Figure 1.-- We see two Indian brothers on the way to school. They attend Chettinad Vidyashram, a private school in Chennai (Tamil Nadu). The boys in the photo are wearing the common uniform. About the footwear the school rules indicate: "white canvas shoes, white socks", but apparently the footwear is not compulsory. The elder brother, indeed, chooses to attend barefoot. The snapshot seems to have been taken in 2010.
