I don't go barefoot outside anymore, but inside for sure. And I wear sandals all the time, even in snow! I ruined my toes years and years ago by wearing shoes toooooo short and haven't been able to wear real shoes since! I am in Physical Therapy because I had both knees replaced and do everything there barefoot. Fortunately they are ok with it!
So you go, girl. and Happy Quilting.
PS I ddrive barefoot too!
