Is it ever OK to wear shoes in the house?
Answer: Indoor shoes only. Not only do germs thrive on the soles of your shoes, but you’re also tracking potentially hazardous chemicals, including lead, as well as outdoor allergens, into your home. If you need to wear shoes for arch support, experts recommend having indoor-only shoes that never go outside… or even in the driveway.
