Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?

If you can walk outside in -20 f (-28 c) barefoot and still feel your feet after ~15 seconds and avoid frostbite inside if five minutes, I might accept that I’m weaker than you.

But, assuming you’re human and not possessed of prosthetic feet…. I’m going to assume your toes would fall off just the same as mine.

Yeah I go out in the yard with the dog or take out the trash in winter here in Montreal. Granted it’s a minute here or there but it’s true. Not calling anyone weak or anything but it’s just a little snow or cold.

  You’re still probably getting frost bite, and yes, the cellular damage caused by frostbite can add up over time making it quite severe even with the ‘casual’ exposure.
  
  There’s no weakness in prudence. being imprudent can lead to it though (or rather amputations, at worst.)

To be fair in that kind of weather going outside is a 15min, 12 layer ordeal, the shoes are a small concern at that point.
