I've seen from time-to-time various references in so called 'energy work' about standing barefoot to ensure that you are 'grounded'.

I've stumbled across two interesting skeptical blog posts by a member of the Barefooting movement, relating to this particular notion which I make available.

I don't know about "grounding", but it's a good way to pick up parasites. People have worn something on their feet since the first man took the first dog for a walk.
