3. Without shoes you are more free
Without shoes we are immediately catapulted into a convivial environment where we can afford to be ourselves and, why not, to snuggle up on the sofa without worries: there is no risk that the soles touch the cushions.
In addition to the above reasons, getting rid of sneakers at the entrance is also an excellent idea on a philosophical level: leave shoes and problems on the landing. You have arrived home, now you are safe from worries.

Carpets are obviously made to be walked on, but wouldn't it be better if we did it with a pair of slippers rather than a pair of 12-heel pumps? The parquet could be scratched, the carpets would be damaged prematurely ... walking around the house without shoes can really be a source of savings!
5. Foot health

With shoes like these on it will be even more difficult to find the desire to take them off, however ... remember that this is a good cause!
