Thank you very much for the compliment, I think she has beautiful feet and I love to take her out and watch other men notice them with envy. Actually in that photo her feet are in snow and ice, she has great tolerance for extreme temperatures and I try to take advantage of that, although I'm sure she would have no trouble with broken glass also. As for a burning cigarette, I am certain it would not be a problem, she actually stepped on a burning cigarette accidentally last year while walking barefoot on the hot asphalt at a car show and hardly noticed......however, neither of us smoke.

She sounds very impressive She's a great gal..and you're a lucky guy. Thanks for sharing
Since she likes to test her ability. Maybe she can make an "extreme" series sorta
like Cecilia is doing.
Black soles walking on sharp stones, glass and you could get some cigars or cigarettes just for the demonstration.
I am sure she'd have a great following.
Even a video series, since she goes everwhere barefoot, and run updates like
Polina and Cecilia do while there's is still nice weather here in the states.

Thank you again, yes she is wonderful to me, as a matter of fact, she only goes barefoot so much because she knows I enjoy it not because she doesn't like shoes. So although she has become somewhat accustomed to the attention she attracts, she doesn't enjoy it as much as I do. She tells me that she is barefoot for me and she wants me to enjoy it but she is opposed to the additional attention that a camera attracts, so in public I try to be careful to honor her wish since she is so good to me. However, I am hoping for some private photo opportunities this fall and winter, indoors and out, weather is not an issue and I will b happy to share with you whatever photos I am able to get. We are planning an 80 mile overnight bike trip in October, barefoot of course and possibly another zoo trip or theme park around Halloween. And we have been discussing a private cabin in the mountains in the winter and she has agreed, no shoes allowed for me to fulfill any fantasies I desire with her......but I must confess, I truly admire Hal and Paul and these other photographers who are able to take such wonderful pictures to share weigh us, because when she is submitting to me like that, I am sorry, but taking pictures to share with you guys is the last thing on my mind. We are taking a cruise in September and I told her she could take her barefoot sandals....keep you posted .....

Well, we are back from our cruise and unfortunately I had to purchase a cheap pair of flip flops on the island for my wife. The heat on the islands was making the asphalt blistering hot even for her tough soles and I didn't want to ruin our trip because she couldn't walk. She still gave me lots of barefoot time including 1 day where we walked the beach and coastline for about 5 miles and we were forced to travel streets and sidewalks to continue. During this walk she picked up a piece of broken glass in her foot on 1 of the sidewalks that was covered in glass and debris. She had no shoes with her at all. Last night we had a barefoot evening out where she ia not allowed any shoes no matter where we go. It was a cool fall evening so I decided on a trip to the local park, followed by dinner at a nearby restaurant and then a movie. About 5 hours total. I was able to take a few shots with my phone at the park, not the greatest quality, but I hope you can enjoy. Check out photos on my Flicker page....... My WebpageMy WebpageMy Webpage

Great pics!

Thank you, again, I apologize for my difficulty in posting links and the quality of the pics my phone provides and I truly appreciate your comment. As I said, my wife does not like to draw the attention that a camera brings in public, although she doesn't seem to mind that people notice she is barefoot. I guess the difference is simly a lifestye choice as opposed to exibitionist. I do hope, however, sometime soon, as the weather becomes colder to do a private outdoor shoot with a good camera. She is preparing herself for the colder weather to come by gradually acclimating her little bare feet. Again we made another barefoot evening out last night. The weather was worse than before, 48 degrees F and raining. We were out for about 3 hours, cold, wet, dirty feet. Lovely.
