Walking around barefoot indoors might feel comfy, but it’s not the best move for either your feet or your bed’s cleanliness. No matter how often you clean, your floors still collect dust, dirt, bacteria, and even allergens, especially in corners, rugs, or areas that are harder to reach. When you walk barefoot, all that grime sticks to the soles of your feet, and if you jump straight into bed afterwards, especially on those nights when you’re too tired to shower. It transfers right onto your sheets. Over time, this can lead to buildup, which affects both hygiene and sleep quality.

Shit I walk around barefoot outside.
You’re saying not to do it inside?
You ever clean the inside of your shoes? Lol.
Socks are a prison….I won’t wear them unless it’s freezing or absolutely necessary
I feel like if you’re doing everything you should be doing – like keeping clean floors, showering and washing your bedding, this is a non issue.
There should be a Reddit for stupid opinions. This one isn’t unpopular; it belongs there.
Ah fuck that, as soon as I get it shoes and socks come off, so my feet can breathe and allow for sweat to dry off.
if you want to wear flip flops or sandals, you do you, but I like being barefoot.
I wear my orange crocks
Honestly I’m never too tired to shower at night.
>It transfers right onto your sheets. Over time, this can lead to buildup, which affects both hygiene and sleep quality
Isn’t washing your sheets a thing?
I wash my sheets once a week, not sure there would be enough buildup to cause a health issue
YOU shouldn’t walk barefoot around YOUR house.
Life is too damn short for this bullshit lmfao.
You ever watch the Inside Edition video about wearing your shoes inside? It’s disgusting. Unless you only wear a specific pair of house shoes that never go outside, there is no way it’s more hygienic to wear your nasty ass shoes inside period.
I like being barefoot, esp when the weather is hot. Even wearing thin socks makes me overheat. I have some baby wipes handy to clean my feet if they get dirty, or just step in the shower.
Barefoot is better than animals that walk around in their homes with shoes on
I don’t care what other people do in their house but nothing is worse than when you step on some gross thing on the floor or when your foot sticks to the wood. Socks only !
Breaking News: bed sheets get dirty as you use them, more at 11.
ewww – and your shoes from the outside doesn’t collect dust? a reasonable person would clean and mop their floor weekly or make time to do it. You can wear an indoor slipper but not outside shoes
Do you not wash your sheets regularly? How much build up happens over 1-2 weeks.
I walk barefoot A LOT. Sensory issues. You know how a bad itch gets, when you almost supersede anything you’re doing – sex, driving, anything which takes a lot of your normal attention – and you HAVE TO GET AT THAT ITCH AND SCRATCH IT NOW?
That’s kind of at times what shoes do to me. It’s soooooooo goddamn uncomfortable. Socks to a lesser degree.
I do however agree with getting into bed after that. I typically have some wipes to do a last minute foot clean before retiring.
Well this would be a huge problem for me if I never changed my fucking sheets….
I would be barefoot everywhere if I could. Just gotta remember to scrub them dogs in the shower
Im baredfoot right now.
Do you think our feet are black at the end of the day?
Redditor doesn’t tolerate what people do in their personal space.
I never walk barefoot, but i think people should be allowed to walk how ever they want in their own home.
My brother in christ, ive fallen asleep on my floor more times than I care to admit, walking on it before getting in bed aint doin myself that much of a disservice. Just keep the carpet clean and we’re chillin
Never walk barefoot in or out of my house.
I don’t really care. I live in the south. We hate shoes.
