i live in the uk and i hardly ever wear shoes i hate them, why people are interested in my feet i will never understand
Is that common in the UK?
People scared of bare foot are the same people scared of rain.
I’m quite happy to be outside when it’s raining, but I don’t enjoy going barefoot unless it’s at the beach or indoors
I go bare foot in the rain, my crocs slide in water on wet shop floors, so I get better grip barefoot in the shops. I slid once, in my crocs, dislocated my toe and had a trip to the hospital, from the supermarket, in an ambulance and had to go back to get my car. Floors are clean in our shops, spills are cleaned quickly, so yeah we can go barefoot. Yes i'm from NQ.
Going bush can get your feet bitten, so you do wear shoes on a bush walk. Some beaches are in stinger areas, tentacles can get broken off, so yeah, sometimes you need protective shoes, don't walk on the reef barefoot, just wear your boat shoes, some fish can spike you through your thongs, coral is sharp and can be poisonous, or the inhabitants can be..
Definitely seems to be far more popular to go barefoot in northern QLD & NT!
I AM BAREFOOT 50/50 BUT IT DEPENDS ON WHERE IM GOING AND FOR WHAT I CHECK THE LETTERBOX BAREFOOTED I GO TOO DINNER WEARING SHOES WE ARE AT THE END OF MAY SO NO SURPRISE U DID NOT SEE ANY1 BAREFOOT (I STILL CHECK THE LETTERBOX BAREFOOTED )
I live in Bendigo- it’s still warm enough here to get around in thongs quite comfortably- to be honest, I’ve lived here for close to 7 years now & never seen anyone going barefoot
Summer in Queensland the road tarmac almost melts & the ground is way too hot to go barefoot.
Lived in qld for 15 years but back home in south Australia now where the roads get much hotter then qld and we still go barefoot in summer. If you do it all the time your use to it.
Even here in Bendigo, it becomes too hot to go barefoot in summer- Queensland would be much worse!
@@CheekyKoala walk on the living green footpath, why walk on the road, don't park on the wrong side, and do the hot-foot run, and avoid all the bindies.
I think I’ll stick to wearing thongs outdoors 😂😂
Beachy places...sure...everywhere else...nah.
Same for me!
Barefoot is common in my local area, you do see it around town, in shops etc, were semi subtropical a 13klm drive from the beach, Mid North Coast NSW. Sure not while working or clubs/pubs etc and sure the climate dictates, and sure some venues it's a done deal to wear shoes.. it's definitely not fawn upon, not in our neck of the woods anyway.
So definitely a thing in northern Australia then? I live in central Vic, not a thing here ❤️
Including myself I see people barefoot all the time and not just in the beachside suburbs. I was in Liverpool west Sydney yesterday and I saw two people walking into a servo bare foot. A lot of Aussies deny there is a barefoot culture because they either don't get out much or are too ashamed to admit we go barefoot so attempt to convince foreigners it's just a myth. I go anywhere barefoot including shopping or just walking the dog and dingo even in winter.
So it is something that is a northern states thing then? I never see it here down in Victoria
@@CheekyKoala I'm in Wollongong and when I was in Adelaide for work I also noticed especially around Glenelg the bare foot brigade was active. I think I mainly go barefoot because my dingo keeps eating my thongs and I'm too lazy to put shoes on.
@@CheekyKoalaSo you're saying it's a myth based on what you see in Melbourne?
My Kelpie x Lab chewed through multiple pairs of thongs before she was 2! Thankfully she did eventually give up!
@@FromTheGong it's not a "culture" just what we'e always done. I didn't own school shoes or casual shoes until grade 8, just good "church" shoes. Then school decided we had to wear shoes to school, so mum bought them, after she got me black joggers, and I never wore the leather ones again.
You'll see people going barefoot in the streets around a beach. Otherwise no; people wear shoes.
That’s certainly my experience down here in Victoria
I reckon all the footage of barefoot shoppers is taken in supermarkets at coastal surfing locations
Yep- I was thinking the same thing!
I live country ish. In summer some people go barefoot. The swimming pool is close and the young ones will go from the pool to the shops in bathing suits and bare feet. We are nowhere near the beach
Wrong, As a 20 yr Coles Mgr. Snow to Tropics to Outback Stores. Barefeet at all of them and everywhere in between. Stick that in your Gumboot. 🦶
I'm in outer eastern Melbourne, and I don't see many people barefoot, most wear thongs.
I can see why people would do that - why put shoes on to go to the shops if you’re just headed back to the pool 😂😂
We go barefoot in New Zealand quite often. I mean, no-one is showing up to work without shoes, but it's not unusual to see people, especially kids, going barefoot in the summer. I don't know why it's such a big deal, they're just feet. My Irish father hated it, apparently it's a class thing in Ireland, but Mum, a Kiwi, told him to chill, it's perfectly normal for kids to take their shoes off whenever possible.
I hadn’t thought to query if this was a thing in NZ! Are you in the north?
@@thehangmansdaughter1120 it's Good for your feet too.
Unless you live somewhere cold like Tassie or Melbourne 😂😂❤️
we often went barefoot in primary school, to and from school and barefoot in all school athletics carnivals...the 1970's....ah freedoms
I was a 70s kid, but growing up in Tassie, going barefoot was not ideal for most of the year!
@@CheekyKoala Nice come across a Tasmanian like me. Your right anyone who things it's a good idea to go around barefoot in the bush specially here Tassie needs their head read.....Pete from Devonport
When I went to primary school (also the 1970s) if you showed up barefoot you'd be sent home. I had foot problems as a youngster and couldn't wear shoes for a while. My parents had to get a special certificate from the doctor to allow me to go to school without shoes.
Also a 1970's school kid. Moved from the south coast of NSW to the north coast (very hippy area). First day at new primary school, wore my black school shoes, as I had down south. That was the last day I wore shoes to school until High School. 3/4 mile walk down a dirt road to catch the bus to school, toughens up the soles real quick.
I’m a HS teacher on the beaches. The kiddos still take their shoes off at athletics carnivals.
ya wont get served in a pub barefooted , even near the beach , you will be confronted with signs saying "no shoes no shirt no service"
I thought that was the case, but can only speak for Southern Australia - I’ve never been to any pubs in NSW or QLD!
Wrong. I've been barefoot in my local plenty of times.
Depends on the pub and the way it's set up? The more classy the pub the stricter the rules but I believe as long as your not at the bar your not breaking any laws and pubs with outdoor dining etc can be far more lenient
In a pub glasses break and if not cleaned up correctly , you might cut your foot. Shirt should be worn I don't want to be looking at a beer belly , 🤣😂😂😂
I think you’re right, it definitely depends on where you are as far as what state & type of pub
There is more barefoot in NT and the smaller towns.
That makes sense!
I accidentally went out without shoes the other day. It felt weird walking on concrete barefoot.
People who go barefoot get used to it, but for those of us who don’t, it does feel weird!
I only go barefoot at the beach, I refuse to use thongs, they are a blight on humanity.
Inside the house I wear slip-on shoes because otherwise all the dead skin from your feet distributes itself around the house.
Around the yard I wear steel capped work boots because "who wants to get bitten by a snake" right. I regularly see Eastern Browns and Red Belly Blacks.
I do wear thongs, I must confess, but same with everything else - only at beach & I wear my thongs around my house
I love my thongs (sorry) - but yes I’m a strictly beach only person- mostly though because I have ADHD & therefore have serious sensory issues around going barefoot anywhere else - I will slip my shoes off inside if I’m somewhere with nice flooring (& not cold kitchen tiles…)
@Ninja_chihuahua ❤️
@@Ninja_chihuahua Yeah, I understand but the trauma of a childhood standing in the oppressively hot , school music room and slipping around on sweat covered thongs while the dirt on my feet turned into mud, was too much for me.
@@continental_drift oh! I can totally understand what you’re saying there! Not a fun experience!
its pension time for that academic.
I agree 😂😂😂
Nothing like walking into a urinal and feeling the slosh below your feet…then there’s the cubicle..what in the heck do some think of when going barefoot in public?
At the beach yes. In suburbia. No thanks. It’s just plain dirty…and unhygenic
Exactly! Not my idea of fun!!
It is not seen so much these days but some pubs had signs at the door - 'No bare feet.' When I was younger it was quite common to walk into a public bar and most of the patrons would be barefoot; including me. Tradies would take their boots off and go barefoot. No footwear must be worn in most bars/pubs and in many cases this will simply be thongs (flip flops, jandles whatever). I live on the Sunshine Coast and my grandchildren are following after their parents and grandparents and go barefoot as much as possible. We keep a set of thongs in the car, in case we need em.
Down here in the south (Victoria) most pubs would turf you out the door if you weren’t wearing shoes! I can understand the desire to go barefoot where you live though!
If I had to live my life over,
I would start barefoot earlier in the spring
and stay that way later in the fall.

She was 85 when she wrote that
Barefoot means being in touch with Mother Earth, it's a spiritual thing.
I can appreciate that as being the case for some people! ❤️
Not sure if my replies get seen because almost every reply comment I give is usually blocked or deleted by RUclips which I've also noticed a few others are complaining about also.
Ugh! I hate when RUclips does that! I’ll see if I can find your comments and “set them free” ❤️
A classic case of a storm in a tea cup. My mother told me tales of my youth where between the ages of 2 to 5 I would refuse to wear shoes and the only clothes I would wear were swimming togs and would complain if I had to dress in any other attire. This all changed when I started to go to school.
Ha ha!! Brings back memories of stories that my grandmother used to tell about my mother- as a toddler, she was known to discard shoes & clothing & take herself up the road for a little walk 😂😂😂
My twins were the same. I couldn't keep shoes, or clothes for that matter, on them for love nor money. We figured they're just little kids, why does it matter if they're in the yard naked? We did get one complaint, a man at the door complaining that it was indecent. I told him if he looked at my 3yos and saw something sexual or "indecent" about their innocent nakedness then he was a pervert and had no place in our neighbourhood. Dirty old man. Who looks at a 3 year old and thinks sexual thoughts?
So very true!
I see barefoot people regularly but not all that many in our regional town , much less in the cities, dutch immigrants wondered where they had come to when they saw barefoot people here thinking they can't even afford shoes , in my first week here in the 80ties we were going to a concert but we were refused entry because of our lack of footwear and I was furious my aussie mates weren't aware of that beforehand, I once hitchhiked from India to the Netherlands all barefoot sometimes through the snow , Kashmir and Turkye and I didn't hurt me too much
Wow! Barefoot in the snow! That is a whole other thing!
I used to be bare foot all the time, only wore shoes was when I had labs at uni
I’m discovering that there are quite a few people who are fans of going barefoot! Are you in a northern state?
Certain minority aspects of Australian culture (or lack thereof) has become fashionable. Not everyone goes barefoot, feel the need to put tomato sauce on a pie, put chicken salt on fish n chips (yuk, doesn’t match flavourwise!) but saying those things out loud you get called Un Australian.
Ps if you need tomato sauce on a pie, you must be buying and eating shit pies!
I grew up in Tassie- I would never put sauce on anything but a meat pie, but in terms of meat pies, most Tasmanians only eat National Pies & it’s normal to put sauce on them- if you don’t put sauce on a National Pie, you’re in a teeny tiny minority
Maybe it’s my generation, but I can’t help but consider people who go around everywhere barefoot as being somewhat less cultured….
I think it's dependant on your background. If your rural, from the bush or grew up right on the beach every weekend then your more then comfortable barefoot doing basic tasks like running down the servo or running quickly into the shops etc. Not likely if it's a planned even like a few hours shopping or going out for dinner etc. How you live socially will impact this also, people of the so called bogan persuasion are more likely to do it then prove school educated wealthy.
The thing is from what I can tell even these situations are far more common then over seas, especially Europe.
Personally I never ever wear shoes at home, inside or outside. If I need to run down the road or pop in the servo or woollies for something quick I won't put on shoes.
It’s clearly a geographical thing also - down here in Victoria, I’d never head out to the shops without footwear, but it seems that the further north you go, the more common it becomes!
I am sick of backpackers saying that everyone don’t wear shoes . Only people are barefooted around the beaches . In Sydney 99 percent of people wear shoes .That man is British .
Yes!!! Crazy having some British academic trying to explain a stereotype as a “culture”!
its not a cultural thin g. that remark is rubbish. might happen at the beach or camping. but not usual.
Yeah I think you could call it a “culture” in terms of going to the beach, but other than that, it’s not exactly part of our culture to wander around barefoot- at least not down here in the Southern part of the country!
Children with no shoes on 'do better in classroom', major study …
Children who learn with no shoes on are more likely to behave better and obtain good grades than peers with footwear, a decade-long study has revealed. Who knew? 😂😂😂
Well that’s interesting! I guess it comes down to having additional sensory input?
@@CheekyKoala Yea! I never thought of that , I think you are right!
❤️
It is not normal.
That’s my opinion 👍
no shoes at5 work is prob illegal from OHS rules.
Probably is! It’s also somewhat uncouth- I have been known to slip my shoes off at work when there was no “public” around, or when sitting in a staff meeting- but never in a situation where I would be seen by anyone other than colleagues & I certainly wouldn’t go from room to room without shoes…
I think you're missing the mark a bit (not completely) in this video, and your limited experience of living in Victoria (I assume) shows. Perhaps to the same degree as these academics and pundits try to represent their limited experience as "all of Australia".
I have lived in four states and territories (about to be five).
The Australian "bear foot" meme is exaggerated, but it is a thing, and enough of a thing to be noticeable to outsiders.
I see bear-footedness as emanating from the beach and beach culture as alluded to in this video and in your comments. However it spreads a lot further from the beach than can be explained by purely practical reasons, and along the east coast of Australia, from Cairns to Batemans Bay, you will find the odd bare foot 5km, 10km, 15km inland (with decreasing frequency the further you go, and increasing side-eyes from people who may look twice). On display not just by people in board shorts with a towel slung over their shoulder, but by people merely dressed casually and going about their daily deeds.
Personally, I grew up 1km from the beach and I must confess from the ages of 12 to my early 20's me and my friends often just walked around bearfoot, even when we hadn't been near the beach for weeks. We only owned shoes for going to school in, and for going away in the car with the family. I'd walk to the shops and carry two bags of groceries home barefoot, and a good percentage of the people I met along the way would be the same. Your feet get tougher from doing it, and I used to pride myself on the fact I could walk over an oyster bed at low tide without shoes on and not cut myself. Sections of gravel road with sharp little stones, or the burning-hot bitumen on summer days were a source of some discomfort to all of us but you also get used to it and as a point of teenaged, macho principle I used to tackle these obstacles without changing my gait, limping, or letting any grimace or wince cross my face.
I lived in Melbourne for 10 years and it's virtually unseen down there. In Sydney, in the beach and bay suburbs (Manly, Botany, Coogee, Randwick etc) it's very common, again by people who don't look at have actually been at the beach.
So yeah, I definitely think it's a thing. But the exaggeration is that 90% of Aussies do it, 90% of the time, that it's done all over Australia, and that you can go to work, school, events, upmarket shops with no shoes on.
Thank you for such a well thought out, detailed comment- I think you’ve nailed it - I should have perhaps been clearer in my comments that I believed it to be more of a northern Australian thing - but what you’ve said about it being an over exaggeration & over generalisation sound spot on to me ❤️
I'm 63 and only wear shoes/footwear when I absolutely have to
I even go downtown barefoot, although I always carry a pair of thongs in my bag for special occasions, like lunch etc
And no, I'm not a bogan feral. Just like being barefoot...
Barefoot bowls anyone?
I’d be happy with barefoot bowls, but coming from the southern end of Australia, I would never go anywhere without at least wearing a pair of thongs- which state are you in?
@@CheekyKoala Bega Valley NSW, but formally Melbourne....
@@Wandafulofit Did you go barefoot in Melbourne, or was it a habit that started after moving to NSW?
I’m on the northern beaches. Lots of bare foot people, and those in bikinis / swim wear at shops.
The kids even do their athletics carnivals without shoes.
Thank you! I can’t speak for Victoria, but when I lived in Tasmania, kids weren’t allowed to do athletic carnivals without shoes - makes sense though if your in the northern beaches!
Why would you give the side eye its a free country you want to wear shoes fine, but why judge, this being offended is getting out of hand and has to be stamped out, no pun intended
Are you in the north? It seems to be more acceptable in the northern states & I agree - people should be allowed to go barefoot (with some limitations) if they choose- I thought that “etiquette” woman on the video sounded kind of stuck up saying that there’s no place for it!
@@CheekyKoalaHi mate born in Sydney live in rural Qld maybe I'm just an old grumpy fart but it seems people are less thick skinned than they were, most older pubs min dress thongs, singlet, shorts .The roles on barefeet are an insurance thing but I've been in pubs which use plastic glasses where yo can go bare-footed, mostly sea side areas and places with a dress code that applies after 7pm personally I drive barefoot or with thongs and see people barefoot in cole regularly Cheers
Thanks ❤️
Thank you so much for making this video. It's been driving me up the wall that this is a stereotype. I have lived in Sydney all my life and now live in Hobart. I have been to other areas in Australia, and I do not think I will get away with saying ''G'day c*nt'' and walking around barefooted as freely as this stupid stereotype suggests. So thank you!
It was driving me nuts too!! And as for this notion that we say “g’day c*nt” - if anyone ever said that to me, I’d turn my back & walk away!
i dont even go barefoot in the house.
I don’t go barefoot in the house, I use slip on footwear- but this is partly because in the cooler months the tiled floor areas are bleeding cold!
I grew up going barefoot most of the time. I wear shoes out but indoors and in the garden barefoot.
If I had carpet I’d go barefoot inside, but I have tiles in many areas of my house & they’re just too damn cold in the cooler months ❤️
Where I live in Northern Sydney, its extremely common to see people barefoot at shops, markets, fast food places etc. In summer it would sometimes be a majority of guys under 40. I've been to other parts of Sydney and seen lots of barefoot people as well. The BBC video was filmed in the Illawarra where it's very normal, too. I also visited the Gold Coast last year and it was very common. I disagree it's a "bogan" thing. Melbourne/Victoria is not the whole of Australia.
I think it comes down to where you live - sounds like it’s viewed differently in different areas- certainly, Victoria is not the whole of Australia & I apologise if I’ve not clarified in my video that I am looking at it from a southern perspective- I thought I had mentioned that I believed it to be more common place the further north you go, sorry if I failed to do so ❤️ down here & down in Tassie, where I originally come from, it is seen as being somewhat bogan, but it sounds, from people’s comments that this isn’t quite so in the northern states! Thanks for adding your perspective to the discussion- I’m quite enjoying hearing everyone’s opinions on this & figuring out where it is acceptable & where it isn’t! ❤️
@@CheekyKoala fair enough I guess you can only comment from your perspective. Tbh I didn't even realise it was controversial in other parts of the country haha
That makes sense! I hadn’t realised it was quite so popular up north! 😂😂
Your feet toughen up when you dont were shoes.l could sprint on roads no problem .l didn't wear shoes much in summer uptil about 40 years old l had a few acidents stood on a few broken bottles so l do wear shoes now .when I'm out n about but not on the beach.
Yes I went through a “phase” in years 11 where I went barefoot for a while - my feet did toughen up - not something that I would recommend though- these days I’m a strictly beach & indoors perso
Where I live north of Sydney going into a supermarket barefoot marks you squarely as a bogan (of which we have quite a few around here). Though nothing beats the time in a local town supermarket that the woman with the trolley in front of me was not only barefoot, but decided to spit in the middle of the aisle. Classy.
Eeeeeew! That’s so gross! And soooooo bogan!!
From Adelaide. I don't see anyone going barefoot. Maybe it's different in Queensland and the NT.
Yeah same with Victoria- must be a QLD & NT thing!
Never leave home without shoes if it was hot I would wear thongs
I agree!
Am I blind lol. I’ve never seen anyone barefoot at my local suburban shops, or anywhere. I’ve never gone barefoot anywhere except for the beach on the sand.
Rob is right. Yeah, off to work in bare feet, bare feet in Melb or Tassy winter - not lol
@@bernadettelanders7306 neither do I but many do wear thongs or sandals
@@whymeeveryone
Absolutely, like u I wear thongs and sandals as well. Barefoot at home sometimes. I spend Christmas Eve wactching carols by candlelight most years with 2 dear friends . I took a pic with 6 bare feet on foot stools watching it on telly lol
… just checked photo, yes 6 bare feet - Christmas tree and Carrol’s by candlelight in Aussie summer 😊
Oh! Barefoot in southern winter- no thanks 😂😂😂
personal choice when and where.
To some extent, I think it’s still considered unacceptable in many places such as restaurants etc & I can understand places wanting to discourage it for OH&S reasons
@@CheekyKoala Yep but not fish n chip shops, Maccas, Woolies, uni et al. More formal places like schools nah. I grew up in the 60's and it was bare feet as much as possible. Inhibitors were bindiis, prickles, gnarly seeds, broken glass and feet melting bitumen, sand or rocks. Grass was always cooler to walk on regardless. Now people are too precious and don't want their kids to get dirty or be adventurous in any way.
Guessing that since you refer to “bindis”, that you’re from NSW? Less likely down here in Victoria to see many people going barefoot
Goi g Barfoot stops the mushrooms growing between the toes
😂😂😂
funny chappy😂
Yes
😉❤️
At the beach,lakes and rivers, inside the home and in home and public gardens are the only times we go barefoot, sometimes. No one walks on burning hot concrete and asphalt, sharp gravel and grass infested with sharp burs and bindi without footware.
Sounds like what I would consider as being the norm!
How old are you Cheeky, I am over 60 and started life in Parramatta. Aussie's have been going barefoot everywhere and anywhere for my whole life. I was a supermarket manager for over 20 yrs. Stores from the Snowy to the tropics and as far west as Bourke. People without shoes at all of them. Oldies are always jealous of the young or the young at heart. Just like my Grandmother, stick to the clean undies and hankies line and leave the poor barefooted alone. If ya got the pins, show more than ya shins. lol 🦘🐨🦶
I’m 50 - I live in central Victoria, but grew up in Tassie - not places where you tend to see many people getting around barefoot!
@@CheekyKoala Too bloody cold Cheeky, how much can a Koala bear
Precisely!
@@CheekyKoala Your only a Pup then. Or Kitten 🐕🐈⬛ With cold 👣
I like to keep my feet warm 😂😂😂
id like to see a barefoot eskimo.
Ouch!
Her comments are ridiculous 🙄 we love bare feet & I live down south 🤪
I’m down south, but as much as I prefer going barefoot, I’m a beaches, nice grass & indoors barefoot kind of person- I will confess that for most of the year I wear thongs or sandals & if the conditions are right, will happily slip them off (but not in shops etc)
I’m down south and I’ve never seen anyone barefoot at shops. Rob himself has been to Australia to watch our footy. Only half way through, but I thought Rob might say if he and his wife saw bare feet when here in Aus. He had meet and greets in a few states here, I couldn’t make it. I bet there wasn’t one person who walked in bare footed.
Yep I’m Victorian, originally from Tassie & I couldn’t even tell you the last time I saw someone out & about going barefoot!
@@CheekyKoala
A Taswegian in Victoria 😱. They let you in lol
Just joking. I love our Aussie banter between states. We all know it’s a form of friendship. Some from overseas actually think we are really picking on each other lol. That’s our Aussie humour 💞
I had to have that second head removed first before I could officially become a Victorian of course 😂😂😂
Walking barefoot in a store or pub is usually banned because the proprietors don;t want the hassle of being sued if someone is injured. I tend to think of the hygiene aspect of some grub bringing all sorts of street crap in. I was in the ER Dept or Taree Hospital a few weeks back and a young bogun wandered in barefoot and filthy.
For me, the hygiene issue is definitely a big thing & I think that proprietors are certainly within their rights to want to avoid legal repercussions from some fool going barefoot into their store & injuring themselves- it only takes one piece of broken glass…..
im sorry, barefoot is not Australian culture. Its just people playing to the myth. walk around barefoot in Australia as a matter of course you soon going to find yourself in hospital.
Yep! I agree!
Plenty of Aussies too. I can only guess your city folks and maybe more upper class?
This is so weird. Where I live in Sydney it's extremely common to see people barefoot.
@@jarrodglover2311 That is is weird, where I live in Perth if you go barefoot you stand a fair chance of stepping on a stone, a piece of glass, random items depends where you are, doublegees, thats the worst. But stepping on a dropped screw or nail is close. But of course, down the beach and Ive seen a few people but not many walk into supermarkets here and even Bunnings. But not many, I think the fact that you will inevitably step on something which really hurts keeps the numbers of these people to a minimum. But theres idiots everywhere, I saw a 3 year old kid riding a scooter barefoot at Bunnings the other day. What could possibly go wrong in a hardware store, idiot parent.
Some parents just don’t think, do they!
😅😅😅 Aussies LOVE BARE FEET & we go everywhere bare feet 😅 Aussies also mostly live near beaches ⛱ & up north hot enough all year ! Listening to this judgemental commentary is laughable 😅 up north jobs are mostly around tourism mmmm beaches , rainforest, ect & barefoot ! These story tellers are just saying BS !
For some of the people on this video, the word “pompous” comes to mind - although I do think there seems to be an ongoing stereotype type that we all go barefoot pretty much 24/7 everywhere we go!
Never seen it in all my years
When I lived in Tassie, you would occasionally see hippies (the smelly unwashed kind) getting around barefoot. Since moving to Victoria, I’ve not once encountered anyone out in public going barefoot (aside from at the beach of course)
going barefoot is dangerous and only bogans do it.
Snob !
I live in a fairly wealthy part of Sydney and it's extremely common
i think if you go to the shops barefoot you will soon come up against an insurance issue.
These days, that’s almost a certainty! I would never walk into a shop barefoot!
Here in qld I see people barefooted at the shops all the time.
Lol that's ridiculous
Seems to be popular in QLD
Only poor low-income people go out in public barefoot, its dirty dangerous and disgusting
I have to admit, that’s what I was brought up believing, so regardless of whether it’s correct, that’s the way I still see it these days…❤️
Are you for real? I live in a fairly wealthy part of Sydney and it's very common here.
@@jarrodglover2311 People spit, drop sharp things, maybe dirty needles and that just doesn't bother you? crazy
@@thedreadedsyntholbaby763 I've literally only once seen a used needle on the ground and that was in Kings Cross. Also people have showers every day. Do you wash your shoes daily?
I think that at the end of the day, it depends on which state you live in! ❤️
im sorry . its bogans ...
Or hippies….
Weak as piss mate
I am usually barefoot. I don't like wearing shoes or thongs.
I remember when I was growing up in Qld, bars and things required shoes after 6 PM.
I hate wearing shoes, but I’ll wear things pretty much everywhere ❤️
I walk without shoes all the time,i do live on the coast tho..
If i was to do that in land (forbes) where i was born i would end up getting hard wooden bindi's,your foot bleeds when you pull them out quite painful especially a foot full of them...
I’ve never trodden on bindis - I can imagine the pain though!
