| New post about how Diminished Harmony got rid of her very last pair of shoes this weekend. Now she doesn't own any shoes at all (not even flip flops). https://idontwearshoes.squarespace.com/config#/pages/556e44b3e4b0a09f9d23752a|/new-blog-avenue/2015/6/7/it-wasnt-simple  |

Anyway, cool, Diminished Harmony got rid of all her shoes, cool. I wish I could personally re-tenderize her soles and clean them after every epic barefoot trip. Oh how barefoot on dashboard has a super special charm for me, even more special with the sight of her extra charming feet.  |

| Good work so far on the blog. The friends tab is a good idea. Reaching out and finding community is rewarding. You were always welcome to post to my discussion post I started but I am glad you started your own because I don't plan to reply to that discussion anymore even if others post pictures. Just being gone for a few days and it has become madness! I will be steeping away from the computer for the summer (need a break) but out finding barefoot girls and will post one day. Good luck! |

Thanks! Your thread was a great inspiration for the blog. Sorry it all went to hell... Enjoy your technological sabbatical. I'm envious. |

Wow! Could your lovely wife walk on snow or ice barefooted? |
| Posted by: AlteredDominant Jun 9 2015, 07:38 PM | ||
We're going to find out! |
| Posted by: e350ln Jun 9 2015, 08:24 PM |
| You are doing a good deal! Could your wife make her soles dirty as shown on this photo? http://img231.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=76363_2562931180098220273EzQIvK_ph_123_580lo.jpg How about walking on gravel or coarse pavement? I wish you good luck. |

| The "It wasn't simple" post is pure fantasy for most of us, but you've managed to make it your reality. Congratulations on finding that one in a million lady! |
| Posted by: e350ln Jun 9 2015, 09:12 PM |
| It is good that they have destroyed her last pair of shoes, but how she could go to the work or in winter? |
| Posted by: AlteredDominant Jun 9 2015, 11:34 PM | ||
She has no problem at all on even the sharpest gravel. She walks over it like it is nothing. Oh, yeah. Her soles were incredibly dirty this weekend. |
| Posted by: AlteredDominant Jun 9 2015, 11:38 PM | ||
She's really amazing. Sometimes I wonder when I'm going to wake up. |
| Posted by: SprocketMan Jun 9 2015, 11:41 PM |
| Oh. Good. You are back. I like this pictures. your lady is very lovely. |
| Posted by: AlteredDominant Jun 9 2015, 11:41 PM | ||
She is self-employed, so she doesn't have to worry about that. We live in Alabama, and the climate is hot and humid in the summer, and temperate in the winter. She's a little afraid of the winter, actually, but I'm sure she'll be fine. I, for one, am really excited to see her all bundled up in a heavy coat and gloves, but bare feet! |
| Posted by: e350ln Jun 10 2015, 03:37 PM | ||
I don't like completely soiled feet. I prefer soles soiled like this: http://img231.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=76363_2562931180098220273EzQIvK_ph_123_580lo.jpg So, please, post a corresponding photo of your wife's soles. I also like dusty soles. |
| Posted by: AlteredDominant Jun 11 2015, 07:44 PM |
| We're planning on daily public barefoot selfies in. I just posted the first one! https://idontwearshoes.squarespace.com/new-blog-avenue/2015/6/11/daily-barefoot-walmart-1 |
| Posted by: e350ln Jun 12 2015, 10:32 PM |
| What is your wife's shoe size? Please do not forget to send pictures not only with black soles. Pictures shot on gravel and other difficult terrains are valuable too. |
| Posted by: AlteredDominant Jun 14 2015, 03:05 PM |
| http://idontwear.shoes/new-blog-avenue/2015/6/14/vyywvsq0jovw61pfx28e4xwg6d3er2 Sorry for the shitty cell-phone pics, but DSLRs draw a lot of attention in restaurants. |
| Posted by: DBF Jun 14 2015, 03:45 PM |
| Try a Sony NEX, there are several models.These are small and have tilting lcd screens which means the camera can be used from a variety of deceptive angles. If you use a pancake lens , you have a very discreet camera. |
| Posted by: AlteredDominant Jun 14 2015, 05:21 PM | ||
The Sony NEX is on my list! I've wanted one since they came out. I know a lot of photographers have stopped using the bigger DSLRs like the Canon 5-Ds in favor of them. There are also some nice micro 4/3rds I'm considering. |
| Posted by: e350ln Jun 14 2015, 06:53 PM |
| The quality of these photos is not so bad as you consider. Pictures taken by my cellphone are not better than yours, but I do not worry about it. I see no sense in photos larger than 3 Mpix. You gave no answer about her shoe size. Is it about 7US/37.5EU ? Do her feet feel cold on cold tile floor in grocery stores? I guess that such floor is very cold, especially near refrigerators. Can your wife stand on it during a long time? It is a pity that your wife has not made her feet dirty, but please post a close-up photo of her feet immediately after walk. I am interesting how her tender skin looks after long day. |
| Posted by: Anchor Fan Jun 14 2015, 07:06 PM |
| Thanks for more great photos. |
| Posted by: DBF Jun 14 2015, 07:54 PM | ||
Get NEX, micro 4\3rds has a smaller sensor where as NEX has a DSLR -APS-C size sensor, the main reason I recommend the NEX is the tilting LCD which is important when you don't want everyone to know you are taking a picture. |

| Cool, another epic barefoot day of the dazzling Diminished Harmony (so is her name indeed Cleo? so nice name of a so nice girl). Why should anyone oblige anybody to wear shoes (maybe if in work, though being self-employed, no boss should be harassing her)? So going for a tinier cam with still so whopping resolution as your initial current one so that you would be able to take stunning pics in a more discreet way? Nevertheless, though not as huge as the actual cam, but still, your phone can take good pictures, my eternal complaint is just about the "I Don't Wear Shoes"' server killing the quality so dramatically, even the shots via your Canon, per example the " Summer Street Fair" shots, are super reduced to a mere 1.5 MP instead of the actual 15 MP (even if you had to go down to 10 or 12 MP due to having to zoom-in, still way way better than the poor 1.5 MP). This is the reason I keep asking you to keep posting the images in Flickr too. Go figure, even in some pay-sites, to save web-space, they kill the quality, per example Southern-Charms I got a membership in it for while few years ago (on top of that, they somehow rip up off, no matter if my credit cart is in $, the membership is 15 $ which is 22 500 L.L., instead of simply immediately directly billing me 15 $, they charged me 24 000 L.L. which is 16 $, which lead to "stealing" 1 $). Anyway, though still free for the moments, Flickr way better than idontwear.shoes We are looking forwards to as many stunning barefoot journeys as the sweet Diminished Harmony would be willing to share in cool blogs and cool pics, and we especially hope she would come back among us here, to talk with us as she used to. |

Maybe Cleo has a dry feet and the dust doesn't stick to them. It's desirable but not necessary to make clean feet dirty. Let Cleo does her usual everyday work and don't pay attention to the feet or surface under them. Why your local moms force their daughters to wear shoes if your town so clean? Could you guess how beautiful would be girl's feet if let her to be always barefooted from the beginning of her life? |
| Posted by: e350ln Jun 14 2015, 08:21 PM | ||
What is the strange color? Like this pic was shot in 60's - 70's ? Maybe it is an artistic effect? |
| Posted by: e350ln Jun 14 2015, 08:27 PM |
| Does she feel a disgust during visiting a public toilets? How does she come to your friends' apartments barefooted? Maybe it would be necessary to wipe the feet with a wet cloth? Thank you very much. Could you upload any videos? Especially with walking on gravel or other similar sharp surface? |
| Posted by: e350ln Jun 14 2015, 08:34 PM |
Do you like your wife dressed like one of those girls?  |
| Posted by: NFH Jun 14 2015, 08:44 PM | ||
Thank you |
| Posted by: DiminishedHarmony Jun 14 2015, 10:14 PM |
| Hey everyone! Thanks so much for all the kind words. You don't know how much it means to me! Yes, I'm between a 6.5 and 7 US. As for specific shots, I leave all that genius up to Altered Dominant. He takes and edits the photos, he calls the shots! As for visiting peoples homes, I've not had any issues. Thanks again! Cleo |

What is this photo and where did it come from? A bizarre and interesting find! |

Hi so lovely Cleo, I bet you are as amazing as the amazing Cleopatra if not way more. As much as we enjoy so much your photos, they are nothing without your kind words and communications with us. |
| Posted by: e350ln Jun 15 2015, 04:39 PM |
| Dear Cleo! How cold for you is the tile floor, for example, in grocery stores? I guess that such floor is very cold, especially near refrigerators. Can you stand on it during a long time? |

Beautiful shot ! I really like the eye level angle-POV which is great in terms of detail and scale. |

We hope for zillions and gazillions of updates |
| Posted by: e350ln Jun 19 2015, 06:31 PM |
| I like theme and composition of these pics, but I don't like this color effect. 15 MPix pics are not needed (except the close-up photo of her soles), 2-3 Mpix is good enough. |
| Posted by: NFH Jun 21 2015, 09:05 PM |
| Are you musicians so that you picked these screen names? I don't know anything at all what's so ever about music, just a quick Googling lead me to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diminished_triad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altered_chord Anyway, thanks for all the cool blogs and pix, we would be so happy so grateful with as many as you would add. |
| Posted by: AlteredDominant Jun 22 2015, 07:22 PM | ||
Very astute observation! I'm a jazz guitarist. I've been playing guitar for 30 years. Altered Dominant is the weird chord/scale that makes certain types of jazz sound tense and "outside" instead of laid back and pretty. |
| Posted by: DG2001 Jun 23 2015, 04:34 AM | ||
I wonder if she could climb such metal stairs outside, at noon, under the sun in the Summer.... |
| Posted by: NFH Jun 25 2015, 07:03 PM | ||
All this is Chinese or Turk or "Martian" or any foreign/alien language for me only understanding French and English and Arabic (Arabic is even more difficult for me than the other two, it is a written language, so different than Lebanese which it a slang oral one), but nevertheless, amazing, you are so talented. What about the amazing Cleo? Is she also a musician or singer (I only commented his posts on another board, but http://forum.city-feet.com/index.php/showuser.1936 posts a lot of http://forum.city-feet.com/index.php/showtopic.5165, we missed his posts, though he is still updating his epic https://www.flickr.com/photos/104067269@N08/ not so far from 2500 pix now, and if the dazzling Cleo would sing or play any musical instrument while barefoot, that would be neat)? |

Happy Birthday  May we also know when is Cleo's ? |
| Posted by: DiminishedHarmony Jun 29 2015, 10:36 PM |
| Sadly, I'm not the musician that AD is! I have to get my fill begging him to play for me every day. My birthday is in September. Maybe we can do something fun for that too! |
| Posted by: NFH Jun 30 2015, 06:11 PM | ||
Musician or not, you make grounds sing of joy under your feet, plus, I bet he would be actually begging you more to touch your feet, to rub them and give you ALL the TLC you deserve. May we know both your exactly exact birthdays? Anyway, birthday or not, we hope to enjoy seeing you having fun 24/7, no need for any special occasion to adore you. |

The two photos contrasting your feet as they were and are now is great. One can see how your feet have gotten tougher. In particular, your big toe is developing the callus that seems to be the signature of full-time barefooters. If you look at some Toes-In-Action models who are full-time barefooters (Celeste, my favorite, comes to mind), you'll see some really tough toes. |

| How do you get on your website now as it's asking for a password? |
| Posted by: orez3135 Jul 10 2015, 03:56 PM |
| Yes, I have been greatly enjoying and admiring Cleo's pictures and stories. Please let us know how to continue to get access (at least those of us who are respectful and well-behaved!) |
| Posted by: NFH Jul 10 2015, 04:29 PM |
| Though I always asked about pix via your Flickr page because IDontWearShoes kills their size, and I am lazy to read, but I still hope to be able to access both pages, so interesting blogs I am so overdue to read, and some of the hottest barefooting images of one of the hottest beauties it would be a pity to miss. Indeed as orez3135 suggested, if you prefer to only allow the persons that never harmed you to be allowed to access the stories and photos, that would be great, I hope I would be among these fortunate guys. Or is it a temp glitch to be fixed? Previously https://idontwearshoes.squarespace.com/ asked for a password while http://idontwear.shoes/ didn't (or it says 429 Too Many Requests xpbLjDTs/18DKLPY2), now, with or without that squarespace, we keep being asked for a password. |

| Sadly, Altered Dominant and I are no longer seeing each other. The website and photos are his creative property, so I'm not sure what he'll decide to do with those. I want to thank everyone for being so wonderful, encouraging and kind. |
| Posted by: NFH Jul 14 2015, 09:44 PM | ||
How could he ever let go such priceless jewel as you are a perfect gem? We wish you both the best of luck in your decisions and lives, though we would like not to miss you ever. If there would be a new love in your live, it would be the best, and if for some reason not, we would still appreciate it if you could find a way to share new shots not necessarily in his site, whoever the photographer would be, with of course cool blogs and great news we cherish even more than any fetish. |

What a fantastic photo! Can you tell me where it's from? |
| Posted by: Anchor Fan Jul 15 2015, 06:37 AM |
| That really is sad news. I hope you will both be ok. Thanks for the photos you shared. |

Happy to report that this is a secondary school in New Zealand, and the presentation is something to do with Microsoft. In fact the accompanying article makes no mention of barefooting at all! |
