My right foot is screwed up from not wearing shoes on deck. 
In Response To: Thanks to all those that provided solutions and didn't stick to the "wear shoes" mantra. ()
I fractured my foot on deck (ran into a cleat and broke it) and now it hardly fits into shoes. I have this giant knob on the joint of my big toe that's totally arthritic with a deteriorated joint. Now I need an operation and it will never be right again.
All because I didn't have shoes on.
That's why I wear shoes.
