Internet divided over attire barefoot couple wear for their anniversary date

Internet users are confused after a barefoot couple showed their attire for date night, and it involved wearing shoes. 

Whether youre in a committed relationship or decades deep in a marriage, date nights are one of the most important aspects of modern relationships. They give you a break from your kids, reminding you of why shouldnt have them, and they allow you to get back to the root of your love. You could argue that date nights are very demure, very mindful.�

The barefoot couple wore shoes on a date

Humans have walked barefoot since the dawn of time, and yet, some people just cant wrap their heads around barefoot communities. Though each barefoot person lives their life differently, the general theme is that shoes are way too restrictive. 

While some people choose to forgo shoes entirely, walking on the ground as their ancestors did, theres a growing community of barefoot individuals who understand the modern world is not built with them in mind.�

Enter the Barefoot Brit (@barefootbrit) who talks about her barefoot lifestyle with her 43k followers on TikTok.�

In a recent TikTok, the content creator and her barefoot husband ventured out to enjoy their anniversary. Naturally, you might wonder what they wore on their feet.�

With a fun transition, the Barefoot Brit and her hubby switched out their triangle dress shoes and stiletto pumps for pairs of Joa Barefoot Phalanx. 

Theyre designed to look more like a classic sneaker, she told her followers. Theyve got an extra bit of material at the toe, as you see here, so they have a slightly more stylish look than most of the barefoot shoes that youve probably seen in my collection.

Created to be unisex, the Phalanx sneakers are designed with barefoot people in mind. They feature a wide toe box, a zero heel-to-toe drop, and a thin and flexible outsole for maximum mobility and comfort. 

Some social media users didnt see the point

While most agreed that the Phalanx was considerably more stylish than other options on the market, some struggled to see the point. After all, if youre going to go barefoot, just dont wear any shoes. 

One person wrote in the comments: I honestly thought barefoot shoes had no sole and just exposed the entire sole of your foot to the ground.

What actually is the point of barefoot shoes? Save your money and just get your dogs out, another person echoed, to which Barefoot Brit replied, There are many places that require footwear whether it be for protection or social norm, like school, work, and bars. Barefoot shoes are for people that dont want to restrict their feet but wear shoes.
