Rob & I decided that in our new place, no shoes are allowed. That means, everyone (EVERYONE) can leave their shoes at the door. There are a few reasons for this. First, I know this is super weird I am somewhat concerned about the germs that your shoes pick up. I mean you walk all over the place, parking lots, public bathrooms, restaurants with dirty mops and spilled food, etc. and then you bring the germs back into your house when you wear your shoes in. This is a strange concern, I realize. But I always look at the floors of public places and wonder how many germs and disgust I am gathering. I even went so far as to lysol my shoes after returning from our honeymoon in NYC. I mean the NYC streets, EW! Plus, L will be crawling in no time, so we figure this is one way to keep it cleaner. Now, Rob told me I could even buy a cute sign for the entry way alerting people of our rule. So when I googled it, the first hit was an entire blog about why everyone should take their shoes off at the door. I mean, seriously, an entire blog. Someone has really done their research. Check it out
Thanks for the link to my blog.
ReplyDeleteI think it is great that you want to go for a shoes-off policy. I come across a lot of people who would like to do that, but can't seem to summon up the courage to ask their visitors. Good for you.
