I Like to Be Barefoot
It's OK to allow your feet to touch the floor. Here is a recent experience.
I just had a routine hospital test that required sedation. I was put in a station in the prep room, given a bag with a gown and a pair of socks to change into. I put on the gown but passed on the socks. It was November and I walked in wearing flip flops and I was not about to wear socks to lie in a bed.
There was a delay due to computer issues and I was stuck in the prep room for over an hour. The IV I was given made me feel like I just chugged a half gallon of water. I called the nurse and told her I needed the restroom. She put the IV bag on a portable attachment and I began to get out of the bed. She glance down as my feet hit the floor. She said, "Let me get you a pair of gripper socks." I explained that I given them but did not wear them. She then said that I couldn't walk across the floor in my bare feet. I told her I was sorry but I had to go now and walked across the prep room down a hall into the bathroom. I scurried back to the bed and covered up because I did not want to get busted for not removing my toe rings (all jewelry was to be removed).
I just didn't see any alarm if my feet touched the floor to walk to the bathroom. I've walked on just about every surface barefoot and never had a problem.
