And yet we demand people keep them on during flights, because feet are even more disgusting.



Some people's feet are disgusting. They should keep their shoes on during flights and, with a little self-awareness, should know by now whether they have odor issues (which, btw, can be dealt with). Besides, most people wear socks during flights which means you don't typically encounter anyone's feet.

And yet, flip flops and sandals pass the test? Small issue with coherence.


And we demand that they take their shoes off at the security checkpoint. Really disgusting.


Do we? Besides takeoff and landing, it is pretty common to take off shoes during flights.


I wonder if it's country-dependent too.
