Hello all! 
In Brazil, people walking barefoot is very common. Specially in summer, on a weekend, we can see many young people like me or younger than me walking barefoot on the street. Many times, when I walk barefoot, I take shoes (mostly sandals) with me, but I almost never have to put them on. For example, when I'm in school, I enter the school wearing tennis shoes, but when we have a time off (physics education) in school, I take off my shoes, take off my socks and keep them on my schoolbag.
When I re-enter in the class, I enter barefoot and my teachers allow me to keep my shoes off.
Another example is when I go dance with my friends or boyfriends. When I take shoes, I always take them off to dance and I don't put them on again. I leave them on my purse.
I've been in many places barefoot. I think the filthiest place I've even been with my bare feet was in mud.
But in times like weekends, or even week days, I go hang out with me friends at daytime, and I don't take ANY shoe with me, because I just go hang out with my friends, walking down the street in bare feet or running. But if I go wearing any shoes, they always come off.
Really; people walk barefoot a lot in Brazil, specially in Rio. if you go to nightclubs, or other places where young people like me go to dance, you'll perceive that many teen or even young adult girls take their sandals, tennis shoes or high-heels off so they can dance more comfortably . For me, the only way to dance is barefoot  . Another place u can see barefoot people is at school, in physics education.
Kisses!
Love,
