As for how it feels great, I think part of it is doing something so many people don't do, I've had a few people look at me weirdly, which was certainly fun
I found I sorta spring myself off the front of my feet more than if im wearing shoes, I can run faster and am more agile without shoes, it has also improved my balance considerably, have you noticed your feet hardening up yet? I can run on sharp gravel now with no discomfort

Having people looking at you in that *wtf are you nuts?* kind of way is really funny, because all I can think of is that they don't know what they are missing. I would like it very much if less people wore shoes though, society would be quite different without them. I think we would be more, equal because it wouldn't matter anymore about what kind of shoe you wear you know?

I haven't had a chance to for a couple of days at the moment, but I know they are already a better than when I started. When I was young and I used to be barefoot quite a lot on the beach etc (used to live right near a really stony beach) I could run barefoot over the beach or pavement without any problems. Last time I went out barefoot a few days ago, I did notice my feet were tougher, but they're certainly not good yet.
