Speaking only for myself, with no claim of expertise on this subject, I hate wearing shoes of any kind without socks. My feet get sweaty and smelly. I've known other people who don't seem to have this problem, so I must conclude it is based on your individual physiology.
Consider any locker room with a shower to be a petri dish of bad things ranging from athletes foot to plantar warts. Going barefoot in that environment can be hazardous to your health.
>Hi. Is it true that dancing barefoot in slippers can lead to the skin condition eczema? I've heard that wearing training shoes without socks is not advisable because of this. But ballet sock or footed tights are nylon and non absorbent and would therefore caues the same problem wouldnt they? Please help as I prefer to go barefoot with footless tights. [/i]
