Cringy and disgusting — those might be the first words many people think of when they see someone going barefoot on an airplane. Or even worse — then this someone tries to put their feet on the armrests of other passengers. There are sanitary and safety dangers in removing shoes on the plane, and they are way more serious than we might think.
Most airplanes don’t allow their passengers to have much private space. That’s why it’s important to respect each other’s comfort and not spoil the experience of the trip. Even though airliners have no public policy that prohibits removing your shoes during a flight, the view of your naked feet can make other passengers feel disgusted and disrespected.
During the flight our body can change under the pressure it experiences. This means that our ears can pop, we can taste food differently, and our hands and feet might swell. So, if you remove your shoes before take-off, you might experience difficulties after you land.
Some passengers don’t even bother wearing their shoes when visiting the toilet. A plane’s restroom might seem nice and clean, but in reality you never know what previous visitors did in there before you entered. For the sake of hygienic reasons, it’s better to have your shoes on while visiting the restroom. Also, some flight attendants even confess that they feel annoyed when they see passengers entering this place barefoot.
If any emergency happens, during the panic, any little thing can make it hard to evacuate. If a lot of people remove their shoes, they might end up scattered all over the ground. This debris not only gets in the way of other passengers making their way to safety, but also make it hard to move for those who removed them in the first place.
It can happen that you are just too tired after your travel and after hanging out in the airport for half a day. When you finally get on the plane, you might want to free your feet from your uncomfortable shoes and let them relax a bit. You can do this, but just keep your socks on. Though, as soon as you feel that they’ve relaxed a bit, it’s better to put your shoes back on.

shoes ke ander socks Badbhu ka Bandaar.Bagalwala will get up yry to go But Where?
matteri is trivial but to b considered
just thinking about someone's dirty feet next to me.. that's gross ?
people who do it obviously have no manners. They just don't care about how other people feel
I would feel ashamed though, I don't like disturbing people around me
I don't think such people even understand that they are disturbing, in their world it's normal ?♀️
Just knowing that is impolite should be reason enough to NOT do it?
Yeah, some people don´t even notice they have bad smell...
I could never do this. It kills me knowing the bacterias I could catch just by doing it
