TikToker Christi Fritz and her husband shared a video of their incognito way of being barefoot in stores and while walking around the city by cutting off the bottoms of their shoes—but some people were grossed out.

A couple on TikTok sparked a great debate after revealing they cut the bottoms off of their shoes so they can go "incognito barefoot" in public.

TikToker Christi Fritz and her husband documented their process toward their secretly-barefoot-in-public life, beginning with altering their shoes...and expensive ones at that.


The video began with Fritz explaining:

"My husband and I removed the bottoms of all of our shoes."
"We decided to start walking barefoot, and one of our followers had a great idea."

She continued that they had to get creative in order to go sans shoes in most places of business.

"Since some businesses don't want us being completely barefoot...if we cut off the bottoms of our shoes, it allows us to be barefoot but blend in with everyone else."
"This is a huge commitment, but we were willing to make it."

The video then panned over a variety of shoes, from Jordan 1s to Golden Goose to Burberry, as the creator explained:

"These are our favorite shoes. Our shoe collection is worth more than $20,000, but this is a sacrifice we're willing to take because walking barefoot means the world to us."

Though the kicks were pricey, Fritz explained the payoff is invaluable.

The creator then shared the assembly of their bottomless shoes, from removing the soles to "making a lip on the bottom where our toenails will go."

Next, the sole-less couple ventured to their "favorite" store Sephora to see if they could get away with their new invention, and it was a success...in that manner alone.

the new age of barefoot walking has begun and I couldn’t be more exited or thankful 🫶

Viewers of the viral TikTok—which has already been seen a whopping 50 million times—were all kinds of distraught.

Many agreed that being barefoot may have its benefits, but public places may not be the safest arenas for testing.

Others weren't as kind, though, and pointed out all the issues from potential illness to injuries.










To each their own, we guess, but please watch your step!

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
