I mind if they put their feet on my armrest. But in their own space, who cares? (Other than the pilot. If they say something, listen.).
This. Who cares? Before anyone asks, no it wouldn't bother me if it was my office or house. I routinely sit with my feet on the wall in my office when I'm thinking.
I don't go barefoot in a plane but that's more about protecting my feet than your eyes. As a Floridian I spend 75% of my life without shoes and even more without socks which I only wear when I must. Sometimes a pair of oxfords is required but usually I can get away with loafers or even better my dress flip-flops. I think if you're worried about toe jam you need to clean and air out your feet more.
