Jungian

A dream that focuses on the feetis a way of exploring your life direction and the sense of taking a path that will allow you to express your real attributes and strengths. Being barefoot symbolizes returning to your authentic nature in making a type of change. If you are looking for shoes - you may be searching for meaningful work.

Islamic (Ibn Sirin)

In a dream, it means toiling in one’s life and exhaustion. This is thus interpreted if one does not actually see himself going through the motion of taking off his shoes and walking barefooted. Otherwise, in that case, it means that he will receive an appointment to a high ranking position. Walking barefooted in a dream is also interpreted as unloading one’s burdens and relief from pressure, divorce or death in one’s family. If one sees himself traveling barefooted, it represents a debt that he could not repay. If one sees himself walking with one foot bare and the second fitted in the dream, it means breaking up a business partnership.
