When are people going to admit that this child has textbook Fetal Alcohol Syndrome features? Run a search and a side by side comparison the numerous facial drawings and photos of FAS children. It is undeniable.

“You really don’t? You really don’t understand why walking on sidewalks, in parks, and other public places where peoples’ germs lurk without shoes is unsanitary? You really don’t understand how your chances of getting an infection or at least getting hurt rise astronomically?”

Lauren? If you walk on DIRT with SHOES ON and bring that dirt into a restaurant, its the same as walking on DIRT with BAREFEET and bringing it into the restaurant…
No more or less unsanitary…
Your feet soles and shoe bottoms are EQUAL in dirtiness. I take a bath everyday, my feet arent dirty, and how many people dont watch where they are stepping anyway?
Furthermore if you walk barefoot enough your soles adapt and you wont get cuts etc…
If you own a pair of lace up shoes, they are far more germy and infection prone then barefeet, as you never WASH inside those shoes. In fact you never wash SHOES period!
Shoes are the worst thing for you. Athletes Foot (and many other infections) is UNHEARD of in barefoot societies.

Again Lauren why do barefeet disgust you so much?

“Lauren?
China and India are not third world honey.”

Oh, well by all means! Let’s make like China and India, reproduce like rabbits to the point where our government limits the number of children each family can have, leave baby girls on the streets to die, and have abortions once we find out we’re expecting baby girls so that the male to female ratio is completely out of whack. What a fabulous idea!

“There is NO law in any state in the USA that prohibits you from going barefoot into any establishment. Its a lie! You can SUE any establishment for tossing you out if they make you wear shoes.”

Well, that is the American way, isn’t it? To sue the pants off people whose rules we don’t like simply because we don’t respect their simple requests for sanitation and the health of the people around them? I currently work part-time in the restaurant industry to make spending money for school, and if a barefoot person other than an infant came into the restaurant where I work, I would go right to the GM to have them either go home and change into shoes or not come back at all. And if they have a problem with it, they can call corporate and talk about how they were walking around a public restaurant where other people were trying to enjoy their meals and not have to worry about seeing someone else’s nasty bare feet.

“I dont understand why people are grossed out by barefeet!?”

You really don’t? You really don’t understand why walking on sidewalks, in parks, and other public places where peoples’ germs lurk without shoes is unsanitary? You really don’t understand how your chances of getting an infection or at least getting hurt rise astronomically? I had to take off my shoes in a dressing room not long ago and had a needle on the floor go right through my foot as I was trying to get my shoes back on. There are certain places (at home, the beach, a friend’s house, etc.) where bare feet are considered appropriate. Other than that, it is gross and unnecessarily unsanitary. It’s not that difficult to understand.

“God made and designed our feet perfectly, WITHOUT SHOES!”

God also didn’t design us with clothes. I guess we should all just walk around naked and die of hypothermia and heat stroke instead of wearing clothes to protect us from the elements?

Lauren?
China and India are not third world honey.

I dont understand why people are grossed out by barefeet!? Everyone has two feet and they do not need shoes. Are you disgusted by your own feet? Why, may I ask? I think people on the most part are conditioned to think certain ways without really looking at why they feel the way they do. Kinda like people who grow up to not like fish or think the crusts on bread are gross. They’ve been taught that by their parents.
Its all CONDITIONING! So think for yourself.
What is wrong with barefeet?
NOTHING! God made and designed our feet perfectly, WITHOUT SHOES!

Wow!! People are getting very upset it seems! I didn’t want to put shoes on my baby, but I lived in a heavily wooded area and my poor daughters feet were bitten up by ants, and mosiquitos, so to protect her I put shoes on her outside, but I did enjoy her chubby lil barefeet as much as possible. I have also heard that it is better to let kids go barefoot until walking, but all Docs say different things, and times do change. I personally cant wear shoes. I have so many problems with my feet that I can only wear flip flops, and if I absolutely have to wear an actual shoe I have to take them off after an hour to “stretch out”. I even got married wearing flip flops! I guess shoes really comes down to personal choice. Does anyone remember Britney walking into a rest stop bathroom barefoot? My guess is she just likes bare feet!

“Shoes do nothing good for our feet and in countries where people go barefoot all the time there are no foot problems and very few colds.”

I’m going to take a wild guess that these countries are at least second if not third-world, are they not? Where disease runs rampant and the birth and death rates are among the highest in the world? Yeah, following their lead is a brilliant idea. Walking around with no shoes isn’t unsanitary at all.
Whomever runs that site is making themselves look like a bunch of loons, especially since they have untrue information posted. Restaurants CAN throw you out if you have no shoes on, and they have every right to do so. Do you have any idea how disgusting it would be to walk around a public restaurant in the vicinity of other peoples’ food? I guess common sense isn’t so common in some people after all.

I agree, he probably isnt wearing any shoes yet because he hasnt started walking yet.
Now at 23 I have problems (cramps in my calf) because I wore shoes too early and it changed the way my foot was suppose to grow. So get those shoes of your babies! You put them on just to make them look stylish? Hello? Health is more important.

I don’t understand what’s the problem if a 10 months old baby doesn’t wear shoes!!?? My daughter started wearing shoes when she began walking, I think the most important thing for babies is to feel as much comfortable as possible…if they don’t walk, why they need to use shoes?
I agree with Liz: “It seems people always have something to complain about her and her way of raising her kids”
I’m not a fan of Britney, I don’t like her at all, but I think that’s unfair to judge her for WHATEVER she does…
Just my opinion.

That house is beautiful, but a bad idea since it’s so wide open.

It seems people always have something to complain about her and her way of raising her kids. Jayden isn’t walking probably. I never put shoes on my kids until they start walking, only socks if it is cold, which is rare, since I live in LA like Britney, it is always warm here. Ped here doesn’t recommend it either. And a few weeks ago Jude Law was walking with her bare feet kids on the streets of London, nobody said a single word about it.
