The fact that Ray is constantly barefoot intrigues me. Now when I am 
retired I walk barefoot as much as I can, and at home always, 'cause you 
know where you step. When I began walking barefoot I stepped on some 
glass sometimes, but never really cut myself - nock on wood! We have had 
quite icy sidewalks and then they put sand and grit on them, and that's 
a little tough to walk on. But the paradox is that when there is that 
sharp grit on the sidewalks and paths I have never had any problemes. 
Perhaps one is more cautious then...

When walking the dog in the mornings I try to do it barefoot as much as 
possible. As long as the temperature is over 32°F it's OK. She is a lab 
and has been a guide dog for my SO whom I am living with.

Two years ago I participated in a course of instruction at a folk 
highschool and then I went barefoot, and another participant asked me if 
I did go barefoot in order to feel the ground as a tool of orientation. 
I said no, but on some occation I have really felt my way with my feet.

As I said, indoors it is really practical.
