Over the weekend, the New York Times managed to track down the homeless recipient of NYPD officer Lawrence DePrimo's kindness, and found out he was still walking around barefoot.

It was 35 degrees outside the night 25-year-old NYPD officer Lawrence "Larry" DePrimo bought a pair of $100 Sketchers boots and some socks for a homeless man on the corner of 44th and Broadway.

On November 14, Jennifer Foster was visiting New York City from Arizona when she spotted NYPD officer Lawrence Deprimo giving a pair of new boots to a barefoot homeless man. The moment reminded her of a time when, as a young girl, she saw her father, a policeman in Phoenix, buy food for a homeless man.
