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.

And if you like walking on bare feet, you can just... you know... not wear shoes to begin with.

Source: I like walking barefooted. I also have elephant hide under my feet and usually do short trips outside, such as take out the trash, barefooted. This includes during scandinavian winters. I have to stand still on ice for quite a while before it becomes uncomfortanle.

EDIT: "Our shoe collection is worth iver $20.000"... yeah, I call bullshit. That video is probably just ragebait to attract engagement and followers, similar to those incredibly stupid make-art-by-driving-over-a-paint-bucket tiktoks.

I also call BS. His foot looks too clean if they are going barefoot outside.
