Some time ago Sierra, The Barefoot Girl, was asking for some dares to prove us how tough her soles are and what a determined hardcore barefooter she is.

Up to know, as far as I know, the dares are:

Running barefoot and jumping on sharp gravel: Accomplished
Walking, dancing and jumping barefoot on broken glass: Pending
Using her soles as living ashtrays, to put several cigarettes or cigars out on them: Pending
Slowly roasting her soles with a hair dryer, after having them oiled: Pending

Any other suggestions?

In her Facebook Sierra mentioned she's going to make some interview-like videos. This is a great opportunity to interview a real barefooter girl. She's asking for questions that she'll answer in the videos.

I think some interesting ones could be:

How it was that you became a barefooter, and why?
How do you react when people stares at your bare feet?
Have you ever been put to dares before, endurance tests to your soles?

Well, those are some of the questions I can think of now, any other things you would like to ask our favorite Barefoot Girl?

I love barefoot dares. I am into more social dares than supertough feet. I once dared a woman to go into McDonalds barefoot as well as highway reststops (She did). I would like to see her go into McDonalds barefoot. She might not be daring enough though because the sign prohibits it (:

Some dares requested via Facebook:

step on a lit cigarette with your bare heel!
how about a simple food crush---like jelly or a pie or ice cream?
exposing your soles to dry acorns! OUCH
Is going barefoot sexy, a turn-on? Why?

Go barefoot into a nice restaurant.
Go barefoot in a parking garage and see how filthy your soles get.
Go supermarket shopping barefoot.

Barefoot in snow.

barefoot on thumb tacks
barefoot on shattered glass
barefoot on thorns

Go barefoot on the dirtiest, filthiest surface you can find and show the result!

Im more into the social dares.

I would love to see her go for a meal in a posh resteraunt. With her hair done, make up, jewellery, formal dress, and bare feet.

My wife did it for me once, but she was very shy so I only got a couple of pics on the way there. I would love to see a girl as brave as seira finish her meal, then just plonk her bare feet on the table and take a pic right in front of everyone. As if to say, yeah, Im having my bare feet photographed because I am so proud of them, I love showing them off!

I also like soles on table. I think a video diary would be nice too. Here is one I would like to see: Before Sierra leaves the house in the morning she puts her soles on the table (with face in the background) and tells us good morning and shows here clean soles. When she is back for the day, she does another clip with soles on table once again but talks about where she walked that day, how it felt, and how others reacted.

Here are some interview questions I created awhile ago. It's nothing real deep or daring, but they're things I'm curious about when it comes to barefoot ladies.

Did anyone influence you heavily in your fondness for barefooting, or is it just something you came to on your own?

How old were you when you realized you had an unusually strong interest in feet and going barefoot?

Do you think going barefoot can be social? In other words, if one person in a group bares their feet, is it more likely that others will, too?

When friends come to visit you, do they take off their shoes (and socks, if they’re wearing them) to hang out?

Likewise, do you go barefoot when you hang out at friends’ homes?

Do your barefoot habits annoy or bother any of your friends or family members?

What’s the strongest encouragement you ever got for going barefoot?

Has your influence ever convinced anyone else to go barefoot more often?

My girlfriend once promised me she would go to a restaurant barefooted with me. Mind you, I'd never hold her up to that, but it would be great if she did it!
I have a few questions for her:
Have you ever walked barefoot in the mud?
Have you ever gotten into trouble for going barefoot--in a store, for example?
Do you feel that feet are attractive female body parts? And have you ever complimented another girl on her feet?

The questions are really interested, hope that Sierra pays a visit to the forum so that she takes account of them, it would be nice to see a video interview in which she answers the questions and tells us how it is to be a true, hardcore barefooter, to live barefoot most of the time.

Hi

In all seriousness if she promised she would do it, my advice is to very gently encourage her to kick off her shoes off her few times, and ease her into it.

My wife and I have been together 11 years. Its taken a long time for her to get used ti me liking her feet, but over the last few years she has kicked her shoes off a few times when we've been out and in a few months ago after a few drinks I asked her to walk out of the bar still barefoot for the first time

She did it, and was really surprised how exited I got, this culminated in her first ever entire barefoot afternoon out in public.

She looked so nervous but proud of herself when I took her picture outside in her coat, dress and cutest bare feet , and in was so daring, naughty and cute when she actually walked in like that. I live in the UK and it was acold Autumn day

My point is stick with, be subtle, dont force it but encourage her and one day you could be walking into a posh restaurant with a beautiful woman on your arm proudly showing off her bare feet to the world just for you

If I can persuade my wife to do it Im sure you can!

Any more questions to Sierra?

All interesting question,but in total I think that are too many...

I'm afraid that Sierra and the end will be bored by all this good but too many question.

So I will ask to Sierra only a thing : continue to go barefeet everywhere and send us photos and videos about that.

And if she also wants to tell us about her sensation / feeling / soles we will be very very grateful.

Hi!

Most of these dares remained unaccomplished.

Cecilia, do you think you can use this list of dares? I am sure you can do them all, or most of them.

You're our champion :-)
