Hello there Zumba!
We see it as a healthy and enjoyable thing that's very easily integrated with everyday life. As adults we might sometimes feel out of place as the only ones barefoot, but for the children, not giving a thought to footwear all day long is just a natural thing.
Wherever we show up with three barefoot kids in summer it's absolutely no problem and if anything, gets a smile out of others. Other kids are sometimes curious and a few of them want to try the same (with mixed reactions by their parents, some aren't ready to let their child go barefoot even if others obviously do it with no problem, they're overly afraid of injuries).
I'm sure that walking barefoot everywhere made their feet a lot stronger and tougher, also easily withstanding the hot road surface on sunny days. They also never have "ice cold feet" even when sitting still for a long time. Within a few years they developed nice arches standing out against their toepads, balls and heels blackened by the road in city, a look they now see as an expression of fun and freedom.
Speaking of dirt, most of it is easily scrubbed off with a brush. Occasionally they walk right through the mud with a grin, knowing all the others would get in trouble for making their shoes dirty ... Mud is easily cleaned off with water and our kids know they shouldn't go into any shop or home with muddy feet so they only do that when they have a way to clean it off.
And how do you do it, do you have children of your own?
