But barefoot haters have pointed out before....your feet would get filthy and theres probably broken glass covering every inch of the sidewalks and doggie pee and poop and human pee and and......OMG its too terrible to contemplate!!!
I met two ex-girlfriends (both moved away) while we were both barefoot in Greenwich Village. I remember saying to the second "I see we like the same style and color shoes!" because we both had very black feet. Yes, your feet DO get dirty. Nothing wrong with that. Sadly, you hardly see anyone barefoot anymore especially in the city, stores, subways, etc. Twenty years ago it was common to see at least 6 or so barefooters with tough, dirty feet in the city. If your feet are accustomed to going barefoot, small shards of glass and hot pavement won't bother them.
Hey, resurrection isn't just for religion anymore! Anyone wanna barefoot the Big Apple? And if you HAVE to ask...
