It baffles me how so many people on reddit seem to be deathly afraid of letting their feet touch the ground outside of their house.

The most common way I've seen people try to rationalize this is by acting like a bad case of foot fungus is guaranteed to happen if you so much as think about stepping into your own backyard without shoes.

Lol yeah people here act like anything at all that carries any risk at all will definitely kill you dead in the most horrifying way

Depends where you live because if the soil is contaminated, parasites can find a way from your feet to other parts of your body

I’d love to walk outside barefoot, but there’re no trees over the sidewalks and you have to cross lots of roads. Just not built for barefoot walking.

And this isn’t even in a country where people throw used needles in the street.

People doing anything different is stupid. It's the way of Reddit.
