Shoes required?

Let Children Run "Barefoot" this Spring in VivoBarefoot Kids!

Playing in tide pools barefoot is a fond memory of my youth, so was climbing on rocks that scattered Maine's rocky coast; much to my dislike, the latter required shoes. This spring children can run wild--barefoot but not--in Terra Plana's VivoBarefoot shoes, with a thin puncture-resistant sole.

So you buy shoes to make it feel like you are not wearing shoes? Why not save the money and just go barefoot - for real! Barefoot shoes - an unnecessary purchase for running in the grass.
