YES YES YES! Do not EVER wear open-toed shoes to Mardi Gras, lest you get some very unpleasant surprises on your feet. Especially in the French Quarter. Its not so bad along the St. Charles parade route, but its still dirty.
All the locals have "mardi gras shoes" which means you wear them once, and then throw them away, or wear them again next mardi gras. The shoes I wore for mardi gras this year are still sitting in the garage
