People routinely walk on an airplane in flip flops, which are not shoes – they’re foot protectors. There is no difference between a foot in a flip flop and a bare foot. People need to just get over their odd foot issues and accept that whether a foot finds itself naked on an airplane because its host chose a flip flop or a shoe is immaterial.

The number one way to prevent deep vein thrombosis is flexing of the toes while on a plane to pump the deep veins of the legs. To do this unencumbered by a shoe aka foot prison is possibly a life saving measure. I have it under good authority from Captain Kirk aka Phil that the air flow in the cabin of a plane goes from high to low so your over sensitive olfactories should survive the trip.
There is a unique smell to a foot recently unfettered from a shoe as opposed to a foot that never had a shoe, but was always in a sandal. I can’t explain the science, but the smell is real and substantial. Don’t be the rude person that forces the rest of the freaking plane to smell your unpleasantness. Being on a plane is miserable enough as it is.
