I Hate Wearing Shoes

I honest to God don’t understand people who wear shoes inside their own house. I’m just extremely astounded and flabbergasted by it... But to each their own! Words cannot explain how much I adore being barefoot (and my big bare feet) and how much I despise/loathe (wearing) shoes and socks.

I got rid of all my shoes and socks and am now barefoot 24/7. I’m only a few months away from going through a year without putting any yucky shoes or socks on my feet! Keep the barefoot alive and kick those shoes and socks to the side!

Here’s one reason of which you may be unaware.
As a diabetic I don’t dare go barefoot anymore. I wear slippers even in the house. I have wood floors; I sweep and vacuum regularly, but it’s impossible to catch absolutely every staple, tack, piece of grit, etc. Part of the disease often means progressive nerve damage, and one can’t always discern even a really minor foot injury until it’s become infected. That’s how, especially older people, end up with complications, amputations, and such.
It was a small thing for me to give up, costing me nothing in terms of staying healthy.

@bijouxbroussard I spent a part of my career in an adjacent engineering field, anything to do with extremities and diabetes is absolutely no joke.

@bijouxbroussard I’m so sorry! 😢. Yes, I am aware that unfortunately some people have some health circumstances where they can’t go barefoot. Or perhaps it’s often ill advised for them to do so. I understand that.
