    In our household, the shoes come off as soon as we enter the house and are lined up Japanese-style. Personally, I find it unsanitary to wear street shoes inside the house; think of all the spitting, bathroom soiling, bird droppings, etc., that one walks through in the course of a day. We never put the sole of a shoe on a chair, bed, or any piece of furniture. When I go outside to water the garden, empty the trash, and so on, I put on either slippers or sandals. I find it very strange and unpleasant to wear shoes inside a house; if I am visiting a close friend or family member, I ask if I can slip my shoes off. Also, I have chronic foot pain and only wear shoes when absolutely necessary, but I’ve come to find barefootedness as normal. Doctors say not to do this, but they don’t have to live with my feet and I have to wonder if they’ve ever considered how unclean a shoe can be.
