Is the Newest Barefooter in Town a Media Writer?
Yesterday morning, I had an interesting and rewarding meeting with Canada’s Sun Media Corporation feature writer Thane Burnett. In the past 10 years or so, I have been interviewed by numerous reporters but I must admit interviewing with Thane was by far one of the most refreshing experiences of this kind in recent months.
When Thane contacted me to propose the article, he explained he wanted to do a cross-media piece focused on the urban barefooting experience here in the city; which would potentially include writing and video reporting for the different Sun Media publications which includes the Sun family of newspapers, Canoe.com and perhaps Sun TV. Needless to say, both the focus of the story, as well as the potential wide reach, got my attention.
Every Day Should be Like Yesterday…
Yesterday was one of those “perfect” barefoot days which make you really enjoy and realize it’s a great lifestyle choice.
I’m in “summer mode” so I’m working from home these days (with a lighter workload) and I had my usual summer work attire on: polo shirt and a pair of cargo shorts; barefoot of course.
I needed a haircut and I was eager to see my hair stylist’s new shop he’s opened a few blocks from home; so I decided to walk there at about 11 am. Joe knows me; so it’s no surprise for him to see me show up in bare feet. However, he has new staff in the new place, so I didn’t know what to expect. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by the receptionist with a broad smile and she asked me to take a seat for a moment while Joe finished a phone call – no mention of my bare feet an no odd looks (need I pinch myself?)
New Shirt Collection at Barefoot Planet

I’m proud to announce that I just finished my new shirt design entitled “Free Your Soles”. It’s inspired by the feeling of freedom that one gets when barefooted. I hope everyone likes it! Please check it out at Barefoot Planet.
As usual, I welcome feedback and suggestions for future designs.
Keep ‘em bare!

No Shoes? No Problem!

… According to the Globe and Mail…
The Globe and Mail, one of the main national Canadian newspapers published a nice – overall positive – article on barefooting entitled: “No Shoes, No Problem!”; featuring yours truly, along a couple of more Canadian fellow barefooters from Windsor, Ontario and Vancouver, British Columbia.
