The ability to move around is one of the greatest gifts most living beings have. For humans, it is with help of the feet. Protecting legs and feet is thus essential for health and comfort. When we go outdoors, we often wear shoes to protect our feet. Question is what about indoors: do you wear slippers to protect your feet or go barefoot? Slippers can provide cushioning and protection and if beneficial in case the floors are hard. Slippers can prevent to a certain extent the discomfort of stepping on sharp objects, often a big benefit when we have pets or kids. Some footwears also are beneficial for people with foot issues. I personally wear slippers indoors. I have specific ones for indoors and outdoors. Walking barefoot at home improves flexibility and strengthen the foot muscles naturally. Some find it more comfortable and a sense of freedom when walking barefoot at home. However, strain to feet and heel pain are more probable to happen when we walk barefoot. So, are you better wearing footwear at home or is it comfortable without wearing the slippers at home?
