Hi sweet Polina!

Beautiful pictures! Did you climb barefoot all the way, on such gravelly road and rocks? Ouch!

How did your soles get by the end? Have some close ups?

It's cool that you're going to toughen your soles up, wow!

Regards

Hi!!
Thank you so much!:)
I didn’t get shoes with me so I didn’t have a choice)))
During climbing we walked slowly, took photos. I was in Spain with my mam so she took all photos. When we were near to the top my feet didn’t feel good. But I thought I just have a rest and way back will not be difficult.
Nooooooo!! It was a hell!))) I only just walked down. After this trip my feet ached all day long:)

Of course later I'll show other pics! I have many many))

I think its brilliant that your mam is supporting and helping you show off your feet for us! Do you think you could persuade her to show us her feet aswell?

Look forward to seeing the snow pics. Also I noticed during your Moscow shoot that a guy was talking to you for a while whilst you showed him your cold and dirty feet. Can I ask what sort of things to people say to you when you are showing your feet off in the street? My wife goes barefoot to cinemas and restaurants from time to time but thats the one thing she feels uncomfortable about, people asking her why she has bare feet in cold conditions. How do you feel about that?

I have already taken photos of my mam:) It was at summer. If she is not against I’ll show these pics later.)
When I was barefoot in summer, people didn’t say me anything, they just smiled or stared at me. In Spain passerbies said me something but I can’t understand))
During last Moscow photosession that you can see on this site, many people asked me something like: Are you not frozen?! Are you feeling good barefoot? Why are you barefoot?
That’s it. Some people were taken photos of me.

He-he. Usually my mam doesn’t feel uncomfortable if I’m barefoot in public places, but sometimes she’s against it. Some of my friends are ashamed it. They can take photos where is not people. But in public places they are shy a little bit even to photo me! So the best is to walk barefoot alone:)))
As of me I walk barefoot when I have good mood, when I really want it. So in these moments I can’t feel any inconvenience. In this time I don’t care what people think. I just walk without shoes and feel great comfortable what they afraid to feel :)

Polina, if some conditions besides state of mood are important for you at some degree for time and possibility of barefoot walks? E.g. it can be climate conditions (combination of wind/raining/temperature)

Ya, of course, climate influences on my mood, but its not a main. i like summer and warm weather, so I'm often barefoot in fine days. But I like to walk in snow - it speeds up blood:)
So my barefoot walks depend on my soul condition mostly:)

Talking about barefoot walks on the snow for first time walking barefoot for 1-2 minutes requires strong will and gives extreme feelings for first 0.5 - 1 minute. But even with periodical training being barefoot on the snow for more than minutes is hard test especially if wind takes place. If there some useful tricks or proper training should additionally take place before?

Hi Polina

It's cool your mom doesn't mind you being a barefooter. What does she say about the fact that your soles will soon become very hard and tough?

I posted in the other thread a link to some dares that you might find interesting, let us know what you think about them, OK? It will be cool to put your pretty feet into endurance tests once they get stronger.

Don't forget about the "Timeline Project" :-)

Regards
