Aaron Kwok plays a country bumpkin who arrives in town without shoes (hence the title) and is hired by a group of weavers led by Maggie Cheung. He's also an expert martial artist, and the movie oscillates between his blossoming love affair with a female teacher played by Wu Chien Lien, Maggie's tender relationship with one of the older weavers played by Ti Lung and the fights with the bad guys (rival weavers). Extremely sentimental, but good fight action and nice cinematography. Feels sort of like an old Shaw Brothers movie. I never much liked Aaron Kwok, but this was a fun movie.
