Bobby Bones is now a no shoe household! His wife has been dealing with health issues the past few years and asked him to start doing a no shoe household. He didn’t want to do it at first because he thought it was annoying and didn’t want shoes lying everywhere. But she was able to get him to try it for 30 days and now he understands the logic behind it.
Everywhere you walk with your shoes outside the house, all that is on the bottom of your shoe and then when you wear them inside your house, all those outside germs are now all over your house. Bones wife wanted to implement it in their house because if she’s around a whole bunch of germs, she’ll get sick, so of course he wants to do something that benefits her. He’s gotten used to it and now anywhere he walks inside it feels weird to have shoes on. A few days ago, Bones had Rich Eisen over and they had to walk through his house to get to the studio. He didn’t want to ask him to take his shoes off, so his wife agreed to let him keep them on and just clean the floor after.
Amy tried to be a no shoe household before she moved, but it didn’t work out. Once some renovations are done in her new house, she plans on adopting the rule again. She ordered shoe covers to put over your shoes so you can keep them on in the house. Bones has them as well and asks people to put them over their shoes when they walk into his house. He does get embarrassed to ask people to take their shoes off when they come over. He understands the logic and was just being lazy before. Some people grew up in cultures where it was normal to take your shoes off in the house. One of Amy’s daughter's friends shared that her family gets people to take their shoes off by just staring at their feet like they are crazy until they get the hint to take their shoes off.
