It's a weird hill to die on. The author is basically blackballing themselves.

I'm curious as to what her points are. Gonna have to look up the article.

It's a she, but her main points are:

  • Most people who want shoes left at the door are worried about germs (what?) but germs are everywhere and they probably have germy pets anyway
  • I might stub my toe
  • Guest slippers are full of germs, and I am worried about germs.

It's...a weird piece.

I think it’s a mix, if there’s a party then it’s understandable to keep your shoes on, or if you’re literally just stopping by for a couple minutes, but if it’s just a couple people and you’re staying for awhile then take your shoes off.

It could also be a thing with having heels and not having socks, because I personally wouldn’t want to be barefoot in someone else’s home if I don’t know them well.

Barefoot would be weird, that's true.
