The most autistic people I know wear sandals all year round. People laugh about sandals and socks but you're right -- shoes are evil! I'll take looking like a dork over having sore feet all the time.

Germans, too

I am sorry if this comes as and ad, but you need to experience some modern cushioned sneakers, ie:

You can walk, run, stomp around in them all day and your feet will thank you.

They do have some cons though. They are expensive and not very eco-friendly (hard to recycle).
