The Barefoot Community encompasses a broad range of individuals who identify as barefooters and choose to live their lives or go Barefoot for non-fetish reasons. These reasons can include medical conditions, Barefoot Running, ^[1]health benefits, spiritual beliefs, and self-expression.

Members of the barefoot community come from diverse backgrounds, representing various races, sexual orientations, religions, political ideologies, social statuses, careers, and abilities. This diversity fosters a supportive environment where individuals unite despite their differences.

Several organizations have been established to support members of the barefoot community. Activist organizations such as ^[2]Barefoot Is Legal ^[3]actively combat discrimination, while advocacy and support organizations like ^[4] The Society For Barefoot Living and The Barefoot Alliance^[5] provide resources and community. These organizations help members navigate the stigma and discrimination often faced due to misunderstandings, misconceptions about non-existent laws or health codes, and general public offense. Discrimination and prejudice remain significant challenges for the barefoot community, akin to the struggles faced by many other marginalized groups in the past.
