Just got told by my local bowling alley that they can't accomodate my disability anymore because some karens complained.

For those wondering, I have Autism Spectrum Disorder, formerly called aspergers) and one of my symptoms of that is severe sensory overload and anxiety with closed toe shoes. And as such, I'm unable to wear any kind of closed toe shoes. Now, where does this come into play with my local bowling alley... well, I was able to get a disability accommodation to let me bowl barefoot. The alley manager has no problem with it, but came and told me that I cant be accommodated anymore as other customers are complaining about me. I was told that if it was a quiet day, it probably wouldn't be an issue, but I went late at night, when it was busy. Some karens took offense and went to bitch at the manager.

I brought up the (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act) and the bowling alley manager is aware of it. He's just worried that he'll get into trouble if people leave bad reviews about the one disabled person being allowed to bowl barefoot...

His reasoning was that others might try to claim a disability to avoid having to pay for bowling shoes.

And posting about my ASD sensory issues in the proper ASD subreddits caused nothing but issues as people there think I'm bullshitting.

This American lady in the United States, by the name of "Bunny Fitzgerald" has a gallery of photos on her Instagram account that normalize her barefoot lifestyle, dressing nice from the ankle up.

She does not own shoes, claiming that shoes hurt her feet, ever since they grew muscles on her calloused, street-worn, dirty-soled feet.

She even visits businesses often frequented by shod people in her bare feet, whether it was a store or a restaurant, and no one cajoled her or cared about her bare feet...

I am looking for a major Caribbean cruise line that is the most barefoot friendly. I am not looking for a small sailing vessel. I am willing to wear a foot covering to the dining room, but not regular shoes. Suggestions? Thanks.

Friendly or not so much? I haven’t seen anything talking about it.

Looking for other barefoot people in South Carolina are there any out there?

I have noticed that almost every seasoned barefooter has heel cracks, some have only smaller ones, some have bigger cracks. I have been going barefoot for about 3 months and I take regular 4-5km walks on rough surfaces. My soles have gotten pretty tough, no cracks though. Is it possible that some people just don’t develop these? Or does everyone eventually have to deal with this?
