I would never go bare footed or even in just socks in public transport, I have either my 'loose' crocs or flipflops for long flights. You can definitely catch things such as a varucca from unconscionable previous fliers
I remember as a teenager a many years ago I caught a varuuca from rented iceskates in London , so wearing socks is zero protection when selfish xxxxx'rs with such contagious personal health issues don't care about infecting others!
