Thak you for weaponising downvotes.

Maybe in the anglosphere it makes sense to ask. Where I live you immediately take off your shoes and ask where you can put them and if you can get aome slippers.

I never suggest you would catch leprosy and die. I live in a country where it often rains and (used to) snow in the winter. And even if it did not carpets are hard to clean. You cannot just nicely wipe them like hardwood or laminate or tile floors. You need specialised equipment to do it. We have a rug at home and even with everyone wearing slippers inside it gets dirty and impossible to clean.

I just cannot imagine myself being comfortable with a acarpwted floor.

What is under your carpet then?

I assumed sandals to mean hard soled footwear. I percieve slippers as being soft. Might be wrpng though.

I'd prefer none of those then and force the use of slippers.

But I will never understand how people are okay with living in places with carpeted floors. I would rather have bare concrete than carpet on the floor.

That is still much better than not taking of your shoes. Sure slippers is the best option but socks and barefoot is absolutely fine.

Also carpeted floors are disgusting.

All shoes stay outside. Inside you are either barefoot, in socks or cultured and wear slippers

Why even let them in at all if they don't take off their shoes?

I think it starts in the 14th century and goes up to the 19th

You just might be. I use about 10GB per month but mostly when I commute. At home and other places there is usually wifi to use.
