Enjoying barefoot walking but considering social and biological limiations

I enjoy walking barefoot and almost always do it in a nearby park. Its not special barefoot park, just usual one. I do it in summer, sometimes late spring and early autumn. As expected, i dont have enough time to walk in a park every day so usually do it only in weekends. My favourite surface is sand (as i guess for most people here), second is dirt. Asphalt feels pleasant but only for like 5-10 minutes, after that feet start feeling gradually increasing discomfort that after some number of steps becomes pain:( Gravel... is there anyone here who does not hate gravel? And most often walking barefoot in saturday gives pleasure but also makes feet tired (irritated) so doing same thing next day becomes very questionable (usually i dont do it because even stepping at floor gives some discomfort). So it means that even though i have 2 days for walking barefoot in a park (per week), in reality i can use only one because of discomfort feeling after it for the next day.

Im really envious people who live in New Zealand and less Australia because they can walk barefoot nearly everywhere without any strange looks/talks, not only in a park when its warm day:) I know some of you will probably comment "you can also walk barefoot not only in a park but in most places, its not a crime and its not forbidden by any law" but looking so different from people on the streets is something i really dont want. I mean i dont want any people to say something like "yo have u seen that strange dude", want to avoid attracting attention if possible. I guess most people in this subreddit are a lot more decisive than me and will probably laugh at me in the comments. But maybe some have attitude pretty close to mine:) Enjoying walking barefoot, doing it in a park in weekends and being envious (in a kind way) people living in NZ:)

At the end a question. Have you experienced that feeling like "its nice warm day for a barefoot walk but my feet are irritated after yestarday so sadly i need to miss this day (because if i do walk it will bring more discomfort and pain than pleasure)"? Is it possible to never have irritation after walking barefoot?
