The Barefoot Man on Broadway November 2012. A homeless man sat barefoot near 44th Street and 7th Avenue. The temperature was near freezing. NYPD officer Larry DePrimo walked into a Skechers store. He bought all-weather boots for about $75 with his own money, using an employee discount. He knelt and put them on the stranger's feet. A tourist snapped the photo.
