Okay, so I said in a previous blog entry that it was weird that the Kiwis in Dunedin like to walk around barefoot. Weird and gross. Well, take a look at what is happening to feet these days.

Are the kiwis up to something? Read for yourselves:

The Japanese, however, are moving in quite the opposite direction. Here is a photo teaser from an email that a friend sent to me just the other day. You can check out other available styles by clicking on the link below. My feet hurt just looking at these pictures!
