        I don't really like slippers; they make my feet sweat, so they end up really gross after a while. Plus they tend not to cover the whole foot either.

      Look up slipper socks. Like this amazing combination of a house shoe and wool sock.

      Also I saw you comment about house shoes making your feel sweat. I too have this issue. Wear a regular sock in combination with the slipper sock and there will be no sweaty feet as the two layers of cloth help regulate the heat and the regular socks are better at whisking away moisture as well.

    The zone where the natives live is not complementary to the zone inhabited by the settlers. The two zones are opposed, but not in the service of a higher unity. Obe­dient to the rules of pure Aristotelian logic, they both follow the principle of reciprocal exclusivity. No concilia­tion is possible, for of the two terms, one is superfluous. The settlers’ town is a strongly built town, all made of stone and steel. It is a brightly lit town; the streets are covered with asphalt, and the garbage cans swallow all the leavings, unseen, unknown and hardly thought about. The settler’s feet are never visible except perhaps in the sea; but there you’re never close enough to see them. His feet are protected by strong shoes although the streets of his town are clean and even, with no holes or stones. The settler’s town is a well-fed town, an easygoing town; its belly is always full of good things. The settlers’ town is a town of white people, of foreigners.

    I have this friend who always saw me take off my shoes when I walk into other people's houses. Even if the owners of said house don't. Then one time he and a few of his (and my) friends came over to my house for the first time. As soon as he walks in he stops his friends and says "hey take off your shoes." It was odly one of the more endearing memories I had of a friend. As odd as that may sound.

      You take off your shoes even if the house owner says don't?

        No, I take my shoes off even if some ppl that live in that particular household do not always do so. I have never been specifically told to leave my shoes on but were that to happen I would do as instructed. lol There are only a few ppls houses I have not done so and it's because they have several cats and dogs and not very clean floors.
