Let’s play ‘What’s Worse on Transit?’

Rider Charles asked us the other day, “Which is worse?”
A) Resting your bare feet on the opposite seat
B) Resting your shoe-clad feet on the opposite seat

I’m not sure that makes any difference. Transit is transit, though there is the cloth-seats factor.
Anyway, which do you choose: A or B?
