Exactly. In PNW, everyone takes off shoes. You don’t have to ask. It’s known.

Well there's a blanket statement that's not true

People taking off wet and dirty shoes isn’t what we are talking about.

Yes, that’s different. Where I live, wet shoes are so normal that everyone I

Seinfeld taught us it is true in Korea.

Oh yeah

You're officially off my Seinfeld trivia team.

Research shows that bare feet are FAR cleaner and spread less disease than shoes

People who expect this are probably weirdos.

Why are shoes dirtier than socks worn for the fifth day in a row?

With whom do you hang out?

stoils

Right now I guess it's just me and you. I'm only two days on these socks though.

Why are stinky nasty socks better than shoes?

The pee in the sink crowd keeps their shoes on.

If it's a concern, you can vacuum after people leave. I think it's weird

garyfan

agreed. Socks are stinky, but shoes bring in everything

HoustonCougar

Absolutely. Wearing shoes in the house is disgusting.

Virginia Ute

1/20/20 11:08am

People who wear shoes inside must just have dirty homes and be ok with it. Gross.

And if you walk into someone’s home and they aren’t wearing shoes, use your

I agree, but it has its role. We have mostly hard wood, but I like carpet in the bedrooms.

this. Your "clean" shoes are COVERED with fecal matter.

Ha, pets are disgusting too, but that's another thread!

Most of us don't live in San Francisco.

But in Japan they usually have some nice clean slippers to put on in the house after taking their shoes off.

lightmann

1/20/20 11:26am

I have indoor shoes that I wear in the house. For me it's because I'm short

runnincoug

Exactly

RUNBYU1

Sounds like a phobia to me. Your body, inside and out is covered with "germs"

frontrowcougar

1/20/20 1:26pm

There's also fecal matter on money. Feel free to send that dirty stuff my way.

Eddie

1/20/20 1:29pm

There's bacteria, and then there's bacteria. The stuff you collect on your shoes

runnincoug

So 39.7% of shoe samples had C. difficile and 33.3% of household floor dust also

frontrowcougar

What researchers believe is that bacterial dust is coming in from your shoes.

Yeah I mean if your house is already trashed then yeah don’t worry about it.

I don’t know what you mean, I don’t walk on my sofa.

Joe Banks

I like being able to walk without shoes in my house without my feet turning black.

Virginia Ute

1/20/20 4:30pm

I take my shoes off when I get home, because I like to go without shoes.
