Yes, You Really Should Remove Your Shoes

You Should Know: Is yours a Shoes On or Shoes Off house? Requiring guests to remove their shoes may seem fussy or uncomfortable, but leaving shoes on can feel a little gross. But are the no-shoes advocates right? Are our shoes really hotbeds of dirt and germs?

Going Deeper: In short, yes. The research is pretty clear — and stomach-turning. Researchers from the University of Arizona swabbed people’s shoes and found 96% of them carried fecal matter, which is how E.coli gets transmitted. Other studies have found different nasty bacteria, including MRSA and C.diff. Still more found pesticides and heavy metals, like lead, in dust particles on soles.

Takeaway: Even when shoes don’t look dirty, they’re definitely not clean. The germs they track inside can linger for days. Make the switch easier by getting comfy inside-only shoes (we like these) or slippers (and offering washable ones to guests). Entryways and floors in general can get pretty dirty, so be sure they get scrubbed or vacuumed with a HEPA filter regularly.

Bottom Line: Yes, dirt and pathogens can be found in many other places besides our shoes, but removing them is one small step to preventing illness.
