I was kicked out of Asda because my FEET broke their dress code… I know it divides opinion but I couldn’t care less
A WOMAN who lives life barefoot – and has even climbed Snowden with no shoes – revealed the odd reason she was kicked out of Asda.
El Robertson, of Cardiff, revealed that she was asked to leave the store as her feet didn’t match the dress code.
El made a major life change after a hiking trip with her boyfriend, when she waded through a stream barefoot.
After realising how easy it was to hike without shoes, the 25-year-old never looked back, and walks barefoot everywhere.
But the folks at Asda were clearly not pleased with El’s choice – or lack thereof – of footwear, and she was asked to leave the shop.
She said: “People don’t like the sight of feet, they’re not used to it, but I see no reason why they shouldn’t be out; it’s not nudity; it’s not sexual.”
Despite some backlash, El has not looked back and continues to walk through life with no shoes.
Since ditching her trainers, she said her feet have widened and become stronger – and her pinky toe no longer curls inwards.
She even called shoes “foot prisons”, and opts for minimalist shoes when it gets too cold.
Meanwhile, one mum revealed she lets her children walk around completely barefoot – despite people saying it’s dangerous.
The US mum-of-four, Mara, explained why in a TikTok video that has been viewed over 600k times.
Mara, who lives in Texas, often shares her mum opinions online, and the fact she lets her youngest, Indy, walk around barefoot raised questions.
A viewer asked: “With no shoes do you ever worry about him stepping on glass?”
The mum explained that she never worried about him stepping on things and that if he did, she would simply clean his foot and let him continue playing.
Many users were concerned about Indy, aged one, stepping on something sharp like broken glass, or syringes.
One user said: “So if he stepped on a dirty drug needle you would just clean him up and let him go play…”
“What if he gets a splinter do you even care?” Asked a viewer, to which Mara replied: “No his body will push it out.”
A third user asked: “What about in summer when the concrete is like blazing hot?”
The mum reassured viewers in a separate video and said as the Texan heat gets warmer, Indy will be wearing shoes outside to make sure his feet do not burn.
