Can walking barefoot in the house cause any harm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Make sure there are no pieces of broken glass, tacs or other foreign objects that you can step on. Hars surfaces like tile may be hard on feet if constantly walking. Aside from that, you should be ok as long as you are in no pain and are not diabetic or insensate.
