Very tricky. I never see barefoot ladies during the day apart from near the fountain in Piccadilly (and that is very rare), and at night a flash is required and it draws too much attention to the photographer.

Yes, fair point. It's easier of course to get shots indoors especially in clubs where girls are barefoot. (a very good New Years Eve with some sightings all indoors, though). Simply take random shots and with all the lights flashing there's nothing to pick out your camera flash from the surrounding 'noise'.

I'd be interested to know whether you got any classic sightings on NYE. It was, after all, a very mild night (here in London anyway) and should have been perfect conditions.

If I get any nightclub shots I'll attach them.

Nothing on NYE. It had been raining during the day and quite chilly at night so not much of a surprise.
I think the best time will be summer evenings. In Manchester girls are only seen without shoes when they are leaving clubs not when they are going in, so it could mean a few late nights.
I once heard of a group of girls who were refused entry to a bar because several were wearing trainers. Someone suggested they took off their shoes and go in barefoot but unfortunately they didn't, that would have been excellent.

Hi Steve,
No need to go into night clubs, to find any barefoot girls/women YES it`s
very true that they do like to walk into the street in their barefeet! These
days if you look hard enough, there are plenty of young women and some a bit
older too! who will be very happy to be seen walking around the town centre
in their barefeet and the more people that see them, l probably think the
better! and the old one about the high heels and their sore feet is a pretty
good reason to simply kick their shoes right OFF! and that will mean they,
will stay off for the whole night. So keep a eye out and you will am sure have
no trouble finding them. Summer does help and the warm weather, but any time
of year you will see them, during the winter too. Some just don`t care what
the weather is like.
Regards
