I play soccer on turf pitches, and even when it’s sunny and in the 70’s, the air around it gets very muggy, and my feet get very very hot. When it’s in the 80’s we have to take breaks by running onto the asphalt sidewalk.
I grew up on Southern California, and we went barefoot all the time. I remember coming back inside the house after running around outside and the shag carpet felt like luxurious silk.
Years later, I watched videos of people “walking” on hot coals, and I had flashbacks of running very quickly from shady spot to shady spot.
