Man who walked barefoot from LA to NY for 260 days sets Guinness World Record

"In order to set the world record, he was not allowed to have anything on his feet while he walked, not even a Band-Aid."

“I always thought it was a bunch of hippie stuff. But then I started to feel that the charge of the earth, it holds a certain energy, and we are supposed to be walking barefoot, so we can get that energy,” he explained. “You start to create the happy chemicals once your bare feet touch the earth.”

I agree with "we are supposed to be walking barefoot, so we can get that energy,” for sure.

But I must add that in my experience you must get past that first week or two where it might feel awkward out doing stuff barefoot you always did in shoes and get past that you really get the full energy. I would have thought this was all non sense till I tried discovered it myself.

Anyway nice job world record !
