Checkout these feather weight shoes used by some barefooters...

From almost within living memory.

How about this for feather weight shoes, these folks went barefoot part of the time and used birds for shoes at other times (no joke):

The 'bird people of St. Kilda.

Fantastic! If anyone catches a couple of those birds, let us know how they work out!
