While I don't agree with it and it's against store policy, I don't think I'd be all that upset to see a child in a Wally's World barefoot.

Now the time I went to the Louisville Zoo was a different story. Saw a whole family barefoot! Now figuring that it was 95 degrees that day and sunny as all heck, that black top had to have been HOT!!! It's also a BIG zoo with lots of walking on that hard surface. Now that one did tick me off that not only did the parents allow all 3 children to go that way, but didn't have enough sense to put shoes on their own feet as well. And I don't go for the 'couldn't afford shoes' thing, you can buy a pair of cheap crappy flip flops for a couple bucks, less if you get them at a garage sale or something.
