Why do kids have to wear socks without shoes in McDonalds play areas?

A lady complained to the manager about some kids not wearing socks and they made them get off the play area. It’s still summer weather and kids wear sandles without socks. I felt so sorry for the little kids.

    kids get fungus and athletes feet just like adults, it is a saftey net for mcDonalds as well as some can track in animal feces, spit or anything else on their shoes before they get caught with their shoes on.
    and they are very contageous including ring worm and other diseases that may be on their feet too

    However gross it sounds there is a reason..Lots of little bodies running, sliding, scooting with shoes on is a recipe for a black eye or broken nose. It is not as bad to be kicked in the face by someone barefooted but add shoes and many it hurts. Also for sanitary reasons such a dog poo and other nasty things kids step in. Sock are for sanitary reason such as athletes foots and other bacteria. It keeps them on the child that they arrived on and not all over the equipment and other children.

    It is clearly posted that socks must be worn so don’t feel sorry for the kids for not having socks on. Feel sorry for them having ignorant parents. Plus McDonalds sells socks.

    I always sent my son in with his sandals on during the summer months. I didn’t want him getting a fungus.

    God bless!

    its for hygiene reasons. Say some kids had athletes foot and went in there with no socks on, theres a possibility every kid would catch it!

    For obvious reasons! For those kids who wear sandals, just bring along a pair of socks for them! Feet carry stuff, like warts and all that fun stuff. Pretty gross, I wouldn’t want my daughter’s feet catching any of that.

    If they were shoes, others can get hurt. The sock are to keep fungus down. The feet are dirty and sweaty all the time, not to mention cooped up in shoes. The sock are supposed to help keep thge fungus from spreading.

    I never understood it much, the fungus can get through the material of the sock I am sure. Not to mention the hands are not protected in anyway.

    I do not have to understand, I just follow the rules posted.
