Slightly off-tangent but read this article on Glamour if you have thoughts on going barefoot at work – doesn’t seem too hygienic but there are several benefits: lowers stress, makes you feel more comfortable and at home in the workplace. Many people like the comfort of it. Part of what we said previously on running barefeet better connecting you to the earth applies. References women’s rights to shoes in Sex and the City and is quite funny actually.http://www.glamour.com/fashion/blogs/dressed/2013/08/going-barefoot-at-work-yay-or.html.
