More than 4,000 people walked barefoot for the Bare Your Sole 2011 charity walk at Gardens by the Bay East in Tanjong Rhu yesterday morning.
They covered distances of 2.5km and 4km in the walk organised by non-profit organisation Habitat for Humanity and Barclays Bank.
More than $100,000 was raised, and the funds will go towards helping the less fortunate in Singapore and across the Asia-Pacific.
The event followed on the heels of last year's walk at East Coast Park, which attracted 2,500 participants and raised $160,000.
