I don't go barefoot because I wouldn't want to step in dog shit...or gum. anything like that. But I used to go barefoot at camp all of the time (inspired by the circus guys who i never saw wear shoes once in 3 years) and I really enjoyed it.
the sign would cover for the liability, but not for the social stigma...allowing people to be barefoot inside your establishment is going to be looked on as dirty by most patrons, regardless of the truth, and might lose you some business, especially if you're an establishment that serves food.
In college I often walk into the diner with my shoes off, completely by accident, if I'm working in the attached building on an event. I never wear shoes while I'm working on a show, unless I'm setting up a stage...then I wear huge boots because crushed toes are not my idea of fun. So I definitely enjoy being barefoot and have my barefoot times. that is mostly because I hate socks, though...I am indifferent towards most shoes.
