Is hiking barefoot more fun than wearing heavy alpine boots? - alpine hiking boots

Some time ago I went for a long stay in the Indian Himalayas. I know many of you will not even consider barefoot up here! But believe me, it was so funny! I do not wear shoes in my backpack. I enjoyed every minute journey on the soles of bare feet ... The path to the source of the Ganges, was a special experience: 36 km (18 miles one way) from the top station of ways, two nights in a tent ... Countless rock climbing, paddling in the freezing cold ... Small creek crossing patches of snow ... Many interesting impressions of my bare feet, well done! Yes, it's all about is sensual experience - is what the travel and barefoot so special! Feel the raw granite beneath my feet, through fields of mud, snow patches and streams offer a drink ... tired feet are unknown to me, even after several miles of brisk walking! It is a great advantage of barefoot ... And that's not the way that the temperature of the experiment: The nights are pretty cold up there (when the temperature drops to -2 ° C), but during the daytime, things change quickly when the first rays touch the ground! It's amazing to feel the difference between a part of the length of shadows and sunshine! I spent the night in an open tent with other walkers. The morning was very cold, and admired then a cup of chai, a girl from Tel Aviv, my ability to "naked" in the cold! He said he wants to be barefoot, and it assumes that after several weeks of travel barefoot, she will be able to do things like, without worrying about his feet. On my return I went to a couple in their early 30s. The man had looked a little surprised to see, tanned my bare feet, but his wife gave me a big smile and said: "Pies Descalzos - that's great." What do you think: Is it more fun than naked foot with the alpine big shoes?
