Sure, it's disgusting to you or me, so I would not expect you or I to walk barefoot in the lav, but if someone else wants to, what difference does it make to you or me?

I'm basically neutral I guess.
It does seem odd how feet evoke such strong emotions on both sides. I wonder if it's because in our culture most people's feet are hidden most of the time? In years gone by, women's ankles were always kept hidden, and apparently it was common for men to have an ankle fetish.

Absolutely and fully agree. People should not intrude any part of their body on anyone else's personal space uninvited.

Indeed. Just as an example, people bring bags, purses, etc. into toilet stalls and set them on the floor, then they put them on a table in a restaurant or lounge. How is that different from someone walking into a lav and then putting feet on the table? If anything, it's worse, since the bag or purse bottom makes full contact with the toilet stall floor and the table, while feet on a table usually only make edgewise contact.
