FUCK BOOTS!
THAT'S IT! I'M GOING BATTLEMAGE ON YOU!!
YOUR TIME IS UP, GUNSLINGER!!!
What do you want to do with your life. Will it not allow you to wear "sneakers"?Right, that's my argument. I'm not asking that anybody stop wearing shoes. My argument is that in order to function in a society like the one we live in, I'm forced to wear shoes. Well I could probably get a job as one of those people that walk on coal at the casinos but that's really not what I want to do with my life.
In all seriousness and rationality, I can understand why shoes are really required to function within a modern society. I just wish there was some kind of an outlet for those of us that live by the 'fuck shoes' way of life. Japan has the right idea, but they need to apply it more, socially.I've actually read in some place online that shoes aren't strictly necessary, if you take good care of your feet (cleaning them everyday, using lotion, etc). They also mention a lot of health benefits of going barefoot.
I personally have been known to go barefoot at home, sometimes even in other people's homes if I'm comfortable enough around them. I definitely wouldn't say that it's more comfortable to wear shoes, because it really isn't. What I like about them is the way they look... there are certain clothes (mainly formal) that bare feet just don't "go with." You know what I mean?
I would not be afraid to walk around indoors in a typical building without shoes in casual situations, if it weren't for the stigma of going barefoot. I admit I've occasionally wished that it was normal for people to remove their shoes indoors like it is in Japan. It makes sense to me to wear them outside, but not inside.
I own about 7-9 pairs of shoes for different types of occasions, but not several (there are only 4 I wear regularly, though, so I forget the exact number). I have lighter canvas shoes that I wear in fall and spring, heavier tennis shoes I wear in winter, and flip-flops I wear in the summer. I also have a pair of formal shoes for special occasions, and iron-toed boots in case I'm going somewhere dangerous (my father is a contractor and occasionally brings me out to a job site). That's five types, and I have more than one pair of a few.
Remember, it's easy for you to give up on following social norms, because you're an INTP. In addition to not needing external validation at all, you probably weren't that well-liked to start with, and didn't succeed all that well at ingratiating yourself anyway. So you're not personally giving up much to defenestrate social norms. Some of us would be.
To my shame, my ultimate aspiration in life will require me to wear shoes. This is most unfortunate.What do you want to do with your life. Will it not allow you to wear "sneakers"?
I also dislike shoes tremendously. I wouldn't wear them if I didn't have to, but snow is cold and asphalt gets too hot in the summer. Plus apparently we can collect microscopic parasites with our bare feet so I guess that's a reason to wear shoes.
However, there's nothing I love so much as walking barefoot on a cool, smooth, clean floor. Nothing like it in the world!
I think I'm going on approximately 1.27 x 10^12 pairs. I still can't find any shoes to wear oddly enough!

but aren't those a type of shoes?two words: flip-flops!!!
Perhaps the hornet decided to take a nap in the grass because of your ill-percieved notion of the necessity for shoes. I know I go without shoes whenever possible and I've yet to step on a hornet because I feel that shoes are indeed not required to live my life.
I quite enjoyed it actually and am hereby officially disagreeing with your opinion.

Right, but think about it this way. Say you were born in some kind of savage society.. or lack of society. And you were like a wild girl, lived in the mountains or something and lived off the land with no concept of a society. Would you really care about how your skin appeared, given that you had no idea of what the (asshole) norm thought about their own skin?
These are thoughts that are implanted into your brain from simple observation from living within a society.
Hesitant to spend $40 on another pair of shoes, my worn out shoes have led me to do exactly that on my current pair, which are waterproof Sketchers. I don't know how much of a loser it makes me for wearing that particular brand (when I went to school, people could get beat up if they didn't wear Nike or Jordan shoes), but they are comfortable, durable, and they get me from here to there.
Nice story and comments
