Improve Health
A popular reason for wearing shoes is to improve health. There are shoes made for health purposes, such as improving body posture, improving blood circulation, and treating various other diseases. The majority of doctors also recommend using indoor shoes to relieve foot ailments such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, and shin injuries.
Americans think that wearing clean shoes will cause less damage to the carpet than bare feet. Over time, it is the oil that accumulates and is absorbed by the feet that can cause damage to the carpet and make it dull. So, wearing comfortable shoes with clear soles and cleaning your carpet regularly is the best way to keep your carpet safe in the long term.
Have Cleaner Roads
The majority of cities in the United States are mud-free, including many paths, sidewalks, and high asphalt areas. So, there is little chance of their footwear getting dirty and muddy. Whether they are working or coming home, their shoes will stay clean and tidy. This causes many people to wear shoes even at home.
Foot Infection Protection
Many Americans wear shoes to protect themselves from dust and small insects such as spiders or ants, which can cause harm or cause disease due to the spread of disease by these small insects.
They believe that if they don’t wear shoes at home, they will be vulnerable to contracting various diseases that can make them sick for a long time.
Prevent Slips and Falls
This is especially true for elderly people. Research shows that more than fifty percent of people over 50 have fallen while wearing insoles, sandals or socks without shoes.
The reason is that elderly people have more supple skin on their feet and weaker senses, so they cannot maintain balance when walking, standing or standing at home.
More comfortable
Furthermore, the reason many US people prefer to wear shoes inside the house is for comfort reasons. Wearing footwear ensures that feet remain well supported, warm, and warm in their environment. Besides being able to protect your feet if you often trip or hit furniture, shoes can provide additional security.
