Well if it isn't then one of the news stations got it wrong. Years ago one of their anchors did a story and a shot was taken of her driving barefoot. Many viewers questioned her practice of driving without shoes so they checked with the police and the law in Oregon says it is a violation to drive without shoes on your feet. I remember this because I used to always drive barefoot.
I must say I do have a tendancy to get around that by wearing flip flops while driving in the summer.
You need to know to this is Oregon, in this state everything can be considered a violation. I'm waiting for the day they say inhaling to deeply is a violation. LOL

Socks or barefoot, I can feel the tension on the pedal better.

Barefoot or socks, depending on sweater. I also put a 1.5" telephone book under my heel, for better control when FMQ.

Because of the diabetic neuropathy in my feet, I do nothing barefoot... shoes or slippers when I am sewing!

Absolutely barefoot! I can control my machine speed better and have better contact with the foot pedal.

I have a teenage boy sewing student who was appalled when I asked him to try sewing barefoot (much to his horror, this meant taking off his fancy sneakers). Now he says he can't sew any other way.

Barefoot, year round.
