Paul, I am a HUGE barefoot in the snow fan and I was curious to know which of the girls has demonstrated the greatest endurance in the snow and cold, which has been barefoot in the snow for the longest continuous time without footwear or warm-up and how long was that and who has endured the coldest temperatures for the longest times and how cold was that? Thank you.

Hi footcrzy,

the girl who has demonstrated the greatest endurance in the snow is Elena. Here is galleries where she was barefoot at -10C (+14F) about 40 min withoutfootwear and warming up:

Thank you Paul, that is awesome. have any of the other girls come close to matching this feat by Elana?

Only Ira, she was barefoot about 30 min non-stop, but the temperature was 0C, so it was not so cold.

Great sets Paul, thanks a lot!

Who's the girl with the toughest, hardes, roughest soles of them all????

I don't know, I didn't touch them

As for Elena's photosession, detailed investigation disclosed that barefoot-on-snow time was only about 23 min. The whole photosession lasted about half an hour, this is mentioned in description for the first gallery.

I'm sorry for inaccuracy in my previous post regarding Elena.


As for Ira, she hadn't put her shoes on from the biginning of third set (was continously barefoot two last sets) and walked barefoot after photosession for some time. So being barefoot about 30 min is true.

Any chance we could have one of the girls break that record this winter? I would love to see Ira beat her own record, both in length of time as well as temperature extreme. What would truly be awesome would be if 3 or 4 of the girls competed to see who had the greatest endurance, she could be declared City-Feet's Snow Queen!

Amazing that Ira stayed barefoot after the shoot-her feet must surely have been numb after that time

Are we due another snow shoot. I would love to see Ira - that set with the male model, the tea rooms and Alenka shopping were my all time favs

What do you think, Paul, could you get a few girls who would compete for City-Feet Snow Queen?

I think most models can't endure snow enough time to participate in competition. The only "Snow Queen" at the moment is Ira.

You should! :-)

The footage of Ira going barefoot in the snow was the best. It was great when she put her gloves on - something about barefoot girls wearing gloves that gets to me

Paul, any chance we'll see another epic with Ira (long barefoot travel or something like that) soon? She rules.
