
Tread lightly upon the earth
Many of the walks I go on, have sharp stones, gravel, twigs, thistles and other unpleasant items at least in places. At home on grass bare foot no problem, but elsewhere sensible footwear.
In addition I like to look up and across the countryside rather than down at my feet to see what I may step in (including dog mess, or horse poo) - granted that still does require checking the ground - but its one thing having it on your shoe, another on your bare feet.
