I’ve never understood this. I have a condition with my feet that means i pretty much walk on bruises everday of my life. In medieval days they flogged people’s feet to torture them with a condition I deal with every day.
There are days I take off my shoes and sob.
I would never do that. I keep my shoes on in public.
The bottom of this person’s feet are not purple like mine are. What’s their excuse? Put your shoes back on.
Go frolic in the woods then. We live in a society, you’re freedom and happiness cannot infringe on mine.
I have read the other comments now and I will admit at second glance those feet look pretty clean and I don’t see any fungus or anything to be concerned about.
However my view hasn’t changed. As a society we have to have a line that is fair, simple, definable, and defendable.
That line is “keep your shoes on in public”. Once we start saying “her feet are probably cleaner than her shoes… And the bus seat is probably more dirty than her feet already” … I do understand that point and I would agree if there were nothing else to consider.
It makes the line ambiguous. It jeopardizes the simplicity and enforceability of a rule we as a society put in place for a real reason to solve an actual problem that has a real benefit for all of us.
Those feet look clean, I agree. So when are feet not clean enough? Is there a chart, honer system, or complaint regulated? My feet are clean but I have thick yellow callouses because of my unnatural gait caused by my foot pain. It’s not contagious but might look like a fungus… Can I put my bare feet on a park picnic table? I mean people eat off Park tables but they are outdoors and exposed to alot worse, people should be using plastic table cloth anyway… I am I allowed to put my bare feet on a park table?
If some with Hep C is barefoot in a flea market that has a sign saying shoes are required, with very clean feet… But someone broke a novelty glass bong shaped like frog and didn’t report it because they were worried they’d have to pay for it. The broken bong got cleaned up but not before a shard got accidentally kicked into the exit near the food truck parking. The barefoot customer with hep c cuts their foot and naturally lift it to put pressure on the wound and a drop of blood gets on a childs hotdog. The child doesn’t notice that because their braces have been irritating their lips and they were more concerned about that. The child contracts hep C.
Who’s responsible? The barefoot customer? The clumsy customer? The bong vendor? The owner of the flea market? The food truck? The distracted child? The dentist who didn’t provide wax for irritation?
Yes I know I’m overthinking it but that’s exactly my point. As a society we need to have clear, simple, defined, enforceable rules. Once you start adding “well her feet are clean” you obscure that line.
Keep your shoes on in public. That’s the very simple line we’ve all agreed apon.
