I think this can be explained by the mentality of completely naked means I’m not leaving the house, but naked with shoes means I intend to go somewhere.
I think it’s because of the steps removed you are from becoming non-naked. With no shoes, you’re simply an underwear away from being non-naked. But with shoes on, you must bend over, remove your shoes, remove your socks, and only then are you free to install underwear on your naked dingaling. Now imagine if your landlord unexpectedly knocks at the door, and you were naked with no shoes versus with shoes. In the first case, you’d be non-naked in a matter of seconds. Whereas, in the second case, you’d be non-naked in about 15 seconds. Not to mention, you’d be in a very compromising position during those 15 seconds, as you’d be bent over in a strange position fiddling with your shoes over your own naked body. Never discount your brain’s ability to plan ahead. And don’t think this all isn’t taken into account when considering how naked you feel with or without shoes. This, I believe, is one of the primary reasons. Okay, thank you for coming to my TED talk, have a blessed day, and fare thee well!
It works with socks too
So if you’re completely naked in public does putting on shoes make you feel less naked? We need a science.
Yeah - try it
I’ve done the nudist camp thing. This is 1000% true. This also works if you’re “Donald Ducking it” and just wearing a shirt.
For the opposite effect, walk into a room with other naked people and an air temperature above 70°C. Suddenly it’ll be totally fine.
Nobody’s fine at 70°C…
Right, it oughta be at least 90°C to be nice and comfy

As a dude, I feel way more uncomfortable in just a t-shirt and nothing else than I feel fully naked.

Just put on a trenchcoat?
First, it didn’t say put on socks and shoes, it said put on shoes. Second, why would you take off your socks before you try to be less naked? Also, I get that you’ll probably need to take off your shoes to put on pants but you can certainly get your underwear on over your shoes, right?
Yeah that was implied but of course pants are the key
Thanks, I hate it.
I see this in some character costume designs that show some (not all) skin. Once in a while, they’re barefoot, and the effect is just a free spirit vibe. But, if they have very bare legs, a big thick pair of sneakers or boots draws attention to the legs, making them look more exposed.
Women wearing thigh highs with a skirt is sexier than just skirt without socks.
I don’t know what this has to do with the post, but I totally agree.
that partial nudity is often sexier than total nudity
Empirical evidence that wearing shoes makes you more naked: The only thing hotter than a naked woman is a naked woman with heels.
I can’t believe that humanity hasn’t got an explanation for this yet
I feel like heels makes women firm up their legs. It makes them look more tone, and it makes them have better posture. Also it makes them look taller and smaller feet.
Nothing beats her wearing sweats pulled up then the top rolled down and one of my shirts.
Optimally hight heels (including the case all genders).
Even more true if you’re one of many who remove shoes in the house. Shoes are an outside thing only and if they’re the only thing you have on, something has gone tricky terribly awry.
I don’t think I would like that feeling.
Well if you’re gonna go outside naked, it’s the sensible thing to do.
Hat.
If you haven’t done this before, there’s no time like the present. Also, go outside in your front yard. That pretty much maximizes the effect.
Naked to the elements
