Discoloration was caused primarily by calcium chloride retarding the reaction of tetracalcium aluminoferrites in the cement. When hydration of this compound is retarded, it retains its dark color; hydration lightens it markedly. Some discoloration that's reported occurs when there's no calcium chloride in the concrete and no hard troweling. This form of discoloration is believed by some to be related to water that's trapped just beneath the surface during finishing.

Basically, if you can walk barefoot and it doesn't hurt, then yes. Many barefooters were born with arches lower than the "normal" but still enjoy the pleasures of going barefoot.

Moisture can cause a lot of problems for feet. It fuels the growth of bacteria, which cause odors and the painful fungal skin condition known as Athlete's Foot.
