How it's used
This expression specifically highlights the state of having neither shoes nor socks on. It carries a slightly informal or rustic tone, often implying a sense of freedom or being at home. While it can describe a deliberate choice, it is also used to describe someone who has lost their footwear or is in a situation where wearing shoes is impractical.
Examples
The ground is very hot, don't walk barefoot.
Related words
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with simply taking off shoes, which is 脱鞋. 打赤腳 focuses on the act of walking or being in a barefoot state, rather than the action of removing the footwear.
