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 agree with you completely. But 20 years ago, in my In-Laws minds and my mom's mind, I was doing something daring and wrong. No one saw bare baby feet, it was like an obsession to stick booties and shoes and stuff on those poor little feet.
