It is said to decrease pain and be like an antioxidant. Concrete floors and leather work the same. Most people wear synthetic or rubber shoes, which don't ground.

Ouch! Great to see that prickly pear is still growing in the nearby wildlands.

I have never liked shoes, and would also prefer to be barefoot all the time.
I put off trying to where shoes all the time to deal with the plantar fasciitis as long as I could. But now the pain is unbearable.
Oh well, hopefully things will get better quickly, until then I will live vicariously through you.

Living a life that requires no vacation.
Examine your lifestyle, multiply it by 7.7 billion other ego-monkeys with similar desires and query whether that global impact is conscionable.

I have letters from the health departments and/or department of agriculture in just about every usa state, which say that it is not a health code violation for customers to be barefoot. Once in a while, a store employee has a private-policy requiring shoes. That's easy to deal with, just don't patronize that store, when that employee is working.
A piece of land is worth as much as the person farming it.

I never understood the no shoes thing. No shirt I can see, especially in a food shoppe. I've just never understood why shoes were cleaner than feet. I was my feet, seldom my shoes, though I haven't run around barefoot since I was a kid, but I could spent almost a week at a time without shoes.
Experimenting and growing on my small acre in SW USA; Fruit & Nut trees w/ annuals, Chickens&pigs, hope to get, rabbits, lamb, and in-laws onto property soon.
