Preparing our clothing for prayer

Hi,

"How does one prepare his clothing? First he fixes his clothing and makes himself look fine… He should not pray in his moneybelt, or with a bare head, or with his feet revealed, if local practice is that one would not stand before a respected person without shoes."

(Rambam, Mishneh Torah, Laws of Prayer 5:5)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

  1. is this equally true of blessings in general? May one make a bracha with out shoes?

  2. As I understand it, barefoot blessings are permitted, although not ideal.
