This forum seems to have a strong aversion to naked feet anywhere, so I can't see many sympathisers emerging.
That said, as someone who would happily live barefoot if I could, I would draw the line at putting my bare feet (or indeed anything) on the sofa. After all, who knows what sort of stuff is lurking there from people's bags and the like...

I have never seen anyone do that in the CCR and while I do not have any intention to impose my moral principles on others, I do not think that this would be justifiable:
- There are cabanas which are available to prebook precisely for people who believe that they will need to rest;
- There are also plenty of seats with related footstalls which can be used to lay down with your feet up;
So frankly, to lay down on your sofa (something I happily do at home but not in public places) when there are several alternative settings explicitly aimed at enabling you to lay down in spaces organised for that purpose is simply unjustifiable in my view.
PS: Bare or socked feet is entirely irrelevant in my view.

I've seen this sort of behaviour in GC South and it's disgusting.

Cabanas or foot stools should be first option. However I have been known to try to relax on a sofa in GF when all things with foot stalls seemed occupied.
I don't think bare feet are particularily nice in an airport lounge... A bit different in a hotel lounge in Hawaii or Thailand where flip-flops and bare feet are part of daily life.

I'm afraid I have, and even some of the 'celebrity' visitors have taken to this rather unpleasant, and quite selfish, habit. I have seen two people from one family take over two entire areas of the CCR, the area behind Quintessentially where bags were placed on all the single seats whilst the 'gentleman' member of the family slept barefooted on the sofa whilst the 'lady' of the family took up residence on the sofa behind the door agent. Given the amount a gas she was passing as she lay there it was obvious she'd eaten a lot of beans on her flight from the USA.
Very unpleasant.
