Ja no listen hey, we’re South Africans, and I think we all know that there’s an unspoken acceptance in our country that some people simply choose to just not wear shoes. Emphasis being on the ‘choose.’ Dirty mall floors? No problem. Sticky bar decks? The bare-footed community will squeak their toes. Winter? Frosty floors could never stop them.

The grounds of SA have seen many a bare-footed sole. Especially in our city. If you know, you really do know. I myself am a sneaker-head and the thought of roaming around the earth on just my barefeet so, freely? Isn’t exactly my fit per se. I’ll openly say, I accept being a shoeby doo.

@kiveshan_thumbiran’s stitch made me laugh because it really just had South Africa written all over it. We’ve all seen the toes of a bare-footed friend creeping around the corner at one point or another in public. So it’s for all of us. For those who would literally sleep with their shoes on if they could, just to have a cheeky chuckle as they tie their laces and say ‘hectic’. And to our friends who have said no to the confines of comfort and protection to maybe find a middle-ground with these bad boys.
