[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm south Asian, my husband is eastern European, both of us are from "shoes off" cultures. Wearing dirty shoes, with mud and animal poop on them, makes your floors dirtier. It's just obvious. I will say all of our immigrant parents wear house shoes/slides that never leave the house. Our relatives in India/Poland do this, too. Their houses are all immaculately clean. When my husband went to school, in eastern Europe, the kids would all take off their outside shoes and put on slippers. so maybe that is something that would ease OPs aversion to "sweaty feet." This might be a cultural norm in "no shoe" cultures that for some reason didn't make it to America.[/quote] It is. The slipper thing was specifically explained as part of an expat orientation once.[/quote]
