Couple 'destroys' shoe collection of more than $20,000 due to the benefits of walking
Tiktoker said she and her husband had to 'pay a heavy price' for their decision to cut off the soles of their shoes. However, the benefits they receive from walking without shoes are completely worth it.
Christi's claims about the benefits of walking without shoes piqued the curiosity of her followers and prompted them to leave curious comments.
Netizens joined the debate of walking shoeless, but most of them disagreed.
The new fashion style that Tiktokers consider beneficial has caused debates below their videos.
One person points out that walking without shoes can help you maintain better balance, while also connecting you to the earth and its energy.
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.
In addition, followers also highlight the potential dangers of sharp objects on the road such as nails, broken glass, or even 'feces' that can destroy your foot.
