Burmese would rather go barefoot than wear other shoes. Why do they only wear slippers?

The temperature in Myanmar is hot all year round, and the locals think that the best local custom is to wear slippers or go barefoot. Naturally, no one wears other shoes. In Myanmar culture, barefoot is their sincere expression of Buddha, and growing up barefoot doesn't feel anything special at all; Moreover, in the eyes of Burmese, foreigners wearing different shoes are the strangest, and even foreigners are too strange.

1. Myanmar belongs to a country with four seasons without winter. The temperature here is generally hot, so local residents naturally choose to go barefoot or wear slippers.

Different countries have different cultural traditions, and Myanmar is characterized by barefoot! Barefoot is the most normal mode of life in their lives, and they only wear slippers in hot seasons. Burmese themselves live in poverty, the local temperature is too hot, and they basically don't wear shoes like cloth shoes; The local poor generally live barefoot, and most of them wear shoes because they are women who are afraid of heat or wealthy families, so Burmese people don't wear rain boots in rainy season. After all, they don't have such shoes in their country.

2. Myanmar is a country with firm beliefs. The local people think that wearing other shoes is disrespectful to the Buddha, and naturally they will not wear shoes casually.

As we all know, Myanmar is a place with strong Buddhist beliefs. Local residents feel that barefoot can show their respect for the Buddha, and barefoot can feel the blessing of the Buddha, so local residents basically don't wear shoes. In Myanmar, shoes are generally women who have a better life, or people who often walk on the concrete floor. They only wear slippers to protect their feet. No matter how bad the weather is, local residents will never wear other shoes, and they will think it is an act of disrespect for Buddha and Myanmar culture.

Because of the high temperature in Myanmar and the strong local religious beliefs, I would rather wear shoes than other shoes.
