So many slipper questions!
I have those questions too.

Why can't the cleaning lady slip into house tennis shoes that weren't ever worn outside? I think it's unsafe to not wear shoes, and some need the support.
My mom isn't a cleaning lady, but she can't take off her shoes when she enters someone's home. She has heel spurs and gets pains up her legs if her shoes aren't supportive.

It's not at all safe for your cleaner to work in socks or slippers. It's exploitative to ask them to take risks with their health to pander to your fears.
Its not exploitative to ask your family to wear slippers in the house is it? If its good enough for your family then surely its good enough for an employee. Thankfully we live in an area where poeple do take shoes off and respect everyones property and wishes.
So you make your plumber or painter work in slippers? What area do you live in that this is standard practice?

It's a dangerous thing to do. But I suppose you don't care.

The cleaners' own slippers, or slippers that other people have worn?
Obviously we don't share slippers. I wouldn't wear someone else slippers and wouldn't expect someone else to do the same.

I think your maid should wear paper booties while she cleans your home. It just is the respectful thing to do.
However if she is not leaving any mud or dirt on your carpets and floors, I would just let it go.

Contractors and service people coming into people's houses never know what they might step on, so it's either shoe covers or shoes.
