Removing your shoes may seem like a simple habit, but it offers a wide range of unexpected benefits. According to a study published in the New York Times, going barefoot indoors can improve health and well-being in several ways.
Taking off your shoes allows your feet to breathe and move more freely, promoting blood flow and reducing stress levels. A study by the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that individuals who regularly removed their shoes had lower blood pressure and heart rates than those who wore shoes indoors.
