barefoot walking
Soles touching ground
Barefoot walking is the practice of walking without shoes or other footwear, often promoted for purported health benefits like improved posture, foot strength, or connection to the ground.
Enthusiasts call it earthing or grounding: She took up barefoot walking after reading about its benefits.
The phrase sometimes describes a lifestyle choice rather than a momentary state.
