Is it bad to workout barefoot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It is generally not an issue to workout barefoot, but it depends on the type of exercise. Barefoot running can be done if proper mechanics are used. Doing heavy weight with out footwear may pose a safety hazard, especially with slipping.
