I dont allow shoes inside. And Im not in the business of looking for socks all day, so if they take them off, i put them in their cubby and they can be barefoot all day. I have a mixed age group and if a 3 yr old stepped on a 11 month olds hand wearing a shoe, that would not be good. I keep shoes off for safety reasons. If HFM is what your worried about, well would you keep mittens on their hands all day long? Sweaty feet in shoes could cause foot fungus as well. Keep feet aired and dry would prevent it. Also, my husband has athletes foot...nobody in my family has caught it simply from walking on the same carpet.
So my program is exactly opposite lol.
