There's some variable stuff on this site (RBFeet) but this must surely be one of the finest sequences ever posted? Why?
it's real and not staged
the women are pretty and of mature years
weather's a bit ropey (as ever here in the UK)
some are and some aren't barefoot and it's the contrast between the two that makes it so attractive.

Are we looking at the same set? I don't see mature ladies but very young girls. And I don't think this is in the UK --- it is more likely to be in Russia, if I'm not mistaken.

Apart from that I agree --- nice set, even if I'm not 100% sure about the girls ages (some may be underage?)

Those girls are not Russian. They're Scottish - and it was the Leith Festival (Edinburgh) in 2012. You will find those very same pictures on FlickR.

^ Ah, okay --- thanks for clearing that up. Do you have a link to the Flickr page?

Check out this link I found on youtube.

Look from 2:05 on wards. The girls can be seen barefoot walking past.

Looks like the same girls to me - proof it is not staged.

And check this one

From 2:40

Well found, jwiggum 2002.
Yes, it's plainly Scotland by the signage and the architecture - and the weather, though it looks like this had improved by the time the videos on YouTube were shot.
And Mr Heaven, how can you possibly say these girls are underage? - they're all clearly aged from their mid twenties to their forties with one carrying a child who I take to be her daughter.
would that Paul would recruit some older models - aged 30 at least and do a shoot focussed on them.
Maybe one day..............please?

^ Ok, I had another look at the photos and I guess all the women are above age. I did of course see some of the more mature women (wearing shoes) but the younger barefooted ones looked really young to me. When I posted the comment I had clicked the last photo first and three of the ladies on the right looked like they could be under 18 years of age --- but I guess you're right, they are more likely to be in their early twenties. I guess at my age now I am sometimes pretty bad at guessing the age of young women One of my models (Dasha) is already in her mid-twenties but looks like she could be 16 years of age.

About your request for mature ladies: I would also like to have more mature models on my website but it is very difficult finding women above 30 years of age who are true barefooters. I've only ever seen a handful in my life. It seems to be more of a thing for women below 30 years of age.

A sad but true fact, Hal.
One exception though, is the Christmas party season and weddings where women of all ages are happy to remove their shoes once the DJ starts playing a few 80s dance floor fillers. The great thing about the Xmas party (and New Year party come to that) season is that the weather is cold which makes going barefoot even more attractive - especially when they decide to move outside the venue still without shoes.
Now SURELY that's a theme that Paul could explore...........
It's great to know though that you're on the lookout for more mature models, Hal so good luck with that.

^ Yes, those type of parties are great!
About 15 years ago I sometimes visited these parties in my city called Meera, they would be about 100m from my house. The music totally wasn't my thing but almost all of the people were barefooted and there were loads of mature women between 30-50 years of age (or even higher). Those days the party even had a strict rule that you had to leave your shoes at the front door, so basically everyone was barefooted (the rule was dropped a few years later) and they also walked around in front of the building and on the streets barefooted.

One of my true barefoot models called Lil was already 40 years old when I met her. She was super hardcore --- crushing burning cigs and stuff, and she was always barefooted. Quite a seldom sight for a woman of that age.

Dear Mr. Hal Heaven, I love your photos so much that it’s very difficult for me to write these lines. Yes, it happens even to such a wise person as you, to make a mistake, not to see the main thing for little things. As in that fable (it seems, written by Lafontaine, which every Russian knows in the retelling of Krylov), where one visitor walked for three hours around a museum and examined all the smallest exhibits, down to the smallest flies, but did not notice the elephant. You accidentally saw a small fragment not even of Igor Rezun’s twenty years of creativity, no, but of someone else’s material completely unrelated to him, which he reproduced on his website as an example of a free attitude in the West to barefooting... and you did not notice all the many years of your colleague that works in the same direction as you. Leaving aside his social activities in favor of barefooting, which he combines with a passion for foot fetish (however, he increasingly abandons the first in favor of the second), your artistic methods are identical. Your will see this if you look more closely at his website https://newrbfeet.ru/, photo archives https://newrbfeet.ru/category/arhiv/ and the Facebook pages https://www.facebook.com/groups/906540522764343/ and https://www.facebook.com/igor.rezoon?sk=abo...93%3A1595303826. I hope his bad English doesn’t bother you, he never studied English in his life and uses the Google translator... Rezun is a living person and a vulnerable artist like you, and your indifference hurts him very much.

Mr e358in provides some great links to a site I'm familiar with but find hard to navigate. That said, I'm not entirely sure why he's so offended by Hal Heaven's previous posts. His biggest offence seems to be having mistaken Edinburgh for somewhere in Russia. And he quickly recognised this error when I pointed it out to him.
In his defence, if I tried to compile anything with Google translate I'm sure I'd also commit some howlers too.
I'm a little puzzled it has to be said.
Mike123.

Dear e358ln

thank you very much again, for your long posts and sharing these links and also welcome the forum!

i have to admit, its been ages since i have looked up upon the old RBFEET, but the new site looks much more open and easier to browse through, even without understanding a single word.
and there is tons of free original images for everybody, a gold-mine :-)

do you know, does Igor also make Videos and if yes, where can we find those?

there is whole new parallel world :-) to me it seems, many are simply not aware of the site, because of the language barreers (google also wont place search results, so very hard to find), but also because it became so much more easier and there are already soo many sources where you can get your images/videos, that you dont need to dig as hard as you had to do like 10 or 15 years ago
i still remember, like 15-20 years ago, there were barely any sites that had barefoot in snow pictures, but rbfeet was one of them, that had such

so, thank you very much again for sharing these links, it will take quite some time to get through the tons of material

all the best

Dear Shifter, my goal was to draw attention to the work of my close friend Igor Rezun. And if even only one such great expert on our subject as you (I read often your posts and I always like them) decides to take some time to get through these tons of material, then this goal has been achieved. Thank you for the welcome to the forum, this is really my first contribution. Sorry for my bad English.

This is a gift for you and all the good guys, including Mike123 https://newrbfeet.ru/category/video/ Don't be afraid, neither men who come at you without warning, nor girls who look younger than 18-20 are not here . Rezun is generally not very willing to shoot videos. But your praise will motivate him to work in this direction.

Dear e358ln

thank you very much for your kind words, your initial goal has been certainly achieved! but i also hope you will be staying as an active member of the forum and are contributing to it, sadly, we are such a small group of frequent posters here on the forum, but i feel you are not only a great bridge from the russian culture to the western culture, but also would bring a good mood, i like the voice of your tone in all your posts. and please dont worry, your english is great!

wow, thank you very much, these videos were great, i always have and will have a special love for barefooting in snow!!

wish you all the best and talk to you soon
