Hello,
two years passed since I transitioned to barefoot lifestyle. Basically I live barefoot. Whether I am at office or at home I am always barefoot. When I run, I wear sandals or thin leather moccasins to protect my skin, since I prefer rough trail. I usually run 70 miles per week.
Currently it is winter at my place. I wear those thin moccasins on snow. People I hang out with started telling me that this lifestyle will cause RA condition. They ask me if I am not cold, or don't get flu. I usually tell them that no. I am perfectly fine, I wasn't sick for three years, my body has adopted to colder conditions and I just don't get easily sick any more. Their reply usually is: "Yes, you are young, but wait until you get older. You won't be able to walk..."
What should I tell them? I am no doctor with any medical degree. And I have no idea what consequences can barefoot walking in cold winter cause in the long term.
