A woman who has chosen to ditch shoes for good and even hiked Snowdon without anything on her feet - has told how she still has to her trainers on for trips to the supermarket after ASDA staff were displeased with the sight of her toes.
El Robertson from Bristol, started her barefoot journey a year ago and now vows to never buy a pair of shoes again, claiming they're unnatural. The 25-year-old has dubbed shoes 'foot prisons' and claims she finds it 'liberating' to go without - and even leaves her feet in better condition. El, who was always barefoot as a child, said: "Going barefoot was an awakening of how I should be and how well it works for me.
"I feel like it is quite misunderstood as people always tell me how it's dangerous and irresponsible. Although I feel more secure and confident without shoes on, I'm also able to get proper feedback from the ground.
