Sorry to hear about your puncture wound and toe injury - ouch!
I have to respectfully disagree about being barefoot though - I love
to go barefoot in the summertime or at festivals, as long as the area
feels safe. I have slipon shoes for gravel, glass, etc. I think
being barefoot is good for you, especially on the earth or grass.
We spend so much of our lives disconnected from the earth, on
concrete, etc.
Getting back on topic - It's also a great way to show off henna and
other adornments! Hooray for henna on the feet - dark and
long-lasting!
By the way I hurt my toe on Wednesday in martial arts, barefoot of
course and sparring with a friend, but he pulled on it and rubbed it
and despite a bruise and some soreness it's ok. I still love going
barefoot, but when you're kicking hard and someone's blocking hard it
can really hurt.
