Shoes on at home or shoes off? If you care about your health, it's a
no-brainer

One study reported that 96% of shoes carry coliform bacteria, commonly
found in faecal matter. So why is it so uncool to ask visitors to take
them off?

It is a truth almost universally unacknowledged in the UK that wearing
shoes in the home is gross. More than gross, actually - there's
scientific evidence it could have serious health consequences and
even, if you want to come over all dramatic about it, be
life-threatening. And yet I can count on the fingers of no hands the
people I know who ask me to remove my shoes when I visit.
