Hi everybody!

Today is unique day :-)

I’m starting a little project. Since this moment I’ll post couple of close-up feet’s photos a week.

So you can notice every change takes place in my feet :-)

Now there is quite cold weather in Russia, and I can’t practise barefoot life every day. But soon there will be a summer and I’ll often walk in my bare feet and they will become harder and tougher, more adapted to walk on different surfaces and pavements. I wanna so much train my feet to easy tread on rocky and stony, coarse and hot surfaces, and on sharp surface!!! Yaaaa, a little bit later I’m planning to walk on broken glass!! :-) It is too difficult for me now, but later I can do it! It will be highly extremely point for me))) Though.. may be afterwards I’ll invent something new =)

Nowadays you and I can see how my feet become harder and harder, become really barefooter’s feet! Yahoo :-)

Congratulations Polina! This is an excellent project and I am sure you will succeed on it.

It's great that you're going to document, with pictures, how the soles of your feet change, how they adapt and how they become tough and rough, how they turn into real living leather. This has never been done before, you will be the very first girl to do this!

It's wonderful that you want your soles to become that hard and strong, and that you want to walk barefoot on all kind of surfaces, from rough to sharp and even on broke glass.

All the best on your project.

Best regards

DG

This is a dream project for us (and for you)...

So,you want be able to walk over very sharp gravel,very hot asphalt,thorns,and finally broken glasses...fantastic

You know that the only way to obtain it is to make very thick and hard callused soles ?

I think yes,so go on...to realize it,you have to walk barefeet on progressively difficoult surface : note that gravel and stones are the best way to make strong leather soles.

I'm waiting to see your sole progress...the callous grow up...

Dear Clipper and DG!
I'm very happy you like this idea!

Yes, I wanna walk on different hard surfaces!
To be capable to walk on hot asphalt or cold snow, on sharp and rocky paths it is great, I think! It gives some self-confidence, some feeling that you CAN do it, some sporty condition and some new hobby =))

And yes, I must have strong and supple soles for doing that. I don't know what feet I'll get, so this gallery helps me to see progress too.
Thank you for warm support! :-*

Great Polina!

Poline, Great idea and project. I can't wait to see weekly or even daily updates.
It's great you have such a passion for barefooting :) and that you want to get your soles inured so you can handle any surface.
How tough are your soles now?
Especially since you been putting cigarettes out with no effort, it even looked like you enjoyed it. Hope you include cigarettes in your time line.
I also want to see how they will get blacker and blacker when they get rougher as they get tougher.
Good luck, bftlvr2008

Thanks everybody :-)

bftlvr2008, It's very pleasantly to read your comment=)
Now my soles are not very tough, just at some places:) But I suppose they must be tougher to stand the barefoot tests))
To tell the truth, cigarettes were not so difficult test for me, it's because of I put it on enough hard places on my feet. And sure, I will do some experiments with cigarettes and aroma sticks.
I don't know yet how black my soles will be, so it will be a surprise))
