In many ways, YES! Think about how you felt as a kid: You were bolder. You had more stamina. Life's problems weren't such big deals. More to the point of this Q&A, your feet didn't hurt so much because you went barefoot all the time and didn't wear stiff, stuffy shoes. Even if you did hurt your bare feet, it wasn't a big deal. You healed and went right back out there. The risks were no big deal because the benefits were far greater.

Yes, we want you to feel young again, and going barefoot can help with that.
