TBF, I keep the socks on, but other than that: If no one else needs the space or sits next to me? Why not?

I’m a big guy, so anytime I use public transport either my back hurts because the top edge of the back rest pushes into my lower back, my knees hurt because the space between seat rows are too small or both at the same time. So let me at least stretch my legs when it doesn’t inconvenience anyone. Shoes off, socks on.

To anyone saying “Booooh! Unhygienic!”: I dare you to tap hard on the cushions a couple of times. For even more shock effect, do it when you are the first passenger of the day.

Not everyone has stinky sweaty feet all the time.

The people who take off their shoes on public transit sure do.

I’d happily place that bet.

If I smell your raggedy ass feet I will tell the Zugführer

Mein Führer …

… the Zugführer has not kicked the dude off the train.

Also, I hope you keep your well aged salami and cheese sandwich in your Tupperware. And don’t you dare sit next to me with your cloth smelling like an ashtray because you “had to” smoke one more before the train arrives.

Good thing I don’t eat in trains or smoke.

YES cold smoke is so much worse than some standard feet in a semi-empty train car, also it’s actually bad for everyone’s health

Why not? Mostly smell for me. Because feet being imprisoned in shoes most of the time gives them an aroma most people don’t like.

It’s interesting to me that so many people assume by default that others have smelly feet. I guess we have all met the stereotypical sweaty guy at the local nerd convention. But in general, if your body produces a notable bad smell when you are not exercising and despite basic hygiene, there is probably something wrong.

Totally agree with you, what’s the big deal? Those public seats are disgusting and absolutely rife with bacteria, there are studies on that. Some reasonably fresh socks (or bare feet) absolutely will not matter there. If anything, your feet will get dirty because somebody’s feces and urine are already on that seat. (they really are)

And for the smell: alright, if there are a lot of people and your feet stink, that’s a no. But the smell usually isn’t great in public transport anyways.

I wonder how they could have possibly gotten that way.

Yeah, I should probably just cut my legs by like 20 centimetres, so I fit the body model the designers used. Shave off some width on the shoulders too, so I can have more arm space as well.

There is no way your ergonomics can in any way be improved by keeping your legs straightened forward.
