barefoot walk
Unshod ground contact
A barefoot walk is walking without shoes, typically done deliberately for pleasure or grounding rather than from necessity.
The practice connects to beliefs about health benefits from direct contact with earth: She takes a barefoot walk on the beach every morning.
Barefoot walks may follow designated paths with varied textures—sand, grass, smooth stones—designed to stimulate the feet.
