Using a treadmill without any sneakers on...

[slackerinabox]

OK, sounds like an insane question, I know.. Do I really have to put my stinky sneakers on when doing some walking (not running) on my treadmill?

 

[OutHouse]

sounds crazy but the idea of keeping your toes attached to your foot would seem to answer that question for you.

 

[blackdogdeek]

the treadmill would be a more forgiving surface than concrete definitely. however, you'll still do much more damage to your feet and legs than you would if you wore sneakers.

 

[Amused]

Do you like the skin on the bottom of your feet? Treadmills have "non-slip" belts.

I think at least for the sake of comfort I would leave shoes on. It would seem better for your feet too.

 

[vi edit]

Unless your feet are super calloused over, then you are going to do a number on them. The belts, like Amused said, are quite unforgiving.

If you lose a few digits will you quit making movies?

Answer quickly, my advice depends upon it.

OK guys, I'll keep my sneakers on.. I was just curious.

probably bad for your feet if you don't.

particularly your knees. I used to run track.

good footwear is important when running.

you also should have proper arch support.

I can't imagine what would happen if your feet started to sweat. That would be nasty and dangerous.
