[nfb-talk] should blind people go barefoot?

[Ray Foret jr]

Well, no reason why you shouldn't enjoy going barefooted now is there?

I certainly do go barefooted; outside as well as inside!!!

Too bad I don't have an actual yard.

The Constantly BAREFOOTED Ray

I have walked bare feet. In thery it's a good idea. My problem was
that it caused sighted people around to freak even more then they
usually did. I remember my dad getting really upset that someone had
seen me walking about bare foot.

Do other people get problems with general public freaking out when
they go out barefoot?
