Why removing your shoes may stop you being zapped?

Removing your shoes can help prevent static electricity buildup because shoes with rubber soles can insulate you from the ground, allowing static electricity to build up and potentially cause a zap. When you remove your shoes, you are directly grounded, reducing the likelihood of static electricity discharge.
