El Robertson from Bristol, started her barefoot journey a year ago and now vows to never buy a pair of shoes again, claiming they're unnatural.

El, who was always barefoot as a child, said: "Going barefoot was an awakening of how I should be and how well it works for me. "I feel like it is quite misunderstood as people always tell me how it's dangerous and irresponsible. Although I feel more secure and confident without shoes on, I'm also able to get proper feedback from the ground. El Robertson, 25, now walks around barefoot ( @el.ventures.uk / CATERS NEWS) El Roberston out walking Snowdon whilst barefoot ( David Valek / CATERS NEWS) "My feet are a lot more grippy than shoes on the rocky ground. I always almost go barefoot." El does own a few pairs of trainers if she needs to look nice for an occasion, but for every day, she'll either wear her barefoot shoes - which are 'minimalist' shoes that often fit each individual toe - or go entirely barefoot. When she's out hiking in the countryside she nearly always barefoot, along with foraging in the woods and on grass - and will drive without shoes. But she says she has been asked by supermarket staff to wear shoes in-store. El added: "When I go supermarket shopping I have to wear shoes though as shops don't like me in there barefoot. "I have been into my local ASDA and have been asked to leave and put shoes on. I think the bottom of my feet are probably clean){kind=link}
