Yes, every time I've gone shopping for well over ten years. In spite of persistent myths, it's NOT dangerous, unhealthy or gross. Feet get very tough very quickly, our skin is made to keep pathogens out, and feet are fully washable. And it's never been a problem with management; I've never even SEEN a 'no shoes, no shirts, no service' sign here in the Netherlands, nor on my trips to Belgium and Scotland.
Even in the US, there are NO health department rules against going barefoot, and insurance companies don't require or even recommend footwear for customers. See source; signs citing Health Laws are common but FALSE. Stores may set their own dress codes but even in the US, while it may seem 'all stores' have a sign requiring shoes, many stores don't have such a policy and don't care. Unless you're in a very small town where there is no choice, just shop around a bit and if one store doesn't want a barefoot customer take your business some place else.

No, but I do have a recurring dream about going out barefoot!
I've done the walking home barefoot after a night out thing, but I wouldn't deliberately choose to go out shopping with nothing on my feet!!

You see many here barefoot just about any place you go any time of year. Normal.

No, but I've walked home barefooted from a night out. I might give it a go though! LOL

Short answer is Always.
Longish answer is that I love going shopping in bare feet, no one makes any comments not that I care if they would, my friends enjoy it too.

No. It not comfortable and in most places they have a no shirt no shoes, no service rule. Besides you can pick up all kinds of germs.

No because it's improper and I don't want my feet covered in whatever somebody else dragged in. Usually, they post signs:
"No Shirt,
No SHOES
No Service"
