Nice glad to hear it! My mom, dad, and stepmom are all barefoot people. I've been a barefoot as much as possible person since birth. I have been told my feet look like dancers feet; flexible, strong, uncracked, high arches. I fully attribute that to being barefoot as much as possible.

my favorite "shoe" right now for long concrete jungle walks are Earthrunners. https://www.earthrunners.com/?pb=0 If you can stomach the price, these shoes will last 10 years + and your toes will thank you for allowing them to spread out. Sandals are convenient but having to flex your inner most two toes to keep the sandal on will cause problems long term.

I will always cherish this barefoot moment. My dad and step mom are national pool players, and I like to play too. We went to a pretty dingy bar near by once to play some pool on a nice bar-sized table. We all hand sandals on. We stopped at the bar to get some drinks and pick up our pool-balls. Right when the drinks were on tables, the balls racked, each one of us kicked our sandals off under the table at the same time. After playing pool barefoot and being used to the extra balance your toes provide playing in sandals feels asinine. So dirty bar carpets be damned, we play barefoot.
