      What about in Summer when someone wants to discuss their nail fungus or in all seasons about their athlete’s foot? That’s so weird

      This is pretty common in Ontario Canada at least. A lot of medical offices have people take their shoes off at the door in the winter to stop from getting the floors slushy and salty with the snow. I’ve had to do this at eye doctors, regular doctors, and dentists before. Never thought twice about it and they always offer their own type of footwear.

    3. What if you come out of the office and your shoes are gone and I’ll just left us an old pair of ripped up sneakers

    4. Very common in a lot of clinics. The dental office I work for is a shoes off clinic. It gets snowy and wet here, shoes off keeps the clinic clean and allows me to do my job at the front instead of playing cleaning lady all day, chasing after people with a mop and bucket. We provide disposable slides for people to use, but most people opt to just wear their socks.

      What about people who wear orthotics? My feet feel like I’m walking with a sharp rock all the time. I know, I just wouldn’t go there. hahaha

    6. I’m in Saskatchewan Canada, every doctors office here is no shoes because of our weather. They don’t want wet, muddy, slushy, salty shoes/boots walking through their office. It sucks because there is always like one person that doesn’t listen and then your socks are damp and muddy because they were an asshole

      It’s basically like this everywhere in Japan. I adopted this philosophy for my house. It’s cleaner for it

    8. I understand the concept, but my dermatologist is full of elderly people who I could see slipping and breaking a hip on that floor. Or my mother in law who puts on her orthotic shoes first thing in morning and doesn’t take them off until bed because she can barely walk without them.

    9. Fuck that. If I’m in public I’m wearing shoes. I don’t need whatever y’all mfers got. And vice versa, no one wants to be dealing with my feet either.

      That guy is drumming up repeat business, letting everyone give each other foot infections

    10. Man that’s crazy!

      I just got back from the podiatrist’s office and they don’t allow clothing inside.

      Forcing people to take shoes off risks them transferring foot fungus not the floor. It also means the whole floor goes back inside their shoes and contaminates the inside of their shoes and eventually their home.

      Solution: provide disposable booties. Because if you don’t warn me in advance and you try to force my shoes off I will simply leave unless you have booties. I am not putting your floor pubes onto my socks and back into my shoes. Thank you.
