Maybe you're right. One of us might be up there up in the advertising ring.
Whatever it is, I'd like to see alot more of it as my eyes are fixed to commercials/infomercials like that...

I think that people in advertising, in order to get where they are, must be very smart and very driven. They know a lot of things about a lot of things. And they have to get maximum effectiveness in 15 or 30 seconds. So if they think something will appeal to some people in one way and others in another that's great. The woman shoeless on the couch might mean to a woman "wouldn't it be nice to be comfortable like that" and to a guy, "if she's comfortable like that maybe I can get her in the mood for sex". And if some husbands are thinking " if she sits on the couch like that I can stare at her feet", well that doesn't hurt the sofa store either.

Here's another idea. It's a pathway, a progress bar, from the outside world to the bed at night. Somewhere along the line the shoes come off. Then the socks or the panty hose. The sooner you get to that stage the more time you have to work towards a score at the other end of the field. "you are getting sleepy" "you are getting horny" "don't you see how you" "need" "this" "sofa" (or carpet, or dishwasher or whatever)

Mighty Mike has it right. In ads which are directed at females that are trying to portray the model as comfortable/relaxed/secure, she will be shown barefoot. There has been some evolution in this as barefoot women, many decades ago, were seen as sexually available or vulnerable. I'll skip the lengthy discussion and just go to the last page of what could have become a treatise to say that more recent depictions of barefoot women usually are meant to convey not just availability but sexual command with less emphasis on vulnerability.
Neil Young stressed that "Rust Never Sleeps". He might have changed his thought if he ever saw the meeting room in a Marketing company.
