How do you feel, going barefoot on the floor at doctor's office

It is little weird or discomfort or exciting for you Or feeling you more nude in this position?

For me, I don’t feel weird or excited, but the texture of the floors adds to the sensory experience for me. The floors at my pediatrician’s office were vinyl tile which was always cold underfoot, however, my current doctor’s office has laminate style wood flooring which still feels cold, but not as cold as tile.

I feel more naked and vulnerable.

I felt more naked and exposed in scrubs and white under clothes but no socks than in socks and a gown and no underwear

Honestly, I wouldn’t take my socks off unless/until I had to. Outside of home or the beach, I don’t go barefoot. It’s definitely one of my weird things. When I was little and my mom wanted to garden, she would put me on a blanket in the grass and take my shoes off. She knew I couldn’t move because I didn’t want my bare feet on the grass. The thought of what could be under my bare feet still grosses me out and makes me very uncomfortable.

I usually take my shoes and socks off first. So when my bare feet touch the floor it's a reminder that soon I will have bare legs and bare chest,that everyone in this room will see me in nothing then the tiniest bit of clothing. By the time I dress everyone in the room will see my unclothed body as it is examined. The next time I put my socks on I will have been touched everywhere.

I've literally never had my bare feet touch the floor at the doctor. It's not like they wipe the floor down after every patient. No thank you. I rarely have to get undressed anyway, that would just be silly.

Amen to that @arika! I don't even want to think about what's been on those floors. It's one thing if there's a legit reason to look my feet, but I've never done will with “because I said so”. Unless I've chosen to cede my autonomy to someone else's discretion, I'm gonna need some logic to back up any directions.

Never. I always bring an old pair of socks. I wear them to the exam table and when I am on the table they are taken off by either me or the nurse. Then they are placed in a plastic bag. My doctor likes to see toes and press on them. After the exam, the nurse who is usually still in gloved will put them back on. Then I go back to the dressing room and take them off and put them in a bag. If you think about it the doctors and nurses have been in hospitals, had nasty things happen even in their exam rooms to which they have stepped in.

Always keep socks on at the docs until asked to take them off. Once I called for an appointment for some numbness in my toes during the lockdown, Doc said to come in because she could not make a good determination if anything was wrong over a Zoom visit. When. I went in, I told her I put on clean socks for the visit (I actually did). She thanked me saying ….: “… you don't know how many people come in here with dirty socks or underwear!”.

Never walked on floor barefoot. Just barefoot for exam. I feel that would be unsanitary.

when my feet are examined my legs are usually on the table.

My feet aren't even bare on the exam table, I've never had a reason to take my socks off.

Wow, I live in a freshwater beach resort. For those who need some sole (soul?) protection it either flip flops or berkinstocks. Berks in the hospital for duty.

When I was younger I actually felt more nude when I kept my socks on for some reason. I’d have my gown, panties and socks on.

When I had to walk on the floor I’d like try to slide which I learned that they don’t appreciate for fears of you falling and getting hurt.

Tabitha32, i too like to see toes and press on them. I want to be your doctor😃. Than you for your reply.

Thank you. If i was your doctor, i would like too see you without socks. Yes, im foot fetish guy, but women!s feet are for me miracle of natural architecture. And of course not only feet😃

I am never barefoot at a doctor's office. Neither is my wife. For her GYN appointments she always wore socks and athletic shoes and kept her socks on and wore them when she went back in 2010 to her GYN. Then 10 years ago she threw away those shoes and has not been to her GYN or any doctor for a pelvic exam since 2010 nor has she had a complete physical exam of any kind in I don't know how many years, if ever.

there are some medical articles that state annual medical exams aren’t necessary. Good for her. Sounds like she’s healthy.

Only time i have been barefooted is when im having my annual diabetics check up and the doctor is checking my feet for sensitivity

The thing about going barefoot is that people walk differently. Instead of walking heel-to-toe, the instinctive way of walking when barefoot is toe-to-heel. Apparently this is instinctively done to protect the feet from putting full body weight on the heels and thereby potentially injuring your feet from things like sharp rocks or thorns or whatever.

So, when I walk barefoot anywhere, including a doctor's office, I am conscious of walking differently. And that feels odd.

Interesting and insightful observation. I walk heel to toe with shoes on, but I almost always tiptoe when barefoot. I thought it's my ankle structure - or maybe just trying to avoid a cold floor. @agracier 's comment on protecting the heel makes sense. Besides sharp rocks etc. a bruised heel bone hangs around for a long time and is uncomfortable.

The cold tiles definitely add to the sensory experience. Walking on them especially when the rest of my body is also cold (wearing just my briefs under a gown) makes me feel exposed and vulnerable.

In a role play exam, my doctor would require me to undress in a bathroom or changing room. All of my belongings, including socks would be locked up. As I escorted to the exam room, the soles of my feet feel the cold floor. My bottom, vagina, inner thighs, breasts, and back feel a constant flow of cool air. These sensations force me to accept that I’very given up all control of my body to other people. My doctor and his staff can see every inch of me. There are no barriers to slow them down or stop them from inserting suppositories, enemas, fingers, large speculums, butt plugs, catheter, vibrator, and scopes. With no access to my clothes and shoes, I can‘t leave without permission.

This sounds excellent. Thank you!

For me is very exciting if woman is only in her underwear ar naked and of course barefoot. Doctor orders her to walk on her toes, heels, walk on knees, do squats and other exercises. Than facing the wall with her back to the doctor and lift each foot to show doctor her soles and wiglle toes. Than do many other joints test exercise and bending over and spread her cheeks to show doctor her butt hole. And then testing all reflexes.

I undress in the exam room and my clothes are on a chair or hung up on the hangers they have on the wall near the table. I my stockings off an put on a pair of white socks. I put the exam gown on. It's really more of a robe, walk to the little bathroom that each exam room has and empty my bladder. walk back to the table sit down and wait for the main event. After my abdominal poking is done I sit up wile he pulls out the stirrups and reach down and remove my socks and toss them on top of my clothes on the chair. Then I assume “the big girls special exam position” in the stirrups bare foot. After the exam the doctor or nurse reaches over and hands me my sock's. I take them off again when I put my stockings on for my exit from the exam room,

I am in neutral on the topic. It really doesn't bother me at all. My doctor's exam room floor is wood laminate and not floor tile. I keep my ankle socks on anyhow.

It doesn't bother me and I haven't really thought about it. My bare feet are only on the floor after I undress for the exam, when I'm standing on the floor for the genital and hernia exam and when I'm getting a rectal exam. Then I'm usually sitting back up on the table for a couple of minutes before the doctor tells me to get dressed and then my feet are on the floor again as I walk over to where my clothes are.

I always try to go barefoot, when I get a full physical exam. It just doesn't feel ‘real’, if you're naked EXCEPT for your socks.

It definitely makes me feel more undressed and exposed during an exam. A few times when I have worn socks the doctor removed them during the exam to inspect my feet and check the pulses there so I ended up fully undressed by the end anyways.

Being barefoot is one component of the patient being in the most submissive position relative to the examiner. After having had a couple of exams during which I had my socks left on, and felt that it diminished the embarrassment of the experience, I made the decision to ensure that I am always barefoot for exams by wearing no socks when I go for a physical. I found that when I stand up from being on the exam table to drop my briefs to expose my genitalia for examination and bending over to have my anus entered it is a more memorable experience if I feel a cold floor under bare feet.

The only time I wear socks is when I have to shovel snow. Otherwise I generally wear sandals. During exams I usually leave my sandals on, however the slipper socks are usually provided if I must move from the table..
