When I have taught piano I have encouraged the pupil to caress the keyboard, to enjoy the feel of and explore the keys, to be able to find middle 'C' by touch alone. A blind person "sees" with his hands. Imagine doubling this pleasure and feeling with your feet as well.
Imagine a culture where it was not "done" to expose one's hands, and having to always wear heavy leather gloves with rigid, solid soles, lined with thick woollen sleeves.
Now take your shoes and socks off and be free. Not just in the privacy of your home: go shopping barefoot, running barefoot, climbing trees barefoot.
