Antony Gormley - let's all go barefoot


Artist Antony Gormley took his shoes off a year ago and hasn't put them on since. He recommends it to others as a world changing idea.

Artist Antony Gormley advocates we all give up shoes and go barefoot to get closer to our planet. With naked feet you can actually feel  global warming.  He has gone barefoot for a year and says that if you dispense with shoes you can appreciate distinctions and negotiate your environment in a very different way.
I wish the video had given us a better shot at what his feet look like after a year of being unshod.
