Barefoot or shoes?

Ask:
It's that time of year when kids love to be outdoors all the time *(yeah!!). My kids love being in their bare feet. I don't mind it, but what drives me crazy is how dirty they can get!!! However, when the grass is wet with dew my four year old will request for his sandals!! He's so cute

Do your kids like their shoes on or off during the summer?
Answer:

OFF! It doesnt matter if its summer or winter! lol
Answer:

Not sure. I never really ask because i just make them wear them. On our property they really need to wear something on their feet because of the weeds and black top.
Answer:

I think they like wearing their barefeet more because last night, before bed, my four year old "reminded me" that they needed to clean their feet before putting on their jammies. I honestly don't know what I would do without this kid! He keeps me in check! (not that I forgot to do that, but he always seems to know the order of events!!!)
Answer:

They like everything off. I think they would go naked all the time if I let them. They are still small and I sure this will change as they get older. If not then I will really worryLOL
Answer:

Pretty much OFF all the time!
Answer:

we have a pool in our yard so they are pretty much barefoot!! tho they have flip flops they wear a LOT!!
Answer:

I go barefoot a lot more than my kids. I rarely wear shoes, but it is half/half for them.
Answer:

Nope, Never. Mine are not to go outside without their sandals, slippers or shoes. They must wear shoes to even play in the garage. You never know. I'm one of those better safe than sorry people. Now I myself have gone barefoot outside if i'm just going out to check the mail or throw the trash out, but I'm always on the lookout when I take my steps. Once my DH had dropped a bottle of wine in the drive-way and forgot to mention it to me. He did clean up but must have left a couple of small pieces of glass here and there, but I was glad that I was the one who saw the broken pieces and not my boys.
Answer:

Outside the kids have to wear shoes.We have woods behind us and they go up there and play.Inside shoes off all the time.
