    I was in the science center all the time and had to wear closed toe shoes due to OSHA regulations. No one wants HCl on their toes.

    Aww, walking barefoot! Gotta love it. It was definately not allowed when I was in High School, but that's what's so lovely about long skirts and dresses!

    well, in spring and summer it's alright but in winter it's way too cold to go around barefoot :D in summer, sometimes i go to school barefoot, but i tend to wear sandals or flip-flops... i don't think they mind it in our college, but i haven't seen a lot of people do it, this is Europe by the way and the town is real gross.. dog shit and shards of glass all over the place bleeah

    in grade and high school, it was a big deal if one even wore sandals. I did, and got teased (Peppermint Patty).
    In college/univesity, I would work in the newspaper office barefoot, or cross the grass, but on hard surfaces? Nope. Too many people spit anywhere.

    Now I'm returning to get the education for a new direction, and we are NOT to wear shoes.
    So in my 40s, I get to go to classes (all in one room, granted) in bare or sock feet (temperature dependent), have tai chi and qi gong exercises as part of class, crawl around on cotton mats, and I'm going to get to do this for a living.
    It's good to survive your 20s.

    Ugh, that sounds disgusting... hahaha! People only should be barefoot when there's grass or sand, not on streets. You can hurt yourself and it's unethical. I do go barefoot after parties! :D

    Yeah, people who just like to be stupid. Seems like they always attract one another don't they?

    In the workplace I tried to go barefootin but I had the "Health and Safety" aspect thrown at me
    I wouldn't mind but they're my feet!
