Nellies FAQ

Q: Hey, if you gals are called the BAREFOOT Nellies, why are you wearing shoes?

A: It’s just a name (and yes, we’re named after the song). There are several reasons, actually.

  1. We think it’s too gimmicky to go barefoot, just as we’re not going to all get our names legally changed to Nellie. That would be like the Donnas all going by Donna and their last initial, or the Spice Girls naming themselves after spices. Oh, wait…
  2. Some of those stage floors are gross. Imagine you’d been spilling beer on your carpet every night for the past four years, then imagine you had never vacuumed or cleaned it. Would you want to walk on it barefoot?
  3. We rely on footwear to even out our wildly disparate heights.
