I came across this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2189145/Podiatrist-banned-Tesco-insisting-walking-store-barefoot.html About a Podiatrist here in the UK who had the same problems. I found Steve's site and entered into email correspondence with him regarding his success. (http://www.stepfree.co.uk/). After he had provided me with the relevant laws and regulations (There are none) And he had offered me advice on how to deal with them I went into our local store and asked to see the manager. He came out with the same old Blarney about Health and Safety and risks of me suing them for injury.
Dog, could you please add this podiatrist's contact info to our Barefoot-Friendly Doctors & Specialists Map? We would much appreciate it.
