The clothes and footwear are all personal belongings of a person and are customized to the user. The clothes and footwear carry the germs from the body of the previous user, and according to science every individual has acclimatization to certain microbes, but the same may not be true for another user.
Hence scriptures denounce the sharing of clothes and footwear.
It is important to note that many of the rules of Dharmashastras have dictates that take care of the personal well-being of human beings. This rule too falls under this category.
