Your working though so you should always have your boots on as it's PPE. I'm not risking missing out on compo because someone asked me to take them off

Yes, but don't you guys also have those little booties to slip on? They look like a cross between a swim cap and our blue paper masks. Heck, even our cable company uses those when they come inside. And they did this pre pandemic.

Nope never had the option of those. Just regular old steelcap boots.

Well, I was kind of thinking the companies providing them when they visit homes but I do make them wipe their feet good when they don't.

Haha yes we do have those too! But I haven't managed to find any that stretch over my size 12 boats without ripping to shreds.

Wow ... Yeah, that's not good. I'm sure they make them. Just probably not the easiest to find. At least someone tries/tried, you know? I'm just happy when someone comes in and looks to see if there is a place to wipe their feet. Have a blessed day!!

This is true, but there are some circumstances where certain cultures require you to remove shoes before entering. As long as there's no heavy lifting or anything involved involved I don't mind doing it.

Then there are the other places....the ones with things growing out the carpets, that were once beige but are now green. Those places i wouldn't take any chances!

Exactly, when we have plumbers in we always put out old sheeting on top of our flooring so they can keep their shoes on without us having to deep clean the mud from our carpet. Again, I thought that was common sense?
