Weighed barefoot or socks on? (Now or when younger)

If I'm just being weighed, not a full physical exam, then I keep socks on, if I'm wearing any. But, with a full exam, then it depends how much they've told me to take off, or maybe they weigh me before asking me to disrobe.

There have been times when I've been told to take off everything down to my underwear and socks, or even a few times they've said to take off everything, including underwear, but leave my socks on, and that's how I've been for the whole exam.

My current doctor's office, the only exception if you wearing working or hiking boots the nurse may ask to remove your shoes but socks on. The scale is a common area next to the bathroom. Usually, I get weighed with my shoes on then go into the bathroom and provide a urine sample before going to the exam room.

I went to pediatrician's office until I was around 15 years old. I was never weighed until I was undressed only in my underwear no socks. A few times totally naked.

I have my socks on but shoes off.That way I weigh less. The scale is usually in the hallway not in exam room.

I'm usually weighed in alll my clothing including shoes, before I'm asked to get undressed.

Always been in socks and underwear

When I was weighed at the doc, i was naked, so no socks or shoes. When I weigh myself at home, i take off shoes but it does not really matter if I have socks of not.

As a kid, shoes and socks were off and even in High school and later. The last couple of times it was shoes off and one everything was on, The nurse said they allow 5 lbs for the clothes.

If its just seeing the nurse for a check up, shoes off only. But for full medicals and the times I have been in hospital , just underwear or a gown

I am always naked when I'm weighted meaning barefoot as well

When my wife and I have our conjoint physicals, we are weighed with shoes off, clothes and socks (or nylons for my wife) still on.

Although I've never been asked to take off my socks during an exam, I am very much anti sock. I cannot deal with having socks on after my shoes are off.

During the hospital exams always barefooted, since I needed to be barefooted for other parts of the exam. Like a reflection test or checking the muscles in my legs.

For quick checks at my GP, just with socks on, no need to be barefooted for another reason

My last check up, I was fully dressed, including shoes. I think they must estimate the weight of clothing.

But, for physicals as a kid and teenager, I was never in more than underpants and frequently nude. Always fully nude for wrestling physicals. I remember an otherwise fairly basic physical exam I had with my brothers when they specifically told us to take off socks and then weighed us. Now, they may have just wanted socks off for the physical, but the nurses told us to do it right before she weighed us.

Another physical I had for a summer wrestling camp that was being held at a college campus near where I lived, I was specifically told to take socks off. The physicals were being done at the student health center for that college and we were to go in at any point on one of two available days. I was in Jr. High School at the time and my dad took me as soon as I got out of school. The physical was station-to-station, with those stations each being a different room along a long corridor. At the start of it, I was told to take off everything including my underpants and put a towel around my waist and that I could leave socks on while walking around. When I got to the area where we were being weighed, it was like an alcove off the of corridor with a couple of attendants and 2 or 3 scales set up. there was a sign just outside the alcove that said "boys must removed all clothing" and one of the attendants told us as we went in to "take off the towel and your socks."

It's my understanding that nude weigh-ins are no longer done and even disallowed but at the time (this was in 1983), your official weight had to be taken nude.

My last physical and my last gyno exam I was weighed fully clothed with my shoes off. When I still saw my pediatrician I was weighed in barefeet.

Neither. full clothes

As an adult, I've always been weighed with not only my socks, but my shoes on. As a kid, I would usually get weighed in the exam room after undressing. Sometimes I would be explicitly asked to take my socks off, in which case I was barefoot, but other times I wasn't, in which case I would keep my socks on -- and they weighed me that way.

I refuse to let them weigh me unless it's essential ie. for anesthesia (as they calculate on weight) etc. The few times I do allow it, I take off my shoes but not my socks.

It used to be with shoes on, though I did take stuff out of my pockets and coat off (that's good for a couple pounds together). Last time they asked for shoes off. I don't think it's critical unless it's for a medication dose (such as anaesthesia).

I do find that as an adult, they seem more interested in getting an accurate weight than when I was younger. At least, the few times I was weighed with clothes on, when I was young, they might have me take shoes off, or maybe not. Usually, it wasn't an issue because most times I was weighed after undressing for the full physical.

But, as an adult, a number of times when I've been weighed with clothes on, they've asked not only to take off shoes, but also to empty my pockets or just remove my pants before stepping on the scale, so they would have the most accurate weight.

I always keep my socks on for the weigh in. I don't want to put my barefeet where other people may have put theirs.

When I was younger I would usually get weighed in the exam room after getting undressed, but as an adult, I get weighed fully clothed, with shoes on. I always come out a few pounds higher than I actually am! Sort of frustrating, but not a huge deal. When I was undressed, it was socks-on about half the time, and socks-off about half the time. It depended on whether or not I was explicitly told to take my socks off by the nurse, which was sometimes, but not always.

Always wear my socks I’m not big on being barefoot on a random floor.

For me it is not the alternative "Weighed barefoot or socks on?" but "Weighed before or after a complete bowel cleansing?" - The difference will be far more important!

My doctor's doesn't have scales in the exam room so I'm always weighed in clothes. I'll slip off my shoes and empty my pockets but it's pretty much fully dressed with socks. Aside from pre-surgery when I only had a gown on in the first place, I can't think of a time where I was weighed without socks in my life.

My experience is the reverse of that of "medical test"

I was always weigthed in only a brief or naked and most of the time without socks when young but more often weighted in clothes as an adult even if always without shoes.

For your physical before going to a wrestling summer camp held in a college campus near where you lived, you said that it was done at the student health center of the campus and that you were instructed at the start to remove all your clothes including underwear except socks and to put a towel around your waist to go from medical station to station all along a corridor.

Since your father had send you to the campus, did he stay with you as an observator tutor all along the physical examination with possibly other fathers if you were not the only boy to be examined or did he let you alone?

Where did you undress? in a locker room under supervision of adults ? was it in group ? where did you find a towel ? in the locker room or in the corridor?

After when you were naked under a towel, how many persons were in the corridor? or passing through ?

Did you were examined in presence of a wrestling coach in one of the station or only doctors and nurses? or with a coach only in the corridor or only standing near the weigh -in alcove??

For the weigh-in, which was performed in an area which was like an alcove off of the corridor with three scales and a couple of attendants, did you were several junior high students weighted all together in the nude under instructions of an attendant and sign just outside the alcove if there was more than one scale so that two or three students could be weighted at the same time and may be some were waiting their turn still completely undressed ?

In each other station, were you examined alone ?

How long did it last in your memory?

Were you embarrassed or not because you found it common and usual?

In your opinion of an adult of nowadays, did you think that it was logical and necessary to weigh you without any clothes or towels and that it must be the same today at least for teenager students for whom an accurate weight is important because it may change a lot from one person to an other of the same age and during a year?

When younger, I was always weighed barefoot because I was only in my underpants. This was standard in the doctor's office or military clinic and definitely the standard for the sports physicals at school and for wrestling weigh-ins. It may seem strange today but we weren't concerned about wearing socks even when there were maybe 200 or more of us in the gym getting sports physicals every year. The gym floor was clean or as clean as it was going to be, I guess. We could have gotten athlete's foot or something from one another but I don't remember anyone ever thinking that we got that from being barefoot during sports physicals. Locker room showers were the big worry then. Same thing for wrestling weigh-ins. We were allowed to wear nothing more than a jockstrap and by high school most of us were weighing-in nude to avoid even the smallest risk of not making weight. Socks would have been weird and a definite problem with our coaches who wanted us to be as close to the top of our weight classes without going over.

As an adult, I have usually been weighed in my regular clothes. Sometimes without shoes. But not undressed except for a few times being weighed in the exam room in my underpants only. It has been years since I had to undress to be weighed.

Always weighed barefoot.

In real examinations I've always been weighed in my clothes, just shoes off. Play exams are a different matter, generally just in my underwear and occasionally weighed naked.

In a normal check up, these days by a nurse, it’s just shoes off for a weigh in . When I was a school the weigh in was stripped to pants . For most of my med fet exams I prefer the weigh in to be pants or naked. There’s nothing like seeing a well formed naked Male on a set of scales

Most of the time I am weighed with all my clothes on. Would like to have the doctor ask me to take all my clothes off for a weight
