Ankles can get strained if you're not used to being in bare feet. The heel sits lower and can cause the achilles tendon to stretch more compared with being in shoes. It's more noticeable when you walk in sand or soft soil in bare feet, as the heel sinks more deeply compared with wearing sandals or shoes. It may take some time to get used to it or one may need to do some excercises that gently stretch the achilles tendon before taking walks in bare feet.
My ankles are much stronger now since I started barefooting. When I wasn't used to it, they were weak and would sometimes twist. I don't have these problems anymore since I've been going barefoot for years.

When you feel pain in ankles, just put them in warm water with a pinch of salt in it, so that the water remains warm for longer period and also softens the skin/tissue.

sore ankles and feet.
epsom salt and warm water for about 20 minutes does wonders.
plus as has been mentioned above, if you are not used to wearing flipflops, sandals, or going barefoot, it is going to take a while to strengthen them enoug without shoe support.

Old post, but I do have a question about feet. I have tried numerous items for toe fungus...Listerine, apple cider vinegar, WD40...yes WD40. At least my toes don't squeak anymore, but the toe fungus persisted. I've also tried over the counter items and even had a prescription from a Dr....nothing helped. The latest venture is with Tea Tree Oil. On the internet it said it was the treatment to beat all treatments. We'll see. Has anyone had any success with Tea Tree Oil? It doesn't stop me from being barefoot as much as possible, but I am self-conscious about it.

I contracted toe nail fungus from work. I didn't wear shower shoes (flip flops) back then and we had two guys that had jungle rot from the tours in RVN.
I took a prescribed medication for 18 months with periodic blood tests to ensure it wasn't killing my liver. It almost took it ALL away but a little remains ... very little on one toe. The podiatrist would not let me take anymore of that medication so I'm stuck with what I have ... but it's managable and hardly noticible ... just to me actually!
Good luck with your tea treatment. I don't use the shower or anyone's shower without flip flops on. Don't want the Prof to get it, my kids, grandkids or friends ... maybe paranoid but just wanna be safe!

Thanks Prof. I didn't really want to do the prescription as, like you said, it required blood work to monitor liver function, but I was hoping it would work. Hoping the tea tree oil works better. It got some pretty good reviews.

I'm taking an external prescription for my toes. No blood work. The problem with the meds is it takes a long time to work, do to the slow nail growth. My Dermatologist said that Vicks vapor rub also works and to try and soak your feet in water and white vinegar for twenty minutes a day. I guess the vinegar goes after the fungus and softens the nail. If nothing else the nails will grow out quicker. Hope this helps. Mark

Thanks Mark. I may actually try the vinegar soak again. It couldn't hurt. Then after the soak, when the nail is soft, apply the Tea Tree Oil. Like you said, it takes a long time due to the slow nail growth. I've only been doing the TTO for a little over a month, so I'm at least hoping to see some improvement in the next month or so. That will at least give me the incentive to keep going.

Well, my Dad has lived with this for 60 years (he is 79). I've had it 35 years. Due to scar tissue from ingrown toenail surgury (left big toe at 17, right at 19) I'm told the pills won't work. About 10 years ago I looked into a study. The podiatrist said the only cure was a treatment to kill off the nail. No nail, no fungus. I've done soaks, which let me peel off the infected nail and treat the nail bed. Works for a while but always comes back. Good luck Rob. I hope you don't have any scar tissue on your toes.

Have a nice NUDE day !!

Hi, I recently came across an herbal treatment, I was skeptical but the wife said why not. It is an asortment of herbs that you soak in apple cider vinigar and then soak your foot dailey after a shower for about 2 min. It works slowley but I have been at it since Apr 1 and the ugly black nail on my right great toe has moved away form the bed by 3/8 of an inch! The tincture is supposed to be good for 2 months and if it keeps working I will order more in June. The nail fungus soak contains equisetum, mentha, lavendula, and eucalyptus. www.longcreekherbs.com

Bob and Mike - thanks for the input. I did have surgery for an ingrown toenail myself. I don't remember which toe, so there may be some scar tissue, but as long as I can make some improvement, I'll be happy.

Being barefoot is the first step towards nudism/naturism. In the Sierra Nevada, I'm usually barefoot. Why stop at just bare feet, though? If it's good to be barefoot, let's go for bare-body, too.

I'm currently going nutz! I had foot surgery last week and my left foot is completely bandaged and wrapped from toes to ankle!
I'm not covered anywhere else on my body but I still don't feel completely naked! LOL
Can't wait to get this bandage off and both nude feet on the ground!
Loves being naked. Plays well with others!

FP - I hope your foot heals quickly to get that bandage off. I know the feeling...I hate to even wear flip flops because I don't feel completely naked.
