Here is a video I made a few years ago. So Lori modeled for me and is 22 years old and the artsy type. She showed up in tight jeans that were tight around her ankle. I like that as it makes the barefeet really stand out. When girls wear baggy longer jeans, sometimes the jeans drag and hide most of the feet.

I took some video of the soles before the barefoot walk in the library. If you do not like soles, jump ahead past 2 minutes. Then she goes barefoot throughout the library - I told her to leave her shoes behind but to carry her purse. At the end of video she show her soles after barefooting.

Here are thumbnails:




and here is the link to the video:

When she started barefooting she stopped and looked at her soles. She said "these floors are very dirty" and proceeded to wipe her feet. I told her that is OK and I want "barefoot" soles. So she understood and started grinding her feet into floors to get them dirty again. I told her no worries and no need to grind - she was new to barefoot modeling!

Really nice.

How did you find your models. Was she a student or professional. Does it cost you a lot of money to hire models

Really nice vid

Well done and thanks for sharing

Hi. She was a college student. I put an ad online and we emailed each other. She was very curious and enthusiastic to try. The amount of money spent going out to eat on a weekend can get me a fun photosession instead. I recommend you try it!

Did anyone at the library say anything to her, or you, about her bare feet?
Nice video!

Great video, thanks a lot for sharing! I am sure it was a magical moment. It is great to make magic happen, well done!

Thanks a lot for sharing, she looks great! Maybe you can ask her to walk barefoot through the city?

Thanks DG. I am glad you like the video. I enjoyed the experience because I usually watch videos rather than make them!

Hi. The library was enormous so it was rather private and no one really noticed. We went down a hallway and hit an area where there were a ton of students studying. She was a little shy about the social convention so we turned around in another direction. She did not want so many people to see her in her barefeet with no shoes in site! Not a barefooter yet and perhaps disappointing by our standards but sort of thrilling to see a girl do this for the first time while going against the social convention.

Hal, yes I definitely prefer barefooting through the city as it is much more daring.
Unfortunately I do not live near her anymore but when I find another model I'll be pushing for a walk through a city. I did a video of two girls walking barefoot through an indoor mall as well as the parking lot which I'll post in the future when I get to editing the video.

The cold winter is coming ahead so I thought I'd posts some things I am working on until spring comes again! Sometimes I need to go and hire a barefoot model. The reason is sometimes you just want to see barefooting in public right away - and not wait to stumble upon it. After some search I found 18 year old Tricia. She sent these pics via email and I was onboard to film her after seeing them:

And here is the video. As she did not know me, she also brought her older stepsister Cammy. It was a plus because I got a two for one and she was quite friendly. These girls had absolutely no fear about going barefoot in the mall and in public. Tricia often goes barefoot for dance. Cammy was raised on the farm and she said she went barefoot there - the prickers were the worst according to her. Tricia is a great singer don't you think? She looks a little like Kirsten Dunst don't you think?

And here are some miscellaneous pics:

Well done jwdf88!!! It's great to make things happen instead of just consuming videos and pictures others made. Thanks a lot for sharing!!! I am sure you had lots of fun.

Cool video and nice girls, many thanks for sharing!
From what I've heard, the acceptance of barefooting in public places in the USA is "less satisfactory" than here in Europe.. is it the same also in the place where you took the video? If yes.. BRAVO to the girls for their daring barefoot stroll in the mall!

Well amigo.. if everybody grabbed a camera, made his/her own pics & vids, and quit "consuming videos and pictures others made".. me, Hal Heaven, Pavel, Arnaud Ferrand etc. would be forced to quit our businesses.. and go grow veggies (to avoid starvation)!

Yes sometimes getting out and away from the computer can be really fun!
