Hi MyLotters, We often see the notice that tells us to keep our footware to leave outside the room before entering,for example in a computer shop or lab,basically to prevent the dust to harm the machine or to leave a significant impact on the machine.Where do you actually see this kind of plates giving you a caution or notice that to leave your foot ware outside the room?And why do you think it's necessary?What would happen if you ignore the advice or warning?Let me know from you. Thanks, Happy Mylotting!!

If you don't go by the rule of taking off your shoes they would probably kick you out and not let you come back. Lack of respect for their rules will not make you someone they will want back. Taking your shoes off helps to keep the environment clean and alot people request that when you go to visit them.

Yeah it is good to remove footware outside the room because footware carries dust and diseases which may affect computer or it may be anything. If it is holy place we should leave footware outside to show our respect towards god. And in some houses they will not allow with footware inside if they have newly borned children to keep clean. Usually in India most of the people will leave their footware outside and clean their foot and enter inside, which shows their discipline.

If you dont leave your footware behind, its implying you are not respectful.You prefer to disobey the rule. Its a private place, since its owned by a private individual like in a computer shop.THey have rules, so you gotta follow it.They have their own right to refuse you.Or call your attention.

Sometimes its down to respect as well, I guess though if you were going into the type of lab where you needed to remove your shoes then you were probably working on something sensitive and wouldnt want anyone to ruin it so it would probably be a big problem if someone didnt do it. I wouldnt have a problem as I have to take my shoes off when I go into my mothers house anyway lol!

in some asian culture (like korea and japan) it is the norm to leave street footwear outside; they usually have a different set of footwear for inside. even in restaurants, customers leave their shoes outside and just go inside barefoot or in socks/stockings. in indonesia and thailand visitors are asked to leave remove their shoes before entering the temple. i think this practice is a good way of keeping dirt and filth from homes and other establishments and should be encouraged.

if you ignore the rule then the people may just throw you out of the place in no time. and they will make sure that you will not come back to the place as you disrespect the place or the rules of the place. we can signs of these in some school libraries in my place and of course in the holy places.

hi YoursJannat I have the same rule in my house to take of your shoes before coming into the house it helps cut down dramatically on dirt and germs that you can track into your home from walking outside . Next time your away from home observe what people do when their walking along outside and look at some of the things you can step in just from going about your daily errands . People spit on sidewalks, dogs and other animals use the outdoors to relieve themselves (so do some people for that matter) also trash garbage oil from automobiles etc.. so in short the outside is not necessarily a good place to walk around in (some people still walk barefoot outside in parking lots ect..) anyway tracking that back to your home or place of business allows several types of germs and bacteria to enter your home . I believe the Japanese and Chinese practice that leave your shoes outside rule and its a pretty good rule to have as far as I'm concerned
