New Jersey radio listeners debate indoor footwear etiquette

Listeners of New Jersey 101.5 recently debated the etiquette of wearing shoes inside the home. During a radio segment, callers discussed whether guests should remove their footwear or leave it on upon entering a residence.

Many participants expressed a preference for guests to remove their shoes to prevent mud, dirt, grass, and small rocks from being tracked onto floors. While some argued that bare feet might be unhygienic, others countered that shoe soles likely collect more germs and debris from outdoor environments.
