I haven't been free of the risk of encountering things like glass, random animal waste, and anti-barefoot laws for so long that the idea of taking strolls barefoot seems alien to me.

Garden at my parent's house. Lush, green grass, shadows below the trees, and most of the year no danger of slugs.

Edit: wait, wait. Anti barefoot laws? What for? Why?

Back in the 1960's, requiring people to wear shoes to use public services was seen as a way to shoo hippies, since the government at the time was not fond of them. The requirement never went away, but the excuse today is that being in bare feet is a health risk.

Those hippies! Nice music and love and stuff, can't have that. No sir!
