Public shaving was applied to (true or alleged) collaborators after the Allied liberated occupied territories from the Nazi troops. Forcing people to go barefoot has been used as a relatively effortless and more subtle form of humiliation in most past and present civilized cultures, primarily using the visual contrast to the standard form of appearance while also creating some level of physical discomfort. The exposure of bare feet often served as an indicator for imprisonment and slavery throughout ancient as well as modern history. Even today prisoners officially have to go barefoot in many countries of the world and are also presented in court and showcased to the public unshod.

Beginning in July 1942, Jews and non-Jews were separated. Women mainly worked in the sorting barracks, where they repaired and cleaned military clothing delivered by freight trains, while most of the men worked at the gravel mine. There were no work uniforms, and inmates who lost their own shoes were forced to go barefoot or scavenge them from dead prisoners. Water was rationed, and punishments were regularly delivered at roll-calls.

Women would often go barefoot and some went braless. The idea of multiculturalism also became very popular; a lot of style inspiration was drawn from traditional clothing in Nepal, India, Bali, Morocco and African countries. Because inspiration was being drawn from all over the world, there was increasing separation of style; clothing pieces often had similar elements and created similar silhouettes, but there was no real "uniform". Fringed buck-skin vests, flowing caftans, the "lounging" or "hostess" pajamas were also popular.

It has been a standard feature for common citizens in civil societies to wear shoes ever since ancient times. On the contrary slave codes often included that slaves had to remain barefoot as a matter of principle. For example, the Cape Town slave code stated that "Slaves must go barefoot and must carry passes." This was the case in the majority of states that abolished slavery later in history, as most images from the respective historical period suggest that slaves were barefoot.

During running, shoes were found to reduce swing (non-weight- bearing) phase leg speed, attenuate some shock, and encourage a rearfoot strike pattern. The long-term effect of these gait changes due to footwear on growth and development are currently unknown. The impact of footwear on gait should be considered when assessing children's gait and evaluating the effect of shoe or in-shoe interventions. Children who go barefoot have a lower incidence of flat feet and deformity while having greater foot flexibility than children who wear shoes.

The term 'Shoobie' is used by residents of resort communities in the southern New Jersey Shore, from Long Beach Island to Cape May. The term shoobie was originally used to describe day-trippers who took the train to the shore. The train offered pre- packed lunches that came in shoe boxes; hence the term "shoobie." However, over time the meaning has changed to include tourists who wear sneakers or shoes on the beach, as opposed to most locals who go barefoot on the sand.

Conjunto São Mateus (GO-011) is a complex of caves measuring 20500 meters long and considered until recently as the largest in Brazil, being replaced by the Toca da Boa Vista. It is located inside Terra Ronca State Park, in the speleologic district of São Domingos, State of Goiás. It is one of the richest in speleothems including the famous "Hall of the Pearls", where visitors should go barefoot to avoid the transposition of sediment. It houses the typical fauna of the caves, including the blind catfish.

By far the messiest. An audience member was sent to the top of a playground slide which ended up in a large vat filled with hundreds of gallons of whipped cream and a red beach ball made to look like a cherry. Participants would first remove their socks, shoes and other valuables, and go barefoot up the ladder to the top of the slide. Then the victim was usually allowed to choose whether to go head first or feet first, and would then set off down into the vat, following a count of three.

Forcing prisoners or other captives to go barefoot often induces a persistent consciousness of submission, as they cannot relieve this often adverse situation on their own. The effect of intimidation is often compounded even further if the bare feet also serve as the target for methods of corporal punishment such as bastinado, which is the case in a number of countries where prisoners are regularly forced to stay barefoot. As the practical effects are achieved effortlessly and without expenses, keeping prisoners, slaves or other captives barefoot has been cross-culturally practiced ever since antiquity.

It was often used as a visual indicator of subservient standing within a social structure and to display the imbalance in power, and was therefore routinely imposed as a visual identifier on slaves and prisoners who had often been divested of rights and liberties in a similar manner. Exploiting its socio- cultural significance, people have been forced to go barefoot as a formal shame sanction and for public humiliation as well. Keeping prisoners barefoot is common practice in several countries of today. Foot whipping therefore poses a distinct threat and is often particularly dreaded by potential victims (usually prisoners).

It is known that Dot did wear climbing boots for alpine climbing in ice and snow, but still preferred to go barefoot whenever possible. Not one for rules, Dot made some clandestine climbs at night, over the arch of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, with a group known as ‘Night Climbers of Sydney’. In 1968, Dot took a crash course in Spanish and in 1969, organised an Australian expedition of nine climbers to the Andes. They made 27 different ascents (13 of these were first ascents) of 19 mountains in Peru's Cordillera Vilcabamba, mostly over 5,500 metres.

Forcing captives to go barefoot hereby constituted the earliest means of visually marking prisoners in terms of a prison uniform, while the practice itself dates back to antiquity when wearing shoes had become standard. Today keeping prisoners barefoot is common practice in China, Zimbabwe, Thailand, Uganda, Iran, Pakistan, India, Congo, Malawi, Rwanda, Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), and North Korea among others. The ISIS usually deprives their captives of footwear, presumably for identification purposes opposite the booted combatants as well as to prevent resistance and escape. In Thailand, a defendant must strictly be barefoot in court during the penal proceedings.

The word Cynosarges means the place of the white dog. Later Cynics also sought to turn the word to their advantage, as a later commentator explained: > There are four reasons why the Cynics are so named. First because of the > indifference of their way of life, for they make a cult of indifference and, > like dogs, eat and make love in public, go barefoot, and sleep in tubs and > at crossroads. The second reason is that the dog is a shameless animal, and > they make a cult of shamelessness, not as being beneath modesty, but as > superior to it.

Even when suffering neediness in ancient history, simple forms of footwear were handmade from available materials, while today simple shoes are sufficiently inexpensive to be purchased in practically every part of the world. Forcing a subdued person to go barefoot is therefore used to showcase his or her deprivation of the most basic rights and natural liberties. It hereby displays the subjugation of the person under individuals with sufficient authority to impose and enforce certain living conditions. By abiding it also establishes that the person does not have the self-determination, means or power to resist.

Since the latter half of the 20th century, there has been scientific and medical interest in the benefits and harm involved in barefoot running. The 1970s, in particular, saw a resurgent interest in jogging in western countries and modern running shoes were developed and marketed.Example foot pressure Since then, running shoes have been blamed for the increased incidence of running injuries and this has prompted some runners to go barefoot. However, the American Podiatric Medical Association has stated that there is not enough evidence to support such claims and has urged would-be barefoot runners to consult a podiatrist before doing so.

She is a good little girl, but has lost three pocket handkerchiefs and a pinafore. She questions Tabby Kitten and Sally Henny-penny about them, but they know nothing (especially since Tabby Kitten licks her paw, and Sally Henny-penny flaps back into the barn clucking, "I go barefoot, barefoot, barefoot!" neither of which is very helpful).

Arbeitserziehungslager Fehrbellin:Zwangsarbeiterinnen im Straflager der Gestapo (translation: Work education camp Fehrbellin - female forced laboureres in the Gestapo punishment camp), S. 26ff. This viable method to mark and identify prisoners is still employed by authorities in many countries of today. Seizing the footwear and making an individual go barefoot by constraint is also commonly used in situations where captives cannot be outfitted with identifiable prisoner's clothing due to the circumstances. In those cases forcibly keeping the respective individuals in their bare feet is used as an option, if they are required to be flagged and singled out in an easily obtainable and sufficiently unambiguous manner.

Going barefoot, on the other hand, showcased a very low social status, often being an unfree person. Using the meaning of shoes to display a respectable social status and authority, people have sometimes been issued with footwear even ceremonially. This aspect is mentioned in the Bible, the Parable of the Prodigal Son quotes: "But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put [it] on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on [his] feet ()". Forcing individuals to go barefoot by taking away their footwear and preventing or banning shoes from being worn therefore has the reversed meaning.

By keeping the female prison population barefoot their submission under the prevalent patriarchic system was pointed out even within contemporary prisons. This measure also conformed to the stance of the criminal courts, by whom prisoners were regarded as official slaves of the state. By keeping convicted women barefoot their status was reduced to equal that of former actual slaves, who had been commonly forced to go unshod as well. As going shoeless is a social taboo in many regions of the United States (see above), being forced to go barefoot amounted not only to humiliation and discomfort, but to extensive social degradation for the incarcerated women.

Another well-known mela, the month-long Bhilat Dev is organised every year near Sirali in Malapur. Before the mela starts, the Nathji (Pandit) go barefoot and carry tippara (made from bamboo and used to keep the cloth of God) on their heads from Khudia (the new provincial Village) to the Tapti River Bank Betul district - a distance of about , to wash their worshipping cloths then return the same way over a fixed period of seven days. In a tradition that has existed for hundreds of years, during the journey people from the villages wait for the tippara on a fixed day and thereafter organize a mela.

Additionally, state funding for the apprenticeship program has increased by more than $500,000 under Barefoot's chairmanship of the Senate's Education Appropriations Committee. Students Know Before You Go Barefoot introduced a bill entitled, "Students Know Before You Go" to the 2015 legislative session. Senate Bill 536 directs the State Education Assistance Authority to provide information to students and parents on the cost of college degree programs, the likelihood of employment and the average salary associated with those degrees. The bill also directs the NCSEAA to provide students and parents with information on projected employment needs of the state, college majors that may fulfill those needs and the associated salary ranges for those areas of employment.

A 1991 study found that children who wore shoes were three times more likely to have flat feet than those who did not, and suggested that wearing shoes in early childhood can be detrimental to the longitudinal arch of the foot. Children who habitually go barefoot were found to have stronger feet, with better flexibility and mobility, fewer deformities like flat feet or toes that curve inwards, and fewer complaints. Walking barefoot enables a more natural gait, eliminating the hard heel strike and instead, allowing for a rocking motion of the foot from heel to toe. Similarly, barefoot running usually involves an initial forefoot strike, instead of on the rear of the foot, generating smaller collision forces.

As such, General Okoye has gold bands and rings while the other Dora Milaje wear silver. The costumes for T'Challa combined his role as king and as the head of the military, including combining a kente cloth cloak with military boots. Carter also used distinct colors and patterns for each of Wakanda's tribes, such as green with shells for the River Tribe based on the Suri; blue with wood for the Border Tribe; black with royal purple for the Black Panther and the Royal Palace; plums and purples for the Merchant Tribe in reference to the Tuareg; and ochre for the Mining Tribe inspired by the Himba. Three out of every five people in Wakanda go barefoot.

Globally, athlete's foot affects about 15% of the population. Tinea pedis is caused by fungi such as Epidermophyton floccosum or fungi of the genus Trichophyton including T. rubrum and T. mentagrophytes. These fungi are typically transmitted in moist communal areas where people go barefoot, such as around swimming pools or in showers, and require a warm moist environment like the inside of a shoe to incubate. Fungal infection of the foot may be acquired (or reacquired) in many ways, such as by walking in an infected locker room, by using an infested bathtub, by sharing a towel used by someone with the disease, by touching the feet with infected fingers (such as after scratching another infected area of the body), or by wearing fungi- contaminated socks or shoes.

The Carmelite Order is one order with two branches, the Carmelites of the Ancient Observance (O'Carm) and the Discalced Carmelites (OCD). They are not two separate orders. The Discalced became a separate branch of the order under Teresa of Ávila, so as to return to the more austere and contemplative life lived by the first Carmelites, and eventually by the end of the 17th century the Discalced developed their own secular third order of the Teresian Carmel; .Otilio Rodriguez, OCD, Appendix I: Its Origin and History, page 131, in Michael D. Griffin, OCD, Commentary on the Rule of Life (superseded) (The Growth in Carmel Series; Hubertus, Wisconsin: Teresian Charism Press, 1981), pages 127-36 "Discalced", meaning "shoeless", signifies this greater austerity, although seculars do not actually go barefoot.

Here different levels of physical discomfort can be added, such as having to hold heavy objects, go barefoot (see below) or kneeling on an uneven surface. Like physical punishment and harsh hazing, these have become controversial in most modern societies, in many cases leading to legal restrictions and/or (sometimes voluntary) abolishment. Paris, 1944: French women accused of collaboration with Nazis had their heads shaved and were paraded through the streets barefoot. Head shaving can be a humiliating punishment prescribed in law,"Article 87 ... shall be sentenced to flogging, having his head shaven, and one year of exile...", Islamic Penal Code of the Islamic Republic of Iran but also something done as "mob justice" \- a stark example of which was the thousands of European women who had their heads shaved in front of cheering crowds in the wake of World War II,Shorn Women: Gender and Punishment in Liberation France, as punishment for associating with occupying Nazis during the war.

Due to the fact that protective, as well as ornamental footwear, has consistently been a standard clothing feature since the era of ancient civilizations, the much more uncommon semblance of bare feet tends to stand out in apparent contrast to the usual public appearance. Hereby a certain degree of attention and curiosity is typically generated in an observer, which is often purposefully used to mark certain individuals as unfree.
