Since this subforum is "barefoot memories and impressions", I figure this is a good topic.

I liked bare feet for as long as I can remember, even as a little kid. I remember being 5 or 6 years old and my mom would work out to a TV exercise program, and the women on the program were often barefoot for some of the exercises, and I remember really liking it.

I'm not sure when I discovered I liked dirty feet, but I remember being 13 or 14 and hanging out with neighborhood kids in the summer. One girl often went barefoot around the neighborhood in the summer. One evening, while I was playing basketball in the driveway of one of the kids, she was hanging around after spending the day barefoot. She laughed and commented that her feet were really dirty and then showed us her black foot and even blacker toes. I was amazed by it....

I discovered barefoot hippie girls in college. The liberal, small town I went to school in would have girls walking around barefoot occasionally when it was warm out, and I also attended a jam band show at an indoor arena once. Despite the filthy floors, there were girls dancing and walking around barefoot. One girl a few seats over from me was sitting with her legs crossed and her filthy foot was visible.

I also found that I wasn't alone around then, as I discovered sites like Sweet Street Feet that had photos of barefoot girls with dirty feet.

So my favorite kind are the hippie girls that walk around with no shoes (like Katja and Celeste at Hal's site). I love the dirty feet in combination with the hippie style. I also like bellydancers a lot. You can find occasional videos and photos of bellydancers dancing barefoot in the street or on dirty club floors at places like youtube or flickr.

I also liked bare feet girls when I was a kid.
At about 10/11 years old I already have this passion.

At this age,I not had any internet connection and not had the video recorder,but I search in television programs/films where there was barefoot girls.
I remember that i seen many old country side film,with my grand father and grand mother,even if old born film,because had a lot of barefooting gilrs scene.

Some years later,at about 13/14 years old, I bought a video-recorder and start to record many of this type of film (not all them beacuse vhs were quite expensive yet...).

Unfortunately,in the country where I live,found some gilrs barefooting is almost impossible,a part from the beach,where often thei wear plastic flip flop.

Only one time,I had see a group of 3 very nice girls dancing barefeet, first inside a disco and then out,in the parking of the disco.
I try to make conversation ,and watched their feet ,I remember well that their soles were dirty and very very tough.
The parking of the disco were made of rocks and very sharp gravel,but they danced and jumped over for a very long time ! (with the music coming from inside the disco...)
Speaking I asked them if were afraid of get hurt on feet ?
One replay me "Get Hurt ? I never wear shoes for almost all the year ! I only need
Jack Daniels ! Watch !",and then she show the soles of one feet : were completely callused,the heels was incredibily thick !
I will remember this scene for all my life !

After,I gone to this disco many time,but I never review them.

Katjas the best..she's a natural barefooter, with that movie star beauty about her.

My earliest memory was of two barefoot girls with dirty feet walking into the (now defunct) Alexander's department store in Queens, NY. When I moved to New England from NYC it was very common to see people barefoot in stores, roads, fast food, etc. I mean teens, moms, etc. We weren't allowed to go barefoot in high school, but I do remember a number of girls who had very calloused and dirty soles that could be seen when they propped their feet up from their sandals. When I moved back to NYC I met two ex-girlfriends who were barefooters. We met on the streets in Greenwich Village. One's mom used to be a barefooter before they relocated to the City. She had very calloused soles. She had no problem with our black feet in their somewhat upscale apartment. Suzy liked to stand on my feet with hers if we were in a line at a store or fast food. My tops got black from that!

Too bad that those days seem to be over. Hardly ever do you see anyone barefoot in the Village. Maybe if they remove their shoes to dip their feet in the fountain at Washington Square park or the like, that's about it.

I also have fond memories of Grateful Dead shows. The BEST place to meet other true, hardcore barefooters with tough, filthy feet.

Thanks about the kind words concerning Katja and Celeste.

I´ve been into feet for as long as I can remember....some of my earliest childhood memories (at around age 3-4) are about bare feet.
I went to a school in South Africa and lots of the girls would walk barefoot when the weather was exremely hot...that was probably the brith of my barefoot (and dirty soles) fetish.

I love barefoot girls since I was about 8 years old. A girl neighbour of mine used to spend all the Summer holidays barefoot, playing on the street...she was even well capable to jump the rope barefoot on the coarse, very hot pavement!

Hal

Those girls walked barefoot on extremely hot weather???? WOW!!!! Didn't they burn their soles, did you ever manage to see her soles, feel them?

Lucky memories! Please share some more, if possible, of your South African days...

Years ago I used to see girls go barefoot to the grocery store all the time at this store near the beach where I used to live. The cutest, sexiest girls, and friendly too, would casually go in and leisurely do their shopping, the longer they walked around in the store the dirtier their feet would get...it drove me crazy. Used to be the public libraries didn't care if you went in barefoot, and one day I saw a girl, accompanied by 3 guys in the library studying,,she was barefoot, wearing jeans with one of those scanty tops that just covered a small part of her front, that exposed her entire back..she would go up to the counter to ask for info from the librarian, and would lean against the counter and would alternately expose each sole for long periods.she knew exactly what she was doing...things were so much more casual back then, in stores and librarys...that's what made me a confirmed believer that there's nothing sexier, NOTHING...than a barefoot girl in public.

I've been attracted to feet ever since I was 9 or 10. There wasn't any big incident that caused it, only many "little" ones.
I can remember going to a local folk festival when I was 12 and seeing dozens of barefoot girls walking around. That was back in the early 70's--which shows my age!

I didnt know for a long time my interest in feet was normal. Ive had a fetish since at least age 12. While high with a friend and his gf I came out about my foot fetish.
