Meanwhile, others argue that having to create a flap in the shoe to hold the shoe in is counter to the benefits of walking without shoes.

Others suggest that walking shoeless on natural ground, such as on grass, has its appeal, but walking on concrete areas in the middle of the city does not have the same appeal.

Some users admit that walking without shoes on grass is a great feeling, however, that will not happen if you walk on concrete areas.
