Notice
Barefoot and proud!
I said there should be a notice page about ways to respond to the question, "Why are you barefoot?" But then I realized the Dirty Sole society had already done that, so I mosied on over to their homepage and unconscienably stole their answers.

If you're a barefooter, or if you want to know what it's about, (or if you want to see the unabridged version of this list) check out The Dirty Sole Society. It's a great site with all sorts of excellent stuff about barefoot living and society activities. I'm personally not a member, but I'm not really a joiner. If I was, this is probably the first place I'd sign up.
