Folks,

I think you know that when I speak about barefooting toughness, I speak for real.
If you don't, ... no problem.

However, until some minutes ago I think my girlfriend was the only girl in the .... civilized world able to move on a stony path EXACTLY AS SHE WOULD BE SHOD.

She's not... the only one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=FLPEAOlo...ayer_detailpage

Never on the www appeared something similar. We're a little bit stunned.
We immediately bought the entire clip, and.... well, we're stunned.

That path is not among the HARDEST, ok.

Elsa by Toes In Action, the toughest we've found until... yesterday, challenged harder terrains in her clips.

But that path .... is stony!
And THAT GIRL DOES NOT, NOT EVEN MINIMALLY, .... realize that.
She's on a grass carpet.

Stunning.

Like me

A part from the fighting scene (here we speak about the feet...),if the girls practice seriously martial art from many years she must have tough soles,because they practice barefeet and train to hit with barefeet,progressively harder.
Also,for reach to break bricks with barefeet they also have to "adapt" tendons,ligaments and bones, because the only callous is not enough...(obviously the technique is very important).

You know, Clipper ... it's an interesting point of view, but indeed martial artists have an incredible pain treshold in the UPPER (!) part of the foot: they're able to hit foes' bodies (and sometimes bricks too) with instep, dorsum and toes.

So their toughness is in BONES.

I personally know only ONE female martial artist interested in barefooting. Or rather HIGHLY passionate about her own barefooting capability.
She consider herself an high-level barefooter, instead, despite she can kick barefoot a tree several times without vacillating (!!!!!!!), she's an average barefooter on stones. Maybe even less.
I made a lot of km to personally meet her one year ago, and when I took her right bare foot in my hands and challenged her, I put her in dire troubles with a simple hold in the soft arch, with one hand (!).
I did it twice, and as the second time she had been able to resist (moaning in pain!), she fiercely told me some hours later "have you seen?, the first attack took me by surprise, but the second one didn't got me beaten", with a very proud attitude.
I didn't revealed her that ..... it was a simple hold, even if I sunk my thumb in the soft arch. My girlfriend wouldn't have felt it even if I did ... with a thumbtack stuck on my thumb. But a "normal" barefooter too, would have not felt it at all.
Instead, she felt a lot of pain, despite she..... can kick a tree barefoot, as I wrote above (she showed me).

The girl of the clip, instead, made something I've never seen on WWW: those stones are not hard ones, but however she simply doesn't "feel" them at all!!!!!
Looking at the entire clip (I bought it) at a certain point she RUNS (!): a short run, ok .... only the first steps are made on stones, ok ..... but it seems she's on a fitted carpet.


Never seen around here. We've seen a lot of interesting barefooters on those web pages through the years, but none of them ever showed us the capability to stay barefoot on stones ESACTLY AS IF SHE WAS SHOD.

The girl you are talking about is a really good kicker (I've seen other videos with her) but her feet don't look super tough to me (I'm no expert).

Pics below:

pic 2

So in her case it must be martial arts training + high resistance to pain I quess... Nothing else comes to mind.

baraneks666, being an expert or not, what that girl does in that clip is almost unseen in the entire web

she moves on that (pretty sharp!) gravel EXACTLY LIKE SHE WAS SHOD

ANY barefooter ever appeared on ANY www page showing this matter, ALWAYS showed pain. More or less. But always in a visible way.

There are two exceptions (not considering this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L9hp8uHkRg because it's much easier than one can think, and nothing else Sierra showed us to understand if she's tough for real):

- Elsa from Toes in Action, in her incredible clip where she (involountary) ridiculized another tough barefooter (Nora), leaving her unsteady when not even on her knees http://img546.imageshack.us/slideshow/webp...id=57224663.jpg and wondering with a smile "how can she do it?"

- my girlfriend in the small and poor clips I've posted on her youtube channel



No one else ever went barefoot on gravel THAT WAY.

And I've bought the entire clip: what I've seen is hard to be believed. Through the whole clip, STONES UNDER BARE FEET DOES NOT EXIST for that girl.

I hope my post won't be considered as thread necromancy.

The above mentioned tough girl strikes again - this time with much force.
Below is the link to 2+ minute long preview - some interesting stuff, but many things were omitted:
Taekwondo girl breaks stuff preview

Short review of "full" version.
This time this tough girl dressed in taekwondo uniform effortlessly breaks a coconut with a single stomp, and smashes various things with kicks: apples, a watermelon, a flowerpot and even a coconut !!! - after many painful and failed tries. If someone is a fan of tough girls doing marital arts like myself he should definitely like it.
As for purely barefooting side - there is some of it as she initially walks around and performs kicks barefooted on a somewhat rocky dirt road on the edge of a forest, and there are some closeups of her feet cute, dirty feet during warm-up, training kicks and after performing breaks. Still, this video focuses on the martial arts not barefooting and sometimes I wish that cameramen would film the lower areas more...

P.S.
I just wonder how well this girl would do in "traditional" barefooting on tough terrain. My guess is that she would do quite well, but not as good as Cecilia and other hardcore barefooters.

Nice and impressive video,thanks !

But martial art skills are different thing from 24/7/ barefooting.

Notice that the girls :

- for the most part of the training hit with the top of the feet (that became red/scourged),
and normally barefooters do not develop leather callous on top but on the soles

- for do this type of exercise (a like of breaking tecnics) is required to have not only strong feet but also strong leg,knee,calf,develop balance,power and speed

Is all another type of things : more difficoult.

I fully agree : the girls in the video of sure does not have the soles toughness and endurance of Cecilia,and viceversa Cecilia does not have martial art skill : as said before are two different things.

Hard barefooting can be the start point for feet training on martial arts,but is not enough...

Of course you are right, I have never claimed otherwise.

It probably depends on trained style and personal preferences as well. For example in TKD ITF most breaks during competitions are made with parts of the sole. In case of above mentioned clip my wild guess is that the girl used kick with a top of her foot because it's both powerful and very precise - that way risk of hitting tree was minimal...

[QUOTE]the girls in the video of sure does not have the soles toughness and endurance of Cecilia[QUOTE]

No doubt about that. But still, she appears to be doing very well - small stones doesn't seem to bother her much and she it appears she doesn’t look where she steps... Imho she has a big potential.

... guys, from time to time it seems - said with all of my respect - that you do not use EYES, when you evaluate a barefooter, but only heart and dreams ...

Dear friends, as you know I am not an expert of hardcore barefooting.. in these years I've mostly focused on barefoot glamour and dirty feet fetish photo-videography (with decent results? ).

Yet it's no secret that I love extreme female barefooting: I was PRESENT at that famous barefoot race on gravel between Nora and Elsa, and I really could not believe my eyes!!!

In autumn 2008 I started taking videos with my old camera.. it was mainly for my pleasure and the quality was quite crappy, but as I found them fun to watch I decided to share some of them first on MySpace

The Feetosopher's video channel on MySpace

and then on YouTube, where I still upload some videos from time to time..

The Feetosopher's video channel on YouTube

Seeing the greatest experts in the field of extreme female barefooting all clustered here (with the exception of my dear amigo DG_2001 ), I cannot but kindly request an ASSESSMENT by them!!!
I've just uploaded an "oldie but goodie" VIDEO of my (sadly retired! ) glamour/fetish supermodel VIOLACEA tackling at speed a rough gravel path in a garden in Venice (Italy).. (sorry for the shitty quality!!!)

VIDEO: VIOLACEA's FAST WALK ON SHARP GRAVEL

Now my question is:

"IN A SCALE BETWEEN 0 (tenderfoot) and 10 (diamond-soled), HOW WOULD YOU RANK VIOLACEA's "GRAVEL-TACKLING CAPABILITY"?"

MANY THANKS, GENTLEMEN!!!

Impressive, Feetosopher.
Impressive.

Impressive.

She takes just one hard blow able to hurt her. It's at 0:34, in the right one. Her right knee bends, and the pain must be great, because she slows despite having found a not-stony part of the path. Then at 0:44 there's not an easy way out, and she evidently have not recovered enough. So she chooses the sidewalk...

But ... those ten seconds apart, I've seen only one girl in my life doing it at the same speed. But I'm sure they could be TWO: Elsa from T.I.A. too, could, if she try, I'm sure.

Nobody else.

Impressive.

8 and 1/2.

Hello there my friend.. many thanks for taking the time to deliver one of your customary, ultra-accurate reviews for my humble video!!!

Well, I am happy that you agree on the fact that VIOLACEA's toughness as a barefooter is quite unusual for a glamour/fetish model (as I have always said, none of my BAREFOOT URBAN GIRLS is an extreme barefooting practitioner).

Sadly all the toughest barefooters in my model roster (VIOLACEA, SELENE, IRIE, GIORGIA, ARIANNA, PAPRIKA.. to name the most popular ones) have retired from modelling.. yet I am trying to organise (for the next spring I hope) a special "encore event" where MANY (hopefully ALL) the MOST HARDCORE BAREFOOT URBAN GIRLS OF THE PAST will deliver some NO-NONSENSE BAREFOOTING ON HARSH TERRAIN!!!

Let's hope that my efforts in this respect will be rewarded!!!

Many thanks again for your review!!! Ciao!!!

P.S. just one minor remark.. the kickboxing girl in your original post deffo boasts a pair of massive all-natural boobies.. in my modest (and biased!!! ) opinion, the video would have been much more exciting if she had unleashed them.. WOW, just fancy her mauling with her tough feet that poor aggressor, with her huge floppers swaying around like crazy pendulums!!!

I think 8 and 1/2 too.

Very bad notice !

You have to try to recover them...

I hope so,it will be great,and also I hope before the next spring

Of sure

Many thanks for the assessment!!!
I will do my best to convince at least some of the girls I mentioned to model for me again.. but it might be difficult.. you know, years pass, and the girls of yesterday are the women of today.. with husbands, and sometimes kids to care about.. and with little or no time for posing!!!
I think it will be difficult to plan the event I mentioned before next spring.. grouping 5 or 6 ex-models in a single occasion it's gonna be a challenge.. but I'll try my best!!!
CHEERS!!!

Feetosopher, do it in LATE spring, if you can, and if you want.

And, if the fate will have weaved its web in the right direction, you will have, whether desired, the toughest barefooter alive as guest star.
