What happens if you walk through one of the busiest cities on earth wearing only white socks? A content creator decided to find out by doing exactly that in Dubai. He skipped shoes and filmed himself walking around the city to check how clean it really was.
Socks-On Challenge in Dubai
The video, now viral, features TikToker ‘Jimbo H’. He starts the challenge with a fresh pair of white socks. Sitting near the famous Burj Khalifa, he slips them on and begins his journey. He walks through shopping malls, along city pavements, and across shiny tiled floors — all without wearing shoes.
Throughout the walk, the camera follows his every move. The goal? To see how dirty the socks get — if at all — after walking through different parts of the city.
Surprising Result: Socks Stay Clean
After spending a good amount of time exploring the city, he removes the socks and shows them to the camera. Surprisingly, they still look almost as clean as when he first put them on. Viewers expected to see dirt, but the socks remained mostly spotless.

This result shocked many online viewers. It suggested that Dubai’s streets and public spaces are very well-maintained.
Mixed Reactions Online
The video, originally posted on TikTok and later shared on Instagram by the page ‘Lovin Dubai’, received over 30,000 likes. But viewers had mixed opinions.
One user commented, “I did it once actually. I couldn’t agree more.” Another wrote, “I walked whole Dubai Mall without shoes because the one I had was hurting me and I can see the floor was more clean than my house.”
However, some viewers were skeptical. A comment read, “Not the same socks clearly,” hinting that the video might have been staged.
Despite the doubts, the clip sparked conversations about Dubai’s public cleanliness and how it compares with other major cities.
