Oh, I don't know. If I could, I'd go barefoot all the time. Of course, I wouldn't live through Norwegian winters while doing it.

In some trades you might get buy with out shoes. Notice that he isn't a cowboy or a farmer, nor does he work as a lumberjack or in a foundry.He probably doesn't walk thru briars or thorn bushes. If you live your life mostly indoors and always stay in the city (watch out for broken glass) a shoeless lifestyle might be possible. And really dull.
