It's fine to drive barefoot. 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.

Frequently. I enjoy being barefoot, weather permitting, and driving barefoot is just part of what comes with that.

I drive barefoot all the time. And it is not illegal to do so. Some law inforcement agencies actually say its safer than driving in uncomfortable shoes, flip flops or high heels.

yeah i drive barefoot most of the time. when i very first got my license i felt most in control with bare feet because i could feel everything but now that i have had my license for nearly 2 yrs i can drive with shoes on. i dont drive with high heels on, i put them on when i get to the place but if they are flat shoes then i can drive with them, i did today. but if they are thongs (im an aussie so we call them thongs not flip flogs or jandals!) i dont wear them when driving coz more than once they have got stuck
