Hello, I've only been to Fanime once before in the past and my friend who came with me was wondering if you could walk around barefoot. Trust me I know it's not a smart idea and I'll make sure she brings shoes (and band-aids). Heaven forbid someone with 6 inch heels steps on her foot.

Thank you ~ Sephroe Zion

No you are not allowed to walk around barefoot for exactly the reasons you pointed out.

Some people might for cosplays, but mostly it's shoes/flip flops or whatever.

Walking barefoot in any public space is typically not allowed let alone the SJCC. I'd point out the whole "No Shoes No Shirt No Service" signs you see everywhere, except I don't know if/how that would apply to the convention center.

Something that is widely recommended for barefoot cosplays is always clear flip-flops. Besides, think about all the walking you'd have to do on the concourse. If you got something protecting your soles underneath, I guarantee you that your feet will be thanking you for it by the end of the Memorial Day weekend.

L does wear shoes though. He just takes them off when he wants to sit

Really??? I don't know. It looks sort of expensive to make, especially on the details.

You could walk around barefoot (I've seen people do it before) but I would suggest bringing shoes... you can always take them off for pics!

Considering the boss of the people that would be telling you to put on shoes just said that you may not be barefoot, I would listen to him.

In that vein, are we allowed to walk around in ballet shoes, foot thongs or other dance footwear?

I have no idea what a foot thong is, but as long as you are not Bare-Foot, then yes.

For those of you who saw people walk around barefoot, they were probably told by Rovers staff to put on shoes. I know that for a fact.

Unless you wear something that covers the bottom of your feet, I think that qualifies as "barefoot"

Oh, my bad. I assumed flip-flops, as thongs are pretty much their synonym if you aren't talking about panties and the like.



Steve is still lame, though.
