We don't allow barefootedness in the garage; there is too likely to 
be something on the floor that will hurt or injure a bare
foot. Also, its much dirtier than the house and dust, dirt or
grease can be tracked in; for some reason, this seems more
noticable from bare feet than from shoe soles. In the house or
yard it depends on the weather and activity.
