I truly enjoyed reading all of this. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!In fact, if you go to nudist resorts, you'll see shoes everywhere. It's as if, while so many (not all) free their minds from needing clothing to cover their "privates", they never manage to overcome the idea that shoes are a necessity.
I blogged about it here: http://ahcuah.wordpress.com/2013/02/20/nude-menbut-not-really-nsfw/
That gave me a lot of grief from the nudist community. And if you read the comments there, you will see that many of them made the usual shoddie excuses for needing shoes.
