Barefoot accidents

[wanderings]

If you're a household where most of you go barefoot, how often do accidents happen? Stubbed toes, things dropped on feet, stepping on something sharp?

I like to go barefoot, but I try to remember to wear slippers in "high risk" situations, such as washing up, where there's always the risk of dropping something pointed!

Always barefoot in summer, socks in winter, yes Lego hurts (well beyond that) but never had a non Lego incident

Barefoot in public - in soft play areas, it's a great way to share verrucas about, and in a supermarket, if you stand on broken glass that had been missed on clean up and bleed all over the floor or somebody runs over your bare feet and manages to amputate a couple of toes with the palette/cage, they're not to know that you'd say 'not to worry, easy mistake to make, shoes would have protected me but I chose not to wear them' and not sue them for hundreds of thousands of pounds.

No so much Health and Safety as 'people have done this and then sued when they've been injured'.

I couldn't tell you the last time I stepped on something sharp or stubbed my toe... occasionally stand on some mush when cooking?

I don't go barefoot-I have dogs and a cat, and it's surprisingly painful when a pet hair works its way into your sole.
