Why do people lift barefoot?

[Jamesellis]

I've noticed the past year more and more people working out at my gym who take their shoes off especially with things like squats and deadlifts. Is there something that they've learned off of social media where some Guru told him to do this or is it something else going on. What are the advantages of doing this in the first place

well they shouldn't do that in the gym due to foot fungus and sanitary reasons. they do it cause it is comfortable and it is more natural. example is i run barefoot on grass when i can

shoes don't always contour to our feet properly
