He walked barefoot from LA to New York raising awareness of mental health

A Dutch man walked barefoot from Los Angeles to New York’s Times Square to raise awareness for men’s mental health. Anton Nootenboom, a veteran, walked for 260 days and covered 3,100 miles. After eight months of barefoot strides, Nootenboom finally put on a pair of socks and shoes. “I almost forgot what it feels like,” Nootenboom said. 1.3 million people followed his journey on social media, where he’s known on Instagram and TikTok as “The Barefoot Dutchman.” His girlfriend and dog traveled beside him in a camper van.
