I was on a commuter plane a few months ago that was filled with a young group of boys (7-9 years old?). I was lucky enough to use the restroom after a few of the boys had used it. (I couldn't hold it anymore -- a tight connection didn't allow me time to use the restroom in the terminal). These boys had to have had the worst aim possible, the restroom floor was covered in urine and the whole place reeked. I was desperate but was also wearing very long pants with my 3" heels. I tried to cover the floor with papertowels to absorb some of the moisture and then had to keep my pants hiked to my knees (to keep them from touching the floor) while trying not to touch anything near the toilet with any part of my body. It was painful but thankfully, I believe the only contaminated part of me when I left the restroom was the soles of my shoes.
It was disgusting.
I still don't understand how anyone can walk in a public restroom in their barefeet!
