Is it uncivilized to walk barefoot in public?

Whether barefoot is regarded as uncivilized behavior is mainly related to barefoot occasions and barefoot conditions.

First, barefoot in some temples or similar places in Thailand.

Barefoot is perfectly reasonable in this case. After all, the choice of barefoot is out of culture or respect for others. In this case, barefoot is not only uncivilized, but also worthy of praise.

Two, barefoot in railway stations, passenger stations and other places with large traffic.

Strictly speaking, it is not uncivilized to go barefoot on this occasion. Railway stations, passenger stations and other places are mixed. If you go barefoot on these occasions, you only need to pay attention to two problems.

The first one comes from the vigilance of security inspectors and the gaze of pedestrians. If you dress neatly and go barefoot alone. Some people will think that you accidentally broke your shoes, but you can't buy another pair because you are in a hurry; People will think that you have some mental illness and accidentally ran out of control from home. Believe me, a kind security inspector will ask you many times to help you in time.

Second, if someone accidentally steps on his feet, it may hurt more than stepping on his shoes. However, this is relatively easy to overcome compared with strange eyes.

Third, barefoot on some occasions, such as trains/high-speed trains/taxis and other means of transportation.

This should be discussed in different situations. If your feet have no smell, people will only think that your barefoot behavior is because you feel uncomfortable wearing shoes or it is your personal hobby. This is certainly not uncivilized behavior.

But if your feet smell so bad that people around you have to cover their mouths and noses, this is uncivilized behavior, which is likely to lead to physical conflicts between people in the same car and you.

In fact, without affecting others, the difference between barefoot and wearing shoes is that barefoot people may look at you more. When you show that barefoot is my hobby when there is no smell on your feet, everyone's reaction is nothing more than caring about whether your feet hurt or not. The hobby is a bit strange. Of course, for the safety of others at the station, the security inspector will definitely pay more attention to you.
