Helmets while on ground/around the barn?

Along with helmets while handling horses, I would make it mandatory to wear boots or closed toe shoes around the horses. I can’t believe the number of people I see wearing flip flops or sandals while handling a horse. It makes me cringe.

I know my trainer would kick my butt down the aisle if I wore open toed shoes/flip flops near a horse.
I mostly wear paddock boots or Muck boots when not actually riding. I am trying to be nice to my tall boots. I do have a pair of mid calf gardening boots that I wear to hose and during the summer.
