I thought it was illegal also. Much to my surprise Wikipedia/Barefoot/way down the page/ clearly suggests otherwise.
Some people speculate that driving barefoot increases the risk of an accident if bare feet slip off the pedals.[111] It is legal throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom to drive barefoot.[111][112][113] However, in some US jurisdictions, police officers may ticket a driver for other things if the fact that they were driving barefoot or in flip-flops/high heeled shoes hindered their driving and/or resulted in an accident.[114]
It must be true. It's on the internet.
