I love to go barefoot everywhere (and I mean everywhere) at work and at home.
I see no sense in restricting our feet in tight fitting shoes when we have very capable soles on our feet.

YES most definately. The soles of your feet are easilly able to cope with going around without shoes. It takes a little time for them to harden and grow used to doing what they were designed to do in the first place but they will handle it no problem.
I have been barefoot for the past few years. I have a new found sense of freedom.
Go for it

Barefoot is fun! I have grown up doing so, in my own house, even now as an adult I still do. My friends sometimes laugh when they are all wearing socks. My feet feel free, and I make sure my toe nails are always painted pretty, so my feet look good. Where do you work? Most places, such as offices and high businesses, have a standard for wearing shoes, yet if you work from the house, or in a small business, wear your costumers dont mind you barefoot, hey Why not show those toes! (grin)
Yet even when I love being barefoot, there are times shoes are a must, such as hot days, rainy days, in the Winter and running errands about town. Yes we do have capable soles on our feet, but those soles can still be damaged, if not taken care of.

I wouldn't say it's particularly cool. There was a picture of either Kate Moss or Sienna Miller walking barefoot through London and I thought it just looked to try hard. Plus her feet were filthy and it's massively unhygienic.
I agree that at home it's the most comfortable way to be, and I'd quite like to go barefoot around work, but I just don't think it's terribly professional.

Well, that are a lot of places that say no shirt, no shoes, no service. You can cut your feet & the place could be sued, so that is one reason. The other is sanitary reasons. I rarely go barefoot at a pool any more for everything that blooms on my feet soon after. Why not just wear flip flops & be safe!

Yes, it is cool to go barefoot, but if everyone did it, I think I would have to be sick every time some old man with in-grown toenails and foot fungus walked by me.
And I would like to mention that if all your shoes are tight fitting, they are not the proper size for you. And besides, we are not "restricting" our feet, we are merely protecting them from the many hazards we encounter every day. (hot pavement, broken glass, chewed gum, etc.)

Barefoot is cool as long as everyone takes care of their feet. There are uncomfortable and ugly foot diseases out there that can be passed by going barefoot. However, it is very comfy in most instances. I stepped on a rose thorn the otherday, which was an exception, ouch!

I used to go barefoot as a child because I lived near the beach,I used to think it was cool to run on the pebbles without pain and laugh at the tourists walking gingerly down to the sea.Yes it did feel cool.

It's OK for you maybe but I don't want to have to look at your dirty feet thank you very much. You could say we are restricting other parts of our bodies with clothes but I really don't think that walking around naked is a good solution. Do what you like in your own house but there are rules that you should follow in public.

I don't know what you equate "cool" to! I think it would depend on where you are walking. Where I live in Texas, you have grass burrs (sometimes referred to as "little porcupine eggs), We have about a thousand kinds of cactus, - black widow spiders, rattlesnakes, recluse spiders, ghila monsters, coral snakes, scorpions,-( just about everything that lives here bites stings or is poisouous)!
Shoes (not sandals)-protect you from a lot of things "hurting" you, -as you would also like to spend a little time looking where you are going, and not where you put your foot on every step!l
Of course man survived for a few hundred years without shoes before it was figured out how to make them

Depending on where you are living at working, and the demographics of the people around you, it may be offensive to others. Just something to consider. OK with me so long as your feet are not smelly.
