First of all, shoes are covered in the detritus of daily trudging around the streets. Gum, cigarette butts, parts of other things that have been in people’s mouths, rotting food, moldering leaves, mildew, just good old-fashioned dirt covers the soles of our shoes all the time. Why would we want to bring all that junk into our lives?
Scientifically, however, it’s really not a good idea to bring our shoes any further inside our homes than absolutely necessary, and that’s because of a little bacteria called clostridium difficile, or “c diffâ€. C diff is notoriously antibiotic-resistant (hospitals have massive procedures involving cleaning and sanitizing rooms containing patients with C diff) and research by the University of Houston found that up to 40% of shoes entering the home are contaminated with C diff bacteria.
