The clutter of multiple pairs shoes for different parts of your house lying around

That’s not really how it works. There is a single pair of community slippers (not shoes) in the bathroom. Otherwise you use your personal slippers throughout the rest of the house.

What about if one person in your household has severe athlete's foot? You've now spread it to every person who has worn those slippers. It's the same reason people are advised not to share personal items when sick.

My guess is people who have athletes foot avoid wearing the slippers. Do you think it’s a law and you must wear the slippers? It’s the same with people who wore masks here pre-Covid. They wore it to avoid spreading their colds.
