EDIT:

To answer some of the questions in the comments, I have added reasons why many of us go barefoot:

• Culture: Kiwis are generally more casual than in many other countries regarding dress code and appearance, and many children go barefoot from a young age. It is the same in Australia, where many also go barefoot.

• Culture: In Maori culture, going barefoot means that you connect with nature. A wharenui (meeting house) in a marae (Maori meeting place) is considered a tapu (sacred) place. Wearing shoes inside a wharenui is an act of desecration to the tapu of the wharenui. Our Maori heritage is important and meaningful to all of us.

• Climate: The temperature is comfortable enough almost everywhere to go barefoot during summer.

• Dangers: Our streets are generally kept clean and we do not have a problem with parasites, venomous critters, dog poo, needles, and so on.

• Hobbit genes: We either have some hidden hobbit genes, or maybe those of us who go barefoot a lot, just develop thick soles.
