[–] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 years ago (5 children) I have walked several hundred miles barefoot over the past two years. Only thing ive stepped on was a tiny poiny rock. Easy to pull out. A wild trick i use: my eyes. And look where i place my feet. permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website [S] 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) Do you worry about picking anything up? Like hookworms or athletes foot, or anything? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 years ago going barefoot will make fungal infections all but impossible since they want a warm moist enclosed space to grow in. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years ago Maybe consider writing an article about how to do it safely, otherwise if the best Ive got is an idiot at Forbes and some brilliant but crazy ultrarunner, and there's no middle ground? Yeah I'm never trying it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) At this point my soles are so thick that i can't even pierce them with a sewing needle, i'm vastly more worried about stepping hard on a pebble and getting a blister than any sort of puncturing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Steeve@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I bet I could pierce them with a sewing needle permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Theory: You can pierce anything with a needle if you push hard enough. I say we test it out on their foot. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DrMango@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago You probably don't walk around barefoot in a major population center I'm guessing? I'm also plenty comfy walking around my suburban neighborhoods and nature trails barefoot but you better believe I'm putting shoes on in the city areas. Even if you don't step on something dangerous those streets are extra filthy permalink fedilink source parent [–] idiomaddict@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) I can’t see anywhere near that well. Can everyone? I might need new glasses permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) With glasses correcting vision to the degree they are intended to, you should be able to see individual leaves on a tree 1km away. That's generally my test for if I need to go in and get my prescription updated. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] idiomaddict@feddit.de 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) That’s just never going to happen, lol. I will talk to my doctor though, thanks permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (1 child) When they are doing the "which looks better?" part, take your time, don't let them make you feel rushed. When I was younger we didn't have much money, so we had to go to the eye care place inside the local wal-mart. They always made you feel like you were wasting their time, cuz they book too many people. My prescription was never great as a kid. When I finally got my own money and went to a decent eye place with up to date equipment and no rush, the prescription I got then, and ever since have been literally miles ahead of the wal-mart crap. My vision was worth the extra 10 dollars and additional 5 minutes. It's a pretty important sense. (Sorry to those who lack the option of sight, but I imagine even you guys have to feel bad for someone that could see perfectly, but has just never gotten the opportunity to). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] idiomaddict@feddit.de 1 point 2 years ago Thank you.
