Just this past weekend I got pulled over and got the first ticket I've had in 15 years. I was barefoot and the trooper didn't care that I was barefoot. The following website has a link to letters and responses from State Police showing that there is no law against driving barefoot.

No, but I keep my doors off my jeep and just last week I pulled up next to a cop with my bare left foot hanging out of the cab. He didn't seem to mind. I think the barefoot driving thing is an old wives tale. I've been licensed in 4 states, just studied the drivers manual in my new state a few months ago and I have never seen it mentioned in a drivers manual.

No, but I still know it's not illegal, so he shouldn't be pulling you over for that! In spite of persistent myths, there are NO laws against driving barefoot. Unfortunately, this myth is so common that even some cops believe it... but everyone who believes this please see source and stop spreading this falsity.
Some cops are convinced it's unsafe and even though they know it's not illegal may try to write you up for unsafe or reckless driving, however please see the second and third link in the source, for two sites (one from the Michigan PD, one from an Australian newspaper) making it clear that driving barefoot is no more unsafe than many types of footwear that are regularly worn and could even be considered safer than many kinds of shoes.

No. Any time I was pulled over I was wearing shoes. But I always keep my shoes close when I do drive barefoot.

Barefooted driving is legal in California.
