The first thing Anton Nootenboom did when he strolled into Times Square in New York City was put on some shoes and socks. On Nov. 2, the Dutch national finished a 260-day, 3,100-mile journey from Los Angeles to New York and set a Guinness World Record for longest barefoot walk. “The first month or so was the most interesting because my skin was still pretty soft,” he told the New York Post. Nootenboom, who made the journey to raise awareness for men’s mental health, also reclaimed his Guinness title after someone broke his 2021 record.
