Ah the feet thread...in current circumstances I don’t really mind what people wear on their feet (providing there’s no unwelcome scent), however I do mind that they wear a mask on their face.

I was once in CE when the guy behind me had pretty much done this along the side of my window seat. I can't remember what object I had in my hand at that moment, but I used it to smack his foot down.

Couldn't care less especially in those days. A socked foot is not any cleaner than a bare foot, and I find it worse when people put their shoe'ed foot on a chair/wall than a bare or socked one.

Quite frankly, at the moment, what I want to see are mask-wearing faces, keeping social distancing, and putting their hand or better elbow in front of their mouth when they cough if it happens at a time when their mask is unfortunately down. Ideally, I also want them as far away from me as humanly possible.

For the rest, whether they wear flip flops, trainers, or stilettos, on bare foot, tights, or socks, jeans, three piece suits, or kilts, caps or hats, boxers, briefs, or thongs or for that matter whether they are "leisure" or "business" travellers or something in between does not interest me in the least nor is it any of my business.

I have to confess to having brought slip on sandals on long haul flights for slipping on and off to go to the loo. Didn’t realise it was so offensive!

Travelling in exit seats I was (rightly) asked to keep shoes on for take off and landing.

You are allowed to tickle the guy's feet with a feather. In fact, in the dogbox next to the jemmy (or, on Airbuses, the axe) there's a peacock feather stored there for this purpose (the jemmy and/or axe can be used should the feather not yield the hoped-for results).

I am, mine are all christened on Brazilian beaches prior to general use.

Flying in flip flops is fine. Being barefoot in the cabin is not.

Watched a guy in First operate the touch screen tv with his big toe on route to KL. I was repulsed and impressed in equal quantities.

A footwear on flights thread has arrived at last... Nature is healing

Are people suggesting socks with sandals?

Yup! Done in Japan - and especially in hoi-paloi tea ceremonies. Other countries have folks wear socks too - there is a slot woven in the sox, believe it or not.

True, it's probably tough on the wearer's feet with jackboots on all day.

The smell from the offenders’ feet should encourage decent people to put their masks on pronto.
