I am quite literally allergic to shoes.
More neanderthal genes, I fear.

So much for evolution.

When you look at it, the known Story of Civilization should actually be the Story of Those Who Built with Stone or Clay. You really have to wonder what civilizations could have predated the Egyptions or Sumarians, but simply didn’t build with a material that lasted long enough for us to find their traces.

Is it the shoes or the glues and chemicals used in the shoes?
Had a nephew with a similar problem which was solved by 100 all leather sewn together boots with no glues or fabrics inside.

Dunno - got tested for all that, no allergic reaction.
But if I wear shoes, my feet break out in a horrible case of eczema.

Barefoot whenever possible - if I go to a meeting, I drive barefoot, put on shoes, do the meeting, take off shoes as soon as I leave.

Doesn’t this ruin it all for hippies?
To: patton
Interesting. How do you manage in business and social situations, does everyone accept you going barefoot?

according to a study on recently excavated small toe bones that belonged to an individual from China who apparently loved shoes******************

The words “medical profile” work wonders in the modern corporate world.
Not something I am proud of - I refused to do it for years, and wound up very sick as a result.
In my own office, the powers-that-be have accepted that I have a physical, if somewhat silly and wierd, physical limitation.
And, when I meet with customers, I wear shoes.
I am not very comfortable with having to go barefoot, but the alternative is BAD.
So, you do what you have to.

I was thinking more along the lines of people who built with wood.
