I get you so much. I was born and raised a shoodie (that's how my roomies call the shoe wearing people). I never used to go barefoot and I was too shy about it until I moved my roomies. They have been barefoot boys all their life and they turned me into of them. I now love the feeling of going barefoot and wear flip flops everywhere Im not barefoot just like them. Your girlfriend is turning you into a barefoot and now you are loving it too
