I got in and out of my house about 50 times per day, and my feet are size 13.5s, so all my shoes are tight (they don’t make most shoes in anything larger than 13s). Plus my back isn’t what it once was. If I had to bend over and take my shoes off 50 times a day, I’d actually lose it, “it” being my L3-4 disc.
Whereas, litereally nothing bad has ever happened to me because I wear shoes in the house. It’s all some hypothetical … I don’t know what exactly. Grossness? Is grossness hurting me?
Tell you what’s ‘gross,’ as a thought exercise tho - walking around barefooted where my dogs and cats walk barefooted, they’re not exactly wearing shoes outside, or in the litterbox, nor are they putting a handkerchief down under their assholes when they sit down.
But a pair of flip-flops for in the house plus floor cleaning regularly… I don’t really worry about it either way. IDK why anyone does.
I’m sick less than most of my friends on average and I wear shoes indoors when it’s more convenient than taking them off. Germaphobes can hate it but I hardly think it’s really that bad for anyone’s health
Well that’s fair then. I do clean my floors once a week. Maybe they’re dirtier than others’ on average, but I think I’d clean them once a week no matter how much dirt there is. So I guess to me it doesn’t make a noticeable difference, but I would agree that wearing shoes indoors objectively brings more dirt into the house.
My floors are dirty enough without wearing shoes inside. Shoes would make it ten times worse. Shoes are uncomfortable. And I don’t want to turn my socks black because my floors are so dirty.

I mean I just wouldn’t wear enclosed shoes at that point. Flip-flops outside and barefoot/socks indoors. Proper shoes go on when going farther away from house.

You dragging in shit from outside is not a “hypothetical” lol

I was thinking about just keeping to floors cleaner lol

Being a cripple makes yours very specific circumstances. Most people can bend over at will with no ill effects.
You need a cobbler, then.
For what? Sounds like they’ve found a solution that works for them.
For shoes that fit properly. Wearing too tight shoes all the time is not great for the feet.
