Here in Wisconsin, shoes are required in all state buildings - the
reason, I believe is health-related.  I confess this is a little
vague, but the point is that some dress code requirements may
proceed on a basis other than that of mandating appearance.

P.S.  I've seen plenty of people barefoot in state buildings here.
But the official position is that they're required.  I suppose
someone got athlete's foot or stepped on a piece of a broken
coffee cup or something.
