Yes! Back in 2008 or so, I spent a week in St. Croix and did a lot of barefoot walking.

It was all on the beach, or the lawn of resort where we were staying, so there just about weren't any hazards of the sort that require toughening your feet up, so it didn't have the memory-jogging effect of reminding me of early spring days in my boyhood. Still did wonders for my feet (which back in those pre-taiji days suffered from plantar fasciitis.)
