Have you ever wondered what it’s like to actually live barefoot? If you have (or even if you do it yourself), you might be interested in this video series with six barefooters talking about doing so.
It was put together through the amazing efforts of barefooter Ben Donnelly.

I live a completely barefoot lifestyle and am an authority in my field. If you need to add to this, please drop me a line.
Excellent compilation! It’s so great to hear all their stories and be able to relate to, as well as to get inspired by, their experiences. Thanks for sharing!
I like his videos. It´s personal without being self-centered. But it´s not barefooters around the world. It´s people from North America and Great Britain. It would be interesting to see barefooters from Russia, South America, Africa and Asia.
