Colonel J posted:There seems to be studies around the internet saying that people who don't wear shoes have better foot health. Hygiene could be a point of contention but on the other hand, shoes and socks are basically a petri dish for bacteria. Sure, feet get dirty but we have the means to wash them. Sure, stepping on sharp things will cut you but isn't this because our feet are soft due to basically a lifetime of shoe wearing? It looks like a case of chicken and egg: you wear shoes because your soles are soft, but your soles are soft due to shoe use. This certainly doesn't answer your question directly, but you might to consider why humans began to use shoes in the first place. The chicken/egg question can actually be answered here because we know for a fact that people definitely decided to begin wearing shoes a really, really long time ago (across nearly all cultures) and - obviously - weren't wearing them before. The shoes came before the "needing to wear shoes due to feet weakened through the constant use of shoes." I'm guessing that it's due to the whole "stepping on sharp stuff" issue. Even if you have a good callus you're still going to gently caress yourself up if you step on glass or something (or a particularly sharp rock). It's just an unnecessary risk to take when you can just wear some sort of shoe. Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Feb 4, 2015 |

Unless you wash your feet many times every day, they're going to get disgusting. Hell, maybe even then. It doesn't take long for your feet to get completely covered in dirt and grime. If you left your house and walked a mile to your work (or wherever) they'd be pretty nasty by the time you got there.
