Barefooting walking, more than an activity in itself, is a lifestyle, a true philosophy based on direct contact with nature. The term barefooting comes from the word 'barefoot', meaning "without shoes". However, on reflection, it is not an invention at all, but a return to man's origins.
In fact, going back hundreds of thousands of years, we can say that primitive men walked barefoot with nothing between them and their environment. This is where the concept behind barefooting comes from: rediscovering the authentic connection with nature that humans have been losing over thousands of years of evolution and progress.
