Hi ... our children sometimes wear socks as an additional layer of insulation inside their minimal shoes when it's really cold and everything is frozen outside. But they definitely prefer their feet bare, indoors all the time, outside when it's not terribly cold (sub-freezing).
I'm now reminded of one of our older daughter's friends, she likes collecting and wearing colorful/pictorial socks and gave my daughter a few pairs as a gift, on a sunny autumn day they both went to town in their socks for fun. Predictably they all get quite dirty on the soles and quickly get damaged. I think it's a waste of fabric and bare feet look much better, I also told that to my daughter but I guess her friend might think differently.
I think it's important to go barefoot regularly, especially at young age, and to do that year round if possible so you never lose practice. But I wouldn't force my children, they are free to decide as they like.
