Do you like walking barefoot? Explain your reasons.

No, I don’t like walking barefoot, because it is uncomfortable for me. My parents have taught me to walk by wearing shoes since I was a child. As a result, I'm not familiar with it. Therefore, I dislike the sensation of rough textures and uneven surfacers beneath my feet. Furthermore, walking barefoot exposes me to injuries that can result in painful cuts or damage from sharpened objects in the ground, such as rocks or glass. Walking without shoes increases the chances of bringing dirt and germs into our bodies because public places aren't always clean. Also, walking barefoot in the winter keeps my feet too cool, and walking barefoot in the summer makes my feet too hot, which will cause me discomfort. For these reasons, I prefer to wear shoes to ensure my comfort and safety.

How important is taking care of your feet?

Taking care of my feet is critical to my overall hygiene. Keeping clean feet contributes to a healthy life. I keep my feet clean and prevent infections by performing simple practices such as washing them daily with soap and water, thoroughly drying them, and applying moisture. Trimming toenails straight across will aid in the prevention of nail diseases.

What do you think of the saying “Don't walk barefoot, parasites can get in”?

That is a true statement in my opinion. When we walk barefoot, we expose our feet to various dangers, including parasites, especially in public places and outdoors. Parasites are tiny creatures that can enter our bodies through the skin and cause infections and diseases. Wearing shoes acts as a protective barrier, preventing these parasites from entering our bodies directly. Parasites are more likely to be encountered in areas where animals roam or where human activity is high. Therefore, wearing shoes reduces the risk of parasitic infections. Hence, this saying serves as an important reminder for us to maintain proper foot hygiene and safety.

What do you think of a world without shoes?

I can't imagine a world without shoes. Shoes provide essential protection for our feet, protecting them from injuries, infections, and severe weather conditions. They also allow us to walk comfortably on different surfaces. In a world without shoes, we expose our feet to cuts, bruises, and diseases. Furthermore, simple acts such as walking to school or work will be difficult. It also badly impacts the shoe manufacturing and sales industries. Furthermore, without shoes, sports and recreational activities would decrease significantly. Finally, a world without shoes leads to an unhealthy society.
