Some of you may remember this hardcore barefoot hippy beauty from her clip "Gorgeous Barefoot Girl" (==> preview pics and here is a photo), and this time she even has dreadlocks ;-) Janne is the type of girl where being barefoot just comes naturally because she loves to feel the earth or street beneath her naked soles -- and she walks so lightly without shoes that at first you wouldn`t even notice that she is barefooted.

Her latest clip shows her walking barefoot in the city and on that hardcore gravel landscape. I hope you enjoy it


You can see more of Janne at Toes-in-Action Video Clips


Cheers to all of you,

Awww thanks; she's a real star!!

Is she up for a winter set?

Yeah, totally. She just wrote me an email two days ago asking to do a winter set.

This would be my first winter set I´ve ever filmed...so please let me know what you`d like to see. We even have a lot of snow here at the moment.

Cheers,

Obviously her walking in and on snow, also flexing her toes in the snow and enjoying it, and catching the attention of passers-by and their reactions!

BTW also love that her toes are dirty on the tops, and she keeps the same toe-rings and cuffs!

Hal, it is apparent that Janne rarely if ever puts on shoes, does she remain barefoot even in the snow always, or will she be going barefoot just for this photoshoot? I would love to know the temperature on the day of the shoot and the length of time she is able to leave her bare feet exposed to the elements without requiring a break or warm-up, how awesome would it be if she showed up for the set barefoot, without any shoes! Continuous long footage is best with her trudging thru snow and slush, deep puddles filled with ice and snow, and maybe even barefoot ice skating. Would love to see her set a new standard that Ira would be willing to challenge

Is exactly what I asked for !

And only a few day ago...

Magic,wonderful.

Thanks !

I'm going to buy the videos !

I will say more tomorrow...(my connection is quite slow and will require all the night to complete the downloads...)

Those videos seem great for sure!!!

Paul, I wonder if you could find a similar landscape full of debris, stones, gravel, thorny bushes, etc. for your girls....could you???

I just finished to see the videos !

Wonderful !

Is my dream !

Janne walks over rocks and sharp gravel like she was over a carpet !

Now I've not any doubt,she have very tough,strong,hard feet.

You have touched her soles : like they feel like ?

Have you asked her if she sometime feel hurt or nothing ?

Where she live : in Italy I never see barefooter like her....(and I try to find many time).

Super good videos !

Thanks !

Now I hope that some other girls will try the same extreme path.

Some other curiosity about Janne :

she walks barefeet all the year or in the very cold winter she wear something ?

at what age she started barefooting ?

She is an angel! A woman from heaven

Boy do I love dreadlocks with bare feet!

Hal, do you have any idea why Germany has so many more women like Janne, Katja, and Celeste than the US does? Is German society just less uptight about it than the US is? Did you ever ask Janne or Katja or Celeste why they don't wear shoes? Is it a style thing, or are they just more comfortable that way?

Just curious.

Of course she is! An angel from Hal's Heaven! :-)

I will be meeting up on wednesday with Celeste to film in the snow. She said it would be no problem for her to be barefoot in the snow for a long period. Janne said the same thing, but I will only be able to meet up with her early next week and apparently the snow will start melting as the weather is going to turn a little milder (about 2 degrees above Celcius). I´ll have to see if any snow if still on the streets.

I´m pretty excited...this will be my first snow session

Janne`s soles feel greet....nice and tough, but pretty smooth. Not as "sandpaper-like" as some other soles (which is great, too). She walks barefoot a lot...last year in summer I saw her almost daily walking the streets of my suburb...she was either on a bike or on foot. She walks barefoot completely natural...as if she is wearing shoes. I don´t think there are many surfaces that bother or hurt her.

She told me that she only started walking barefoot a couple of years ago (maybe four years)....after school she started working in a theater group for a year and all their performances are done barefoot (mostly girls in the group)...she said that after the rehearsals she didn`t feel like wearing shoes and just continued walking around barefoot.
Tuba (one of my other models) also works in that theater group and she is also constantly barefoot in the streets....and she told me there are at least 4-5 other barefoot girls in that group. Wow!

I also love the combination of dreadlocks and bare feet!

I´ve been asked this question a lot: Why are there so many barefoot girls in Germany?
My first guess is: There are probably also a lot of barefoot girls in neighbouring countries, such as the Netherlands, Begium, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, etc. But it seems like there is no photographer or webmaster there to capture them on film, so we never find out or get to see these women.

But another reason is: The town I live in is very liberal...people here are pretty layed back, there are many students, punks, hippies and relaxed people, most women aren`t terribly obsessed with the latest fashion, and it is very common for girls to walk barefoot. They don`t get harrassed for it, like in some more "conservative" towns or places. It is accepted, tolerated and quite normal....especially in my suburb. I live in the "alternative" part of town. Here most people also don`t ride around in cars...they walk, ride bike or take public transportation...and since I never go by car I get to see a lot of bare feet in summer.

One more reason: The summers here are usually pretty mild. It is quite rare to have really boiling, hot days....so it is quite a perfect climate to walk barefoot. It is not too cold and not too hot. I´m sure in some countries the streets are almost to hot to walk barefoot in summer.
