Dear Mr. Rupprecht:

I have received your letter concerning the requiring of shoes or footwear in establishments open to the general public. Unfortunately, I do not have any good answers for you.

This question has come up before and I have not been able to find any regulations pertaining to this. There is no direct reference to this in the Wisconsin Food Code.

If I can be of further assistance, feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
