As I see it, there's only one true argument against being barefoot, and that's: what do you do in the winter?! Well, we can look back at our ancestors, who used animal skins--moccasins and mukluks, but they were not waterproof. In our modern world, we don't have lovely powder everywhere; we have relatively warm roads and sidewalks and de-icing salt, that make that beautiful hue of brown and gray snow and slush. A serious winter needs serious waterproofing.
Vivobarefoot has some winter boots that are waterproof, and so do several other minimalist companies. Unfortunately, like the title of my post in a previous blogsite, "minimalist is maximalist in price." Most of these boots are $200 minimum. Now, if you already own a pair of thick-soled and thick-heeled boots like I do, you can create your own minimal winter, waterproof boots. Please check out this blogsite, and, take a crack at changing your boots into minimalist winterwear:
