Going barefoot is not for me

Many years ago, I ran the marathon with a clergyman from my church. We had been training together during our practice long runs. A few years ago, I met him at a social function and he told me he had been running barefoot. When I tried to run barefoot, I found that I could not go for more than a few metres. I do try to take the garbage out without shoes but that's about all I can do. 

But in many of my posts, I appear barefoot. It may give the wrong impression that I can hike barefoot. I can't. I received a lot of messages after my last post as to whether I could now hike barefoot. I only took off my shoes for that pic. But when I hike or walk, my feet are always shod. This is a pic taken at the same hike I did in my last post and of course I had my shoes on. There are those who can walk barefoot and there are those who can't. I can't.
