Not that I mind, but… wearing shoes has a purpose… and the most important one IMO is to make sure our feet stay harms way from broken bottles, nails, stuff like that.
I’m not even gonna get into how cold it must be not wearing them in the winter… or how hot the asfalt might get during the summer. The asfalt can go up to 80, 90°C where I live during the summer, people have fried eggs on it for kicks.
Walking barefoot can help with better postures and alleviate back pain, but the same can be achieved with proper soles or shoe inlays.
These guys are probably just doing it for the clicks though… As if they’d have cut open their $20k shoe collection.
People in poor countries: he’s too poor to afford shoes.
These dipshits:
My sock collection is worth 10k.
I went in to Sephora and people complimented me on my socks.
A buddy of mine has sandal straps tattooed on top of his feet and that’s usually enough for him to get away with being barefoot.
