I've been a member more of the time than not, since this site started. Updates have been reduced to once a week now, and I can imagine why this is being done, particularly considering the amount of content in the site today.

Who agrees with me? There should be another site, which doesn't have the older updates, which is updated much more frequently.

How about cost... for me, I'm willing to pay premium bucks for good content.

Or, there should be a custom video option.

Thoughts?

Well, I think the site is fine as it is because it can be great to re visit the old stuff.

What i would say is that the tone and style of the content could do with being more VARIED.

The vast majority of the soots feature girls in their early twenties, casually dressed either alone or with a frind doing fairly aimless stuff around the city.

I'd like to see this varied with

- older models

- smarter dress (dresses, make-up - doll it up a bit, a bit more glamourous)

- one girl barefoot amongst non barefoot mixed company

- shoots with an apparent aim to them e.g. 'four friends go out to a nightclub for the evening' with ONE of the girls / women barefoot

- different times of day

- scenes where the barefoot girl drives a car

- more cigarette extinguishing barefoot (I know this occasionally happens now but the more the better)

- more use made of alcohol to suggest a reckless and slightly out of control feel to the shoots (typically British you might think)

So, yes, in all still the best barefoot site on the web but shake it up a bit.

Ted.

Interesting concept,
And I sorta agree. Daytime shoots are better though, better clarity.
Travel is a good topic, but walking on flat pavement with medium dirty soles gets old. The one with 3 ladies but the one in the white shirts stop to put a cigarette out really added something. Or when they get run or jump on gravel.
Get creative with the travel,,like back when Oksana worked on her motorbike. Maybe a trip to a junk yard or garage. Go hiking and get back to the extreme series.
The last update with Nina was good, and to finally see her walk on gravel especially as effortlessly as she did it was great, but what happened to her trademark? Putting out cigarettes even though in the stills she had 3 in different area's?
Jenya is great, she seems to add a cigarette part to each update. After all the years of watching her, that was the only thing she hadnt done, and now its taken it to a new level. I cant wait till the next one to see what she'll do next.
Does anybody agree?

I agree. The idea of a pretty girl walking barefoot and somewhat effortlessly on a junk yard is great. I also support the idea of getting back to the extreme series. Some girls like Nina and Jenya have beautiful tough soles, it would be great to put them into endurance test and take them to their limits... and a bit farther.

Paul, City Feet is, by far, the best Barefoot Girls website all over the web. Please, take these comments not as a critic, but as suggestions. Russian girls rock!

Yes, Paul this site is great, the best on the web. I was expressing what I'd like to see. A lot of the girls bring back many memories because I've always dated barefooters. The girls who went on a road in a semi for weeks barefoot thru everything you emagine, the gal I knew who was walking down the side of the road in the gravel to go the junk with friend to fix his car and she wore long jeans so she could do it barefoot. The barefoot girl I saw in store with her mother, I start talking to her. Her soles were the blackest I've ever seen. Once outside I watched as she smoked a cigarette and put it out barefoot. I asked her the all the broken glass around, ( there was broken bottles all around the bases of the light poles where we were walking) she just lifted her foot and showed her soles and said "I haven't found a peice sharp enough yet to cut them" And she ment she'd never been cut. Theses are all real life barefooters, and I like to see more like episodes. They're not extreme fantacies just suggestions from what I know as real life stories.

I'm suprised nobody's saying anything about the very obvious fact this site's updates are occurring less and less frequently. Less than once a week now. That's a sign everybody. Hopefully Paul's got a new plan in mind.

OK, I'll say it, More updates. Its a nice pleasure at the end of the week to see something new. But the weekend is getting stretched out farther and farther. And yes, if not a devoted extreme series, then a little more playfullness during the regular shoots. Nina was great on the horse. But in three stills she had a cigarette. What is Ninas' trade mark? Putting out cigarettes barefoot. Even by the camp fire, she ground them into her heels. But not once did she do it during the horse series, and I was waiting each time. I'll admit, it was a little of a let down. Also, the girl's dont have to have glass waiting for them on a towel. There is plenty of it around in alley's or by dumsters. Find some or a bottle and break it, them play with the broken glass like a everyday barefooter might encounter. Jenya was putting a cigarette into every update, and thats what I was waiting for. To see what she'd do next and how she step it up a notch each time. It made the week wait worth waiting for for me.
Here's an extreme thought,,get 2 together and let each put one out them the other, see who can do it better or let them do it to each other. Let them show off a little. As long as there is no injury.

Hi b'ftlvr2008

I agree with you, I'd love to see the girls walking carelessly on an alley, junkyard, etc. I hope Paul can do such sessions.

About the time the updates are taking... well, I guess the reason is the same one that defeated Napoleon and Hitler... Russian Winter. But I am sure it won't defeat neither Paul nor his sexy Russian City Feet Girls :-)

I think perhaps there may be other reasons for less updates than the winter. Weve seen wonderful evidence in the past that a few incje of freezing snow doesnt stop the girls from proudly showing off their bare feet in the most freezing cold of days. It what makes the site stand out for me. Barefoot everwhere is all wheathers

If you think about it both Paul and his wife contribute far less to the message boards and his lovely wife, who was once happy to show off her feet in snow, public train stations, in muddy puddles and pose with passers by has simply stopped featuring all together

Perhaps they have other things going on in their lives that give them less time for the site

Or perhaps subscriptions are reducing making it harder to produce updates - although one imagines that could be overcome with more dets from Malinka. Those sets always match the mature/smart dress that many have been asking for. Perhaps she is no longer confident to pose, although I cant think why, she is beautiful, elegant and has a wonderful attitude to showing her feet in teh most challenging of cirumstances

Either way it would be nice to know why fewer updates and why less contact from both on the boards

Cheers

Hi Bemused

I understand your concern. Whatever the reasons there might be, I guess it's something personal and concerning Paul only. He, just like you and me, is a person, with his own problems (life's not easy, you know). If he would like to share the reason because Malinika is not appearing anymore neither in pics nor in the forum he would have already done so.

Respectfully, I think we should stop making suppositions and inquiring about Paul's private life. He's created a wonderful website and has made out a respectful business out of his passion. In the meanwhile, he's giving us lots of joy by sharing the pics he takes to his wonderful models. Let's be happy about it. Websites like this one, Toes in Action, Barefootforever, etc. didn't ever exist ten years ago. I know it's not easy to convince a pretty girl to model barefoot in the street, so what Paul, Hal, Arnaud and others are making is amazing. Let's better be thankful for what they have achieved and for what they are sharing. Yes, it has a cost, but those girls deserve a payment for their work so that's the reason a suscription exist. It's a work, a business.

I am sure that, sooner than later, Paul will "reappear" and give us wonderful surprises. Let's just give him the time, I bet he won't disappoint us at all.

Please don't take my comments as insulting or offending, I do not pretend to sound aggressive. English is not my language, thus I cannot express myself as clearly as I'd like to.

Thanks!

Yeah I would have to agree ... The updates on the site are less frequent now . Also , there are some great models on the site we would like to see more of .

For example , Valya , we all know she was the top model on the site at one time ... It would be great to see her back in action . I have seen her on other sites so I guess she might have a busy schedule .

Another model I would like to see more of is Anya , pretty high arched feet . But there are only about 4 videos of her on the site in one sequence .
