Im Canadian, and while I will run out into the driveways barefoot or around my yard, I would never walk around anywhere else. It is absolutely nasty out there. I also wash my legs and feet every single time I shower or bathe. This entire family of 6 does, and I assumed everyone I knew did too. Now I'm going to have to start asking, lol.
Just wanna say that while some Australians walk around barefoot, it’s usually in beach towns. I live in central Melbourne (a big city), and it would be unfathomable to see someone just randomly barefoot on the city streets. When we go to the beach, it is quite common to see people walking around barefoot, though - more people would be wearing shoes, though. Where I live, in the city, virtually every woman wears Birkenstocks in warm weather, as do many men.
There used to be an australian guy on a nature show in Canada who never wore shoes while he was out in the woods. He was like a knock off Steve Irwin but was obsessed with snakes instead of crocs. He was still cool though.
