A few years ago, I was your typical office-worker: stressed out, uneven energy, overweight, and inconsistent complexion. Now I'm just your typical 28-year old urban hunter-gatherer on a quest to be healthy, and having a few adventures along the way. See my full bio.
This just in from the Journal of Celebrity Affairs -- Prince Harry spotted buying a pair of VFFs!
He's doing some helicopter training in the US, and he picked up a pair in San Diego. And apparently he's a fan of going barefoot.
"Harry, say friends, hates wearing shoes and has been photographed several times barefoot, so it it not entirely surprising that the eye-catching sports shoes would have appealed to him."
Here's a picture of Harry barefoot at the Cricket World Cup.
Imagine that. British Royalty walking around barefoot. Can you imagine that in centuries past? Hell no. That's because historically, going barefoot has been a signal of low status. A signal that you were poor or came from a rural area.
In the 60s, going barefoot signaled that you were a hippie.
Today, going barefoot signals that you're high status / high IQ.
You can see past installments of the Journal of Celebrity Affairs here. Thanks to Jessica for the pointer.

Second that.Losing his
Second that.Losing his sandals and putting up his bare feet on the seat in fornt of him does not make him anywhere close to a barefoot enthusiast, just a guy with shabby manners. You'd hope that seat will be cleaned before someone leans back on it.
Snobby comment.... I guess
Snobby comment.... I guess high status/IQ doesn't imply manners though... I mean, it's one thing to be barefoot and another to put your feet up on a chair in a stadium like that... Kinda icky... /end judgmental judgments. :D
