Yes, Jack, in Oz it's easier to go barefoot when the weather is warmer, more difficult in full summer heat because of the hot pavements or asphalt roads, not unbearable in most of our winter weather unless it is really cold (i.e. 10 deg C/50 deg F!) but I've discovered sherpa socks so my habit of going barefoot in the house has gone by the wayside in winter.
