goatheads are nasty, but sandburs are evil
goatheads are pretty easy to spot, and they eventually get ground down so you can go barefoot again, or they are just always in the same place so wear smooth soled shoes there to avoid tracking them back to non-infested areas/inside.
sand burs are evil and they will let you walk into an area and then close ranks behind you so you can't get back out. Plus they jump and attach to shoe laces, socks and frayed jean hems all winter. Goatheads are mostly gone by then.
(don't google image for them there is a horrible pic of a poor dog with his face just covered in them)
