SEC-S13/W3 | "Bare Feet 🐾"

_{Picture of my feet from my phone}

On your mark, Get set, Go; I took off barefoot with the speed of light as my feet had this connection with the ground and the friction it creates made me stable, spring forward and go faster on the tar road. I won the race. The very essence of walking barefoot. Those who follows masquerade so as to be pursued will have to remove their shoes so they can run confidently without getting caught. What are they running on? Their feet. Their feet feels and suffers the pain yet, it gives them balance and mobility compared to wearing shoes.

I personally love walking barefoot because It makes me have some special connection with the ground and it makes me free from the bondage of wearing shoes. Let's say I want to go into farming, shoes will make me farm uncomfortably. Let's say I want to run from a threat, wearing of shoes will slow me down. I feel more comfortable and at peace walking barefoot in my home even outside my compound and when doing sports. Even when attending a lecture, I do Remove my crocs in class so as to feel the temperature of the ground and as well connect with it.

Taking care of our feets have been overlooked by many as some consider it a waste of time and unimportant even scrubbing their feets during bath and applying lotion to it. Did you know?

• Taking care of our feets and preventing it from unnecessary injures can enhance our mobility and help us walk independent without any support. I can remember an incident where my classmate failed to take care of his feet by shielding it in rough environment. He ended up tearing his feet so badly that he started limping as the pain was just there.

• Taking care of our feets by scrubbing it during bath and applying foot cream will always keep our feet moisturized at all times and prevent hardness or tear. There are some people who walking barefoot was inherent in them. They have made the surface of their feet so rough that it begins to tear as shown below which looks very repulsive.

• No just our feet, our toes nails directly above our feets should be taken care of to avoid infections entering the skin.

• Most at times when it rains and flood the road, many remove their shoes and then walk barefoot inside the water. This is no doubt wrong but sometimes, microorganisms in that water like the leech called Itud in my state do stay low inside the water and then capture our feet and suck the blood in our body. So it's good to wear a rubber shoe in this case to avoid such.

• Taking care of one's feet also helps in diabetes management and circulation of blood. These are the many importance of taking care of one's feet..

There's no fallacy in this saying as it's true. There's what we call ectoparasite. These parasites operates on the skin of humans and animals. It can be contacted when we expose ourselves to the ground and other sources though. Walking barefoot isn't bad but when walking barefoot in an unhealthy environment, parasites are liable to enter and cause damage to the skin. If you notice, there's this whitish thing on people's feet that appears lik scales. These are parasites that makes people feet abnormal. There are times you'll see long hairs growing on someone's feet. These are signs of bacterial infections on the feet.

There's this experience of my friend who was walking inside water. The leech took to his feet but he didn't recognize until the leech bore a hole in-between his toes and he started experiencing pains. It was very difficult for us remove that leech in-between his toes not until we poured petrol Inside the hole to weaken the leech. That's how it came out.

Personally I feel without shoes on planet earth, it wouldn't have been a big deal. Participate caution would have been taken on our environment to always be clean as possible and free from Sharp objects that would damage someone's feet but in another eye, it would have been very weird without shoes. Shoes add to the beauty of a person even if the clothes doesn't worth that much. Just imagine going to make a presentation barefoot, I feel it would be very awkward. But at the same time, if our first parents didn't sign, don't you think we would have still been barefoot on that beautiful garden? Anyways, I won't deliberate on this that much.

In conclusion, walking barefeet is an integral part of life to those who feels they have some connection with nature. It's also important no doubt to walk barefoot as it gives us more grounds and stability to do or carryout activities conveniently.
