Rubbing your feet on a carpet causes friction, which transfers electrons from the carpet to your feet. This electron transfer leaves your feet with a surplus of electrons, giving them a negative charge.
When you scuff electrons from a carpet onto your feet, you become negatively charged. This can result in static electricity buildup and potential shock when touching metal objects.
You get zapped when you rub your feet on the carpet, because of electrostatic discharge. When you are rubbing your feet on the floor, the atoms on the floor have electrons that get stripped off of them and get put onto your body. When you have extra electrons sitting on your body that want to get off and you go to touch some sort of conductive surface, the extra electrons transfer, causing you to get zapped.
What will be the charge if you scrape electrons from your feet while scuffing across the rug?
Rubbing your feet on carpet causes the transfer of electrons from the carpet to your body, creating a buildup of negative charge on your body. When you touch a conductor (e.g. metal object), the excess electrons flow rapidly back to the ground, causing a spark of static electricity.
People wear shoes on their feet to protect their feet.
On your feet you can wear Johnson & Murphy shoes.

You don't have to wear shoes. They protect your feet, but you don't have to wear them.
