Hubby took shoes off when we landed on AC and did't put them back on till we took of back to the mainland. I personally thought it was a bit yucky in town at times and I really thought he was going to get cut by some glass somewhere but he didn't. Finally, none of the restaurants, or anybody else for that matter, care if you have shoes on or not and a muscle shirt will do superbly in the finest dining establishments. laugh Alas, this is one of the many reasons we LOVE AC!!!
