No it's not! I'm a member of a large group of barefooters and we have looked it up; please see source. It's not against the law to be in any business barefoot, regardless of whether food is served or not. It's not against the law to drive barefoot. There are no insurance companies requiring or even recommending stores to have anti-barefoot rules for customers. It's not even true you'll be more likely to be injured or catch foot fungus that way; fungus grows well in a dark, damp and warm environment like the inside of a shoe but doesn't grow well at all on the surface of the bare skin, which is light, well-ventilated and usually dry (even if it's raining, my bare feet are fully dry within five minutes of getting out of the rain; closed shoes stay hot, dark & slightly damp all day long). Nor are you likely to get injured from glass as long as you don't shuffle your feet; skin, especially if you habitually go barefoot, is very tough. I never divert my step even when I see glass in the streets, never had a cut and I pick out a tiny splinter perhaps once a year. (very) high heels & platform shoes are a greater risk, it's easy to fall or twist an ankle with those, however few if any stores ban those.
Oh, driving barefoot isn't illegal either, this too is a common myth! See source again. Sorry to say but insects is really a silly reason, I've been stung often enough but only stepped on a bee once and that was before I habitually went barefoot... if bugs are in your car they can sting you anywhere, not just on the foot! Many cops & driving instructors even recommand taking footwear like platforms off when driving.
Please people, don't get your health education from store windows! Only in the US do these myths exist, people in pretty much all other countries -including Europe, Canada etc- generally believe going barefoot to be very healthy, even if they don't do it often because it's not considered fashionable. And this is backed up by my own experiences in ten years of barefooting; used to be sickly all winter long, but now it's rare to even have a slight cough or sniffle.

Not unless your specific town has an ordinance saying it is against the law.
Health codes do include dress codes for businesses. However, those are intended for the employees and not the patrons.
There are also some states that discourage driving while barefoot. The reason mainly has to do with having a harder time working the pedals. Insects and reptiles getting in your car, biting your feet, and causing you to wreck may be another reason not to drive while barefoot. Now, an individual officer could charge you with something else such as reckless driving, but I have not been able to find a state where barefoot driving is flat out banned.

that's a clean vogue? fairly? Lol i've got never been sought after until now. properly, until you count extensive variety some months back while goth, punk, and rocker outfits have been each and all of the fashion. yet I digress. besides, i in my view have consistently favored barefooting to donning footwear. footwear could have undesirable consequences on your physique. extraordinarily intense-heels as a results of fact they could provide you hip and back issues. hassle-unfastened needs: that's a lie. i bypass barefoot common until I could desire to positioned on footwear and my feet are somewhat. they are long and narrow with somewhat arches. the exterior is thicker, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it is not fairly calloused, grotesque, and tough. Now, if I wore footwear each and all of the time, like maximum folk, then ran around barefoot for a on the same time as, confident my feet could get calloused and unsightly. yet i do no longer, so as that they at the instant are not. = )

No, its not illegal to walk around barefoot. Though some towns may have archaic inchoate laws from a hundred years ago saying it is, but it will never be enforced. Some businesses may refuse to serve you as they deem barefoot to be unhygenic, its not illegal.

I don't know if this is some code for a gay thing, but I don't understand why it is under a gay subject. Anyways, I don't think so, also I have found that most restuarants don't really say anything if you go into there resturants barefoot. I have only been kicked out of one resturant because I didn't have my shoes on. Why should I have to where shoes?

That would depend on what town you live in, and what laws that town has previously passed.
I suggest hiring a lawyer in your area to investigate this very important fact for you.

Well, I have not heard of any law against it, but most businesses may frown on it. It is very unhygienic though and not to mention painful if you step on glass or someone steps on you.

I don't think so, but I wouldn't do it. Cement isn't exactly pleasant to walk on, and you wouldn't be able to go into many of the shops.
