Just keeping this in circulation for new viewers and readers. Spread the barefoot word. I. It is NOT illegal to drive barefoot. (It is legal in all 50 states.) II. It is NOT in violation of the health department to go barefoot to stores and restaurants. (It is legal in all 50 states.) III. Liability Misconception: Although it is prudent for a business to do all it can to avoid a suit, it is extremely unlikely that a barefoot patron would or could successfully sue a business for injuries incurred to their bare feet. Four conditions must be met in order to do so: 1.) A duty of care to the customer must be established. 2.) A breach of that duty must be demonstrated. 3.) A causal link between breach and harm must be made. 4.) Actual harm or damage must be assessed. In general, a business owner is NOT responsible for a customers safety beyond safeguarding the customer from hazards he or she would normally not be aware of. In essence, employees of stores and restaurants are NOT required to kick you out or refuse service. Establishments are NOT legally responsible for the actions of their patrons. When someone walks into a public venue, they legally assume whatever risk they bring upon themselves. (This applies to all 50 states and all stores and restaurants.)
