Some people have sensitive feet.

My grandmother did it; and while it was weird, it made sense, she was extremely diligent about cleanliness. She used a bathmat on top of the carpet and had bath slippers. I'm only mentioning this because I find it reasonable for those purposes. I think falling is the bigger point of the two.
