A few days of quiet time so figured I’d ask a question I haven’t see here before. I might have just missed it. When walking do you count shoes as cheating when it comes to being naked. I think naked is naked head to toe. I have sore feet some times when i walk as i often walk on forest or wood paths that regularly turn to gravel or have sticks and stones on them. Sometime I think I should really be wearing trainers to protect my feet but it always feels like a cheat.

I think naturists usually would wear shoes if walking outdoors.
The BN event I went to (a charity walk in a nature reserve) was “clothing optional” so clothing or no clothing would have been acceptable. But I’m sure shoes were mandatory. And personally I would wear shoes even indoors if there’s any possibility that somebody might have broken a glass at some time in the past.
As for counting shoes, the answer usually is two 🙂

I decided to check, and sure enough at https://www.nakedheartwalk.org.uk/ it says:
- Do I have to take my clothes off?
If you are new to naturism then this is the perfect incentive to give it a go, and for a good cause. We accept some people may prefer to wear clothes; if that’s you then bring a bag as you may change your mind half way around when you see the others enjoying all that naturism brings.
- What happens if it is raining?
We get wet! Normal naturist protocol applies and if it turns cold then you put on a mac. The event will still go ahead and the weather won’t dampen the fun.
- What else should I bring? Proper walking boots or sturdy shoes are a must (except Morecambe Bay where sandals or bare feet are better on sand). Likewise, consider a hat or sun cream if it’s hot and bring some water.

I actually think a naked woman who is wearing only one piece of clothing like that is a very attractive site. The weird thing I feel like if I was completely naked and the other person was wearing shoes I would feel somewhat self-conscious over the fact that they are more dressed than I was! But in general if a person is wearing shoes if everything else is visible that normally wouldn’t be if they were wearing clothing I consider that pretty much naked. Just like glasses because even if you’re a nudist if you can’t see without your glasses it’s just not practical.

Some interesting takes. I never know if people would think me a cheat if did a video walking in trainers or not. Sounds like no it wouldn’t be considered cheating here for the most part. I still need to work out in my head if I think it would be cheating. I like that totally naked feeling but having nice feeling feet at the end of the walk would be nice.

I still think I prefer bare feet. Tried again this morning to do a short walk but I ended up barefoot and very muddy again. I’m generally careful about how and where I walk to prevent walking in long grass or on sharp stones etc.. I know you can be 100% certain but it hasn’t been too bad so far.
I guess it’s time to do another longer walk and test the difference between shoes and no shoes. Just need to wake up early next weekend and head out further again to get it done.

I guess the thing is for me it’s not about what would get me in trouble but what feels naked. I’m sure the police wouldn’t really count shoes as still being covered but in my head I still question am I naked.
I’ve cut short a few walks in the past either cause feet start to hurt or my feet get cold aand that cold travels from feet to body quite quickly. Not having to cut walls short for those reasons would be good.
Shoes would also make running for safety much easier but again it kind of feels like a cheat. It’s like you can give up and get back to safety. Without them you are basically having to tell yourself you are likely to be exposed of you get caught so love with it. Like it changed your mindset.
I definitely need to try both on the same walk..I’ll feedback next weekend if I’ve changed my mind or not.

I’ve done very short walks without shoes just to get a feel for it. I do think it enhances the feeling of being totally bare, as does removing hat, glasses, and my wedding ring. But in most conditions it’s neither comfortable nor practical. I would count any situation where you’re not wearing anything on the main areas of your upper or lower body as nude.
On the other hand, taking shoes and hats off for photos looks better. I first tried this timed photo on a hike with shoes and it looked silly. So I redid it without shoes. While I was setting up for the second shot, a group of four hikers in their early twenties came by. I quickly covered up, but they knew what was going on. I apologized and stayed covered to let them pass. They said it’s ok. I did ask the male member of the group if he’d like to help me get the shot, but he declined. So I waited and set it up again.

I also had a really cool and unique experience in November at a wild beach. I was totally nude and could not see or hear any people or anything manmade in any direction. I removed absolutely everything, including shoes, glasses and ring, hid them out of my view, and just sat there in and part of nature, seeing nothing but the rook, the sand, the sea and sky, hearing the breeze and the waves. I’m not a spiritual person, but it felt transcendental.

My video stopped recording about 10 seconds in as I put the phone down next to the tree so unfortunately it’s just my written experience today.
Firstly damn it’s cold and wet In a storm.
I went out on shorts t shirt and a big regatta coat. Footwear was some hiking shoes from Amazon and a pair of cycling over shoes. The overshoes didn’t stop my feet getting wet but they did stop them getting cold.
My shorts were a fabric style so got very wet very quickly on the raid and soaked right through to my boxers too. )when I got home as the shorts were so wet the top half of my legs that had been covered were more red from cold than the uncovered bottom half of my legs).
I started out on my walk today knowing it was stormy thinking I was just going direct to the shops but after 5 minutes walking I go the urge to try out the shoes/no shoes walking so I took a detour Leaving the industrial estate in to the country park. Walking through the park the paths are just mowed areas or grass. With all the recent rain those paths are boggy and me feet soon got wet despite the overshoes however the oclvershoes kept my feet warm still.
Walking through the paths round the outside of 3 fields before reaching my safe spot. There is a path round the outside a farm that also has significant tree coverage to the country park fields. There is a clearing from the path to the farm where the fence is broken and has a walkable 50 meter path to the edge of the farm field. I walked up to the edge of the farm field and placed my phone down to record. Walk back a couple of meters and places my headset over a branch on a tree. I hung the Shopping bag I was carrying on the same branch then took offy coat and laid it down on the ground. My shorts and boxers were already soaked by the torrential rain but now my T-shirt was also getting quite wet. I took it off and laid it on top of the coat. Then off came the shoes and socks. Finally I took both shorts and boxers together. I normally take my time to strip each item individually but for some reason today I didn’t. Not sure if it was the rain or just the choice of boxers. I’ve been so used to wearing tight fitting boxers lately but today I was wearing a loose fitting pair. They really don’t feel like your wearing anything half the time and I think that’s why they came off with the shorts.
Standing naked in the rain I decided I might as well walk this path area around the farm field shoeless first, so set off in to the farm field for a 30 second walk then back in to the wooded area and off to the path in the other side by the country park. Before heading back to the starting point. Fully naked felt good, being totally exposed always does although on days like today it can get cold. Back to put my shoes, first thing I noticed was the difference in my warmth. My feet were warm so the rest of my body felt warmer too. This instantly made me think I could probably walk further with shoes on as I wouldn’t have to stop from being cold. I did the same walk as before into the field then off the path and back before getting dressed again.
I have to say in terms of being able to stay naked comfortably for longer periods and walks shoes would make a big difference. However it still felt wrong to me. I got dirty cold wet feet without shoes but it just felt more right. On a clearer less wet and windy day I’ll try again but for now, for me, it has to be shoeless to feel completely naked.

I found a video from a little while back doing a walk around an old green on a gold course, turns out I kept my shoes on. Probably should have taken them off to get undressed or picked better clothes for stripping from..
In terms of safe places this hole is tucked into a corner for the most part so hidden on 3 sides from the most part but… It is completely open looking quite a long way from the course. Then there is the fact it’s hidden from others but also means others are hidden from you.if someone enters this hole being in the corner means there are two directions to it one totally open the other is a path up the side that is hidden while you are pretty much anywhere around the hole except the final part of my walk round the open edge of it.
Anyway feel free to laugh at me failing badly to get undressed and let me know what you think about the shoes. For the most part you wouldn’t know they were on.
