Byron, I'm sure it used to be legal in FL. Good friend of mine had his driving instructor tell him something like; You're not in Minnesota any more. This would have been 1988ish

You are correct sir, I was going by something that happened years ago and a buddy got a ticket for driving barefoot (we were going surfing) and it just stuck in my head..
But a quick search turned this up..

I don't believe your source is accurate Byron. From my research, it does not appear that any state has a law specifically prohibiting driving a car barefoot. It may not be recommended, but it is not prohibited.

Did it a lot when I was younger wearing flip flops. Easy to take them off.

Now a days, I may take off my shoes and wear socks on a long trip.
