I have the MSFFW and use it barefoot as well. I have one word of warning,
though.
The back-side of the pedal edges on the MSFFW are RAZOR sharp. It look like
absolutely no smoothing is applied to the back side of the pedals at the
factory.
It will bite you (and I have used many a band-aid proving it) especially if
the pedals are too far away, and you wrap your feet around the back of them
to pull them towards you. Instant cut.
Be careful :)
