You can. http://www.vivobarefoot.com/us/ladie...dies-2013.html

I wear these pretty much ALL winter. I don't use the strap over the top (I just step on it) and they look like ballet flats except that they are more foot shaped.

You are welcome.

On the pantyhose debate - I opt not to wear them in most situations but I do so by choosing skirts and footwear that allow me to skip it. I do not have nice legs, so short skirts and heels are not appropriate for me anyway. That said, if I was in a professional situation (like back when I worked for Polo Ralph Lauren and it mattered what I wore), I did wear them.

As Stacy and Clinton say - opt for either opaque in non-skin colors, or super duper sheer. With today's technology, pantyhose can be lovely - they are super sheer, light weight, and of excellent quality that keeps them from stretching out or bagging. They do snag though. And they do wonders if your legs are not toned, even in color and young.

In fact, when I was at Polo, our dress code specifically stated that hosiery was not necessary in the summer (we were in a resort location where casual was the norm anyway) unless your legs were not presentable. If your legs were not in good condition (ie, scraped up from a mountain biking accident or bright red from sunburn), you had to either wear hosiery or pants. No exceptions. I still use this as my guide when deciding if I can wear bare legs.
