Default Why sailors wear shoes

Topsiders. Slip them on when you need them and take them
off when you don't.

Bare feet are also good for feeling lines under your feet.

I would add, if you have flat feet, as I do, an extended period of
sailing+barefeet=extremely sore, painfully sore ankles, when going
ashore.

Maxprop can tell you exactly why sailors should wear shoes....


But I still sail barefoot.
