A word to the wise:

[conuly]

Healthy feet don't smell. Feet smell because they're kept in dark, damp, enclosed spaces. Your hands would smell too if you kept them in gloves all the time!

Healthy feet don't hurt either. Feet only hurt when there is something wrong - often the result of being kept in tight enclosed spaces with no ability to move.

With a small number of exceptions, it is safe to say that bare feet = healthy feet.

I like barefeet at home.
I wear my splints(& therefore shoes) when I go out because 1. a lot of walking without splints is hard on my back and I walk more oddly on artificial surfaces for some reason.

If I didn't have a talipes foot and the associated problems I'd go barefoot even more than I do now.
