That's fantastic (but an anklet is not okay? I guess in some sports it might be dangerous but I don't see the problem in regular classes).
Did they inspire any others so far?
It's still mostly summery temperatures here, but not unbearably hot so my three are all barefoot in shorts. There are a few other occasional barefooters in class who slip off their shoes at some point and stay barefoot until then, one boy in my older son's class was barefoot all day a few times when it was hot and my one of my daughter's friends follows her example when she feels like it. Luckily teachers don't care, they are reasonable enough not to make a problem of what isn't any issue at all.
Autumn is coming gradually, some mornings are crisp and fresh but there's no sharp drop in temperature yet. Our children appreciate that very much!
I guess at some point when it does cool down (or "calendar says summer is definitely over"?) my kids will be the only ones still going barefoot. We recently donated six pairs of shoes to the red cross, they had all grown out of them ...
