Not a feat in and of itself. But as I pondered over which shoes to wear on my trek I thought of my recent mustache readings and the badassity exhibited by the native Americans. Why must I wear shoes at all? It was a nice day (60 F or so), so I tossed my shoes and socks aside and jogged out of the house. I received some raised eyebrows from passers by and some smiles from others. Even on concrete and tar paths I felt refreshed to be carrying along so naturally.
I will caution that this may not be for everyone. I'd been previously accustomed to minimalist running footwear which gets you familiar with the fore-foot strike; you can cause some extreme uncomfortableness and damage striking with your heel. If you decide to try this be sure to ease your way into it, maybe only a block or so at a time to start.
Be aware of your surroundings but do not fear rocks and glass - at least not to the extent that you would think they would be present. There were only a couple annoying pebbles encountered on my route. I did have some minor toe blisters but nothing severe and they quickly went away after a day of rest.
