On the other foot...
I have nothing against barefoot. When I get up in the morning I usually go around the house barefoot until I'm ready to leave and go somewhere. I think it is more a matter of convenience (or maybe laziness) than anything else.

At others' homes I'm willing to follow their customary practice.
