What is the deal with forcing people to wear shoes in the gym?

@swettbaby6 You can workout barefoot. Note the Point A.1. here.

@swettbaby6 May be a new strategy from Modi. To sell more shoes from his friend's company. Safety and hygiene gaya bhad mei. Buying stocks of shoe company.

@onlychildmum Another masterstroke!

@swettbaby6 no outside shoes are allowed in my gym.I have to put on another pair of shoes for that gym. There are two options either get another pair of shoes specially for the gym or go barefoot. I like to be barefoot on leg days.

@swettbaby6 I just remove shoes when I do squats and calf raises. Otherwise I do wear shoes. But I can understand your sentiment. It genuinely feels much better without shoes.

@swettbaby6 Yep hygiene and safety is a issue and you gotta follow these basic rules of the place, I like to deadlift and squat barefoot, I just remove the shoes for those excercises (I still keep socks on) and wear them after finishing
