Do you take your shoes off in your house?

This one actually belongs in the conformity thread: Taking shoes off at the front door. 😂

It keeps your house so much cleaner. Your shoes bring in a ton of dust.

Do you clean your dog's paws?

I do - but only once a day. I take her out 3x a day though. I have a shower + sink head with a gooseneck so it makes it easy to swish her feet. But you loose the cheeto feet smell!

On the other hand, letting your shoes into your house allows you to develop a stronger immune system.

Small amounts of bacteria help calibrating and building up body resistance against the same bacteria in large amounts.

Overly sterile environments lead to weaker immune systems.

Yep, agree with this. I suppose if its just the home it is okay - considering we probably have enough pathogens/bacteria we encounter on the daily in the outside world. I could see the practice OP enquires about fuelling some poor souls OCD, though >.<

Wearing shoes is leagues above in the conformity tier list

Contemplate, why do you use shoes at all? 

Who was the mf who infected you with that stupid idea?

Normal shoes deform your feet too, very unhealthy, then you have the big heels on normal men's shoes even, it throws your entire body's posture out of whack, affects almost every joint, every vertebrae, shortens your calves. I wore boots for years and my boot area on my leg is bald it doesnt grow back while I have decent hair on the rest of my leg, and I think they wore away a part of the bone in my big toe, looking at an xray.

Yeah. I have a shoe cabinet inside the house close to the door. Both healthy and practical.

Exactly my thoughts 😁

The main thing I think about it stepping in front of a Wal-Mart toilet to piss, then carrying all that back into my house. When shit like that happens, I try to find a nice patch of grass to scoot my feet across. lol. But I'm not about to start making it a rule to take my shoes off at the door.

I almost never get sick. I've never had the flu. I've only had colds a few of times in my life. I'm 40. I chalk that up to not being afraid to get dirty. I sit down in the grass and roll around with my dog daily. Then lay down on my mattress if I feel like it. lol Wash everything every two weeks... you're fine.

Yes shoes suck ass you are correct. But after a certain point there’s no more hope for change. My grandmother wears shoes inside cause at this point her structure won’t fix itself going barefoot. It’s just pain relief. I am glad she can relieve the pain with shoes for her last years of life but younglings should stay away so that that doesn’t happen to them in the first place.

I reversed my fucked up feet in my early twenties. It is doable but took at least 3 years to start being functional again. I had duck feet, wrong angle in the knees, atrophied bent toes, the whole shitshow. Fuck shoes, they suck ass.

What's funny is every time I started worrying about getting sick from all the elements, that's when I actually did start noticing things and feeling off. It's funny how when I don't worry about it, it doesn't bother me.

@Rigel Shoes might not be the source of the problem - they could be necessitated by the man man substrates (unnatural) we typically walk on. Could be either or.

It's not about germs at all. The way you really see the difference is having hard floors, carpet hides everything but it's obviously there too. It produces an unbelievable amount of dust, it gets on everything too not just the floor, it's more dusty.

I don’t agree. Concrete is smooth af to a functional foot.

Good point. I don't have any carpet. I might change my tune if I did. 

Shoes themselves are not responsible for a lot of dust. Obviously, they are hitting surfaces and nothing much is sticking to them. 

They make these things called "rugs" that you place in front of your doors. lol

Ya I think normal heels on men's shoes cause your legs to turn outwards. Very dysfunctional

Are we meant, or did we evolve, walking on shit that is smooth as fuck?

[yetineti]

I don’t think it being smooth has anything to do with it. What about the fact that it’s rock hard?

Drop a bouncy ball on concrete and then grass. It will bounce higher on the concrete. All of the extra force reflected on concrete gets sent back, every step, into your knees, hips, back, etc.
