Back in my hippie days, we would do a little trick. You get some hemp. Few beads. Whatever. Tie it around your big toe then loop it around your ankle. So it looks like you are wearing flip flops at a glance.

Did it all the time.

As a more informed person. I do not really recommend walking barefoot anywhere except a park or your own space. And beaches.

Cause dogs literally pee on every surface that exists in a city.

And also hepatitis.

Glass. Other sharp things.

Even if you have thick soles, they can take out gashes of it.

And the sidewalk is hella hot in the summer.

Go barefoot at your own risk. But know the risks. Mkay.?
