Is there any harm in a child keeping their school shoes on after school?!
Question: My little brother does this. He likes to look good at school and around the neighborhood (his words). Now that it is getting dark later he has his sneakers and socks on like 13 hours a day. Is there any harm? Is it normal for kids to do this? I like taking mine off.

Some kids and some adults just don't like to go barefoot for a variety of reasons. Some people just have tender feet, and it feels better to wear shoes than not. Your brother is at no risk because he wears his shoes and socks for extended periods of time. I presume he has a bath every night, and isn't wearing them to bed- so his little piggies have plenty of time to get air. Just because you don't like to wear your shoes is not a reason to bug him because he does. Leave the little brother in peace about the shoe/sock thing, before you drive your mom nuts.
no theres no harm some people keep their school shoes on some dont!
Wearing shoes should not hurt him. Unless they are to small, otherwise just let him be. Every child has their own quirks, just like adults.
Wow, his feet must smell ripe at the end of the day.
well not really i think but he will sweat a lot because socks and shoes 13 hours a day is hot on the feet maybe you should tell him to take them off after school
thats just me
hope that helped

as long as his feet and socks are dry there should be no harm. If he sweats a lot or was in the rain and his feet get too moist he can get athletes foot or just smelly feet and ew who wants smelly feet. Get some of that foot powder and have him put it in them at night.
I would say about 50% of kids keep their shoes on after school or at least put them back on soon after to go outside and play. I see lots of kids around here outside playing in their school clothes. I know I always did simply because I wanted to go outside and play right after school. Other times I would just forget to take them off and wear them until bedtime. I know of some kids that go to aftercare and do not get home until after 7 pm so those kids have their shoes on that long as well.
There is no harm in it at all to him. Some people just settle into routines about what feels good and what doesn't and that happens with shoes as much as anything else. Vive la difference!
