I notice quite a few people finding my blog by googling "going barefoot to class" so to help out the students having trouble I've wrote a short step by step guide.
Step one: Remove shoes.
Step two: Take normal transit to school without shoes. Drive barefoot, walk, hop on the bus, have someone drive you... What ever floats your boat. Just don't bring the shoes with you! (hard to back out when you have no alternative).
Step three: Breath.
Step four: Walk to class with your head up. Don't shrink down, don't avoid people, you're in the right and doing absolutely nothing wrong.
Some other newbie tips:
- Barefoot sandals may help you to gain some confidence as less people tend to notice you're barefoot.
- If you need a distraction use one. Put your nose in a book, call a friend while you're walking to class, walk and talk to a supportive friend, put some head phones in; people are less likely to confront you if you look busy and even if they try you're less likely to notice.
If you have questions or even further advice you're welcome to put them in the comments section.
