The whole bare foot thing is probably a step to far for me, a bit too soft these days.
Thanks for the replies so far. Im sure some of you hardened hunters had a bit of a chuckle.

You may be surprised if you try stalking in bare feet. As long as you are not on very rocky ground (or around prickly stuff) it doesnt take too long to get used to it. You can always put your boots back on if your feet get sore and just take them off when in a 'hot' area.
The best thing about soft bare feet (especially with sika) is that it slows you down
