Over the years, like you, I have watched thousands of videos showing women walking barefoot in a wide variety of situations. And a question gradually came to me: is there a relationship between the shape of the feet (Egyptian foot, square foot, Greek foot) and the greater or lesser ability to walk barefoot on any surface?

The question seems to me all the more relevant in the context of City-feet as most models have probably never practiced this activity before. They are therefore devoid of any previous experience.

From this point of view, I think that all the site's followers are true experts on the subject and I am therefore looking forward to your answers and contributions.

hi Sergei,

Thats an interesting question,
since i got aware of my footfetish around 30 years ago, i have never ever thought about this or will ever thinking of that to be honest.
so i dont think i´m an expert in this matter at all

For me, more important and interesting is the mindset and attitude of the person/model when she walks barefoot

cheers

An interesting question. While I don´t know the first thing about anatomy, I´d say that girls having egyptian feet (long big toes) should find it easier to walk barefoot than girls who were born with greek-shaped feet because their long second toe might tend to get hurt if it´s not protected. But as I said, don ´t quote me on that.

I don't know guys...refer to the great Alyona from 2012..http://www.city-feet.com/models/145/view ...and notice that she has the renowned "Monroe toe"...meaning, she has a longer second toe on both her feet, (like Marilyn Monroe did) and she was one of the most fearless, "bionic" barefoot models of City Feet history. She always seemed very sure of herself, confident and comfortable in the midst of crowds like she was a natural, life long barefooter. Just my observation.

Interesting question.. no clues, frankly speaking.. yet I think that it has more to do with factors like the way in which a girl distributes her weight
on her soles, and the toughness of her soles.. these are related to practice, rather than foot shape.
Plus, as my friend shifter observed, there is the all-important "attitude" factor.. and the capacity of better and better coping with an initial sensation of pain
till pain is not felt anymore.
Most of my models had years of more or less frequent barefooting on their soles at the time of their debut session
(ditto for most TIA models, to my knowledge), so they are probably a non-representative sample.

I agree with that the Feetospher wrote: I guess the most important factors are the toughness and sensitivity of the soles.
We once discussed this topic before (years ago) and I remember writing that one of my early real-life 24/7 hippie barefoot girls (Shirin), who would walk barefoot anywhere in the city and had very tough soles, really had a problem walking over the gravel stones of the deserted railyard. She was very tall and slender (almost skinny) and so were her feet (long, slender), so there might be a connection there.
Surprisingly, some other women (who were only part time barefooters) did not have a problem with the sharp gravel stones and could even run over them.
