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.

I'm with you. I hate shoes and only wear when necessary. I've never made my kids/daycare kids wear shoes and socks unless we were going somewhere. I don't recall any stubbed toes, splinters, bee stings, etc. I've had several cases of HFM, but only one child at a time. I've just been lucky.

I do accept the fact that others have different opinions.
