Is this a no-no, in the same category as curling in the squat rack?

Or is working out while shoeless acceptable?

I ask cause I kick off my shoes while doing certain exercises, but I never really see anyone else doing similarly. Am I in the wrong?

I'd say learn to love yourself stop worrying about what other people think

But then you wouldn't be at the gym so much

I don't, but I see other people do it. I see no problem.

As long as the gym management is fine with it, it should not matter.

I might go shoeless on deadlift or squat. Anyone who doesn't like it can lick my ballsack.

I take my pants off when doing squats. If anyone doesn't like it, they can come confront me about it, bro.

I've never seen this. I know folks like to work out in those toe shoes though.

Do what you want. If you lift heavy things then no one will care. If you are puny and weak, then wear shoes.

I don't care if someone takes their shoes off but it's usually a gym rule to keep them on. And there ain't nothing wrong with curling in the squat rack if there is more than 1 and they're not being used.

Unless you're Dennis Rodman, yes!

It's bad hygiene

I hate it when dudes take their clothes off. First shoes then before you know it everyone's naked flinging ball sweat all over the dumbbells. This isn't Ancient Greece!

Keep your shoes on. Don't be gross.

Shoeless is fine, but wear socks at least
