It has it's advantages. Stream crossings become no big deal. No blisters, either. It's problems are roots, rocks, etc. the guy leading the hike (Mark) barefoot hikes a Lot, and told us where the good spots and bad spots were. I only did about 25% of the hike bare. The whole half mile into Greenland creek falls is awful for shoes. Mud holes, creek crossings, slimy ooze... It's either ruin your shoes and soak your socks, or just take them off.Beautiful place. As far as hiking barefoot, I'm not sure I would try it but YMMV. I don't think I've been barefoot anywhere except the house in years. I am going to have to go out in the yard and walk around now that you have me thinking about it. Hopefully you will have many more hikes as successful as this one.
