I have enjoyed a barefoot lifestyle for nearly 7 years now. During that time, my longest barefoot streak was about 100 days while I was on maternity leave. I also have several streaks of two weeks or more when I'm on vacation or away from the office.
I am fortunate to live in Texas, where it really is possible to go barefoot 24/7...outside of work. I routinely do all of my shopping and other daily public activities barefoot.
Take care and keep em bare!

I live in the Atlanta area, but was in Jacksonville for the 4th of July weekend and was barefoot beginning Thursday, 7/3, until noon on Monday, 7/7. That is probably one of the longest stretches for me. I was at the beach, so bare feet there weren't really a big deal, but I went to restaurants and everywhere else in the area totally shoe-free. It was awesome. I had to put on flips on 7/7 to meet my son for lunch. My family is very anti-barefoot.

During one summer I was barefoot for 20 days. I was a high school student and was working as a lifeguard and artists model so I didn't really need shoes or socks. Currently my partner and I go barefoot at home all the time, including workouts on the bowflex. Much more comfortable.

I am a SAHM in Denmark and I have gone several months barefoot, but I didn't keep track of the exact time. I am pretty much always barefoot unless there is danger of frostbite.

I do not have a record of days, like some lucky people do, but I go barefoot whenever and as often as I can.
I would welcome and advise that people give going barefoot a chance, it is very freeing!

I have been barefoot from Friday after leaving work thru Monday morning when I returned. I work weekends but can get away with being barefoot then. I managed to go into Subway for lunch and buy gas and drive all barefoot. I am barefoot as much as possible. I live in Pasadena, Maryland. When I am not barefoot I am in flip flops. I never wear shows.

For me it's probably about the same as you. I do try to stay barefoot as much and as long as possible. Generally, I'll only wear flip flops for maybe 2 hours total out of a 168 hour week. Some weeks, it's not even that long.
We just got back from our vacation in the Bahamas. I was barefoot the entire time. With the 2 1/2 days before we left, and the 4 days after we got back I was barefoot for 16 1/2 days straight. That includes boarding and flying on airplanes and in airports, as well as everything on the island. I did have my flips with me, just in case, but they stayed packed away the whole time.
I may have had a couple of longer stretches when I was younger, but this was the most recent.

Over a weekend, from Friday when I leave work till Sunday when I go to church. The answer would be 41 hours. I work at a steel mill where steel toed shoes are required.

What is the longest I have gone barefoot? Interesting question because of its various mitigating factors. Including several conferences and meetings when I had to be shod, I have been barefoot for approximately 5 years. The times I was shod can be measured in hours (approximately 20-25 hours over the past 5 years).
The times being barefoot include business and pleasure. My job is a pastor. Everyone around town knows me because of my bare feet. On the few occasions that I had to wear foot ware, people asked me what was wrong.
Having said all this, I have a question for the questioner: What is so important, other than giving encouragement to others who are or are thinking about bare footing as a lifestyle, to glean information about how much (often) people are barefoot?

The longest I have gone at a stretch without wearing flips at all is 3 or 4 weeks. I haven't worn closed-toed shoes at all in nearly three years. I'm a stay-at-home mom who also teaches private music lessons on the side. Being barefoot is a regular thing for me and I have never had any trouble going anywhere without shoes. I wear flips once a week to church because I don't want to be a stumbling-block to a couple of older ladies, but that's only 2 hours out of my whole week and my own decision (I could go barefoot to church if I really wanted to) so I don't mind :-)
My younger daughter is nearly 14 months old and has never worn shoes. My older daughter is nearly 3 years old and wears shoes when she wants to, but that usually only lasts about 5 minutes before she wants to take them off and be barefoot again. Both girls walked at 9 months old also. I carry them in a sling or put them in the stroller if the pavement is too hot or otherwise questionable. My older daughter is quickly learning what to avoid stepping on and is very good about telling me if her feet get too hot or if she steps on something poky.
My husband is also an avid barefooter though he wears shoes more often than I do since he sometimes works outside of the home and one of his clients is a bit podophobic. We live near Seattle, WA so year-round barefooting is possible and we have never had any issues while barefoot in Seattle itself.
Barefooting is a wonderful lifestyle! I wouldn't have it any other way!

For one week straight after graduating HS. I went from NYC to Ohio. Went everywhere barefoot (shopping, restaurants, etc.). Next time was 4 days straight when I went on vacation to LA and San Francisco. I was disappointed in seeing so few barefooters even in/near Venice Beach. No problems in Century City Mall and one other one in West Hollywood. I've spent weekends barefootin' around the Village in NYC with an ex-gf who also went barefoot everywhere!

So far, I have been barefoot for about 3 months, minus a few small times where i had no choice, it has been very very nice. Going barefoot is one of the smartest, healthiest choices you can make, it will improve your circulation, fix joint problems throught legs and back, rid your of foot fungus and rid you of common foot ailments. I am a student in NY, and the rules will not let me go barefoot, but I am working on fixing that or finding ways around it. I hope you continue going barefoot, the benefits will astound you.

I wear skiboots in winter, bike shoes year round, and my priest prefers I wear shoes to church. Other than that, I'm almost always barefoot.
Since I've been too busy to bike lately, I suppose I've been 2 to 3 weeks without shoes...

I've always hated the way the ground feels under my feet, so the longest I am without is when i'm in the shower. I even wear socks and slippers to bed! I just have very very tender feet and I hate when they touch anything.

I'd have to say as soon as my feet developed in the womb, throughout the trauma of passing into this world, until the first day my mother put shoes on my feet. I was too young to remember how long it lasted, but I'm sure that was the longest I ever went without shoes.
