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

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

Absolutely. Wearing shoes in the house is disgusting.

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

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

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