It is impolite to take off your shoes and put your feet on the plane
Discomfort and disgust are the first words that come to mind when someone sees someone take off their shoes on a plane. This rude behavior is exacerbated when the person taking off their shoes puts their feet on the armrests of the passenger in front or next to them.
Respecting the comfort of all passengers and not affecting everyone’s travel experience on the plane is a skill that needs to be practiced.
Although airlines do not have a policy banning shoe removal during flights, this is an impolite and offensive action.
Not only does it affect others, but the habit of taking off shoes on a plane can cause unpredictable problems, according to Brightside.
Throughout the long hours of the flight, you cannot be sure what disadvantages or advantages may arise. Our bodies change under pressure during the flight, and you may have some kind of injury while eating, going to the bathroom, etc. Therefore, if you take off your shoes when the plane takes off, and you get injured while flying, putting on your shoes when landing will be a real hassle.
After each flight, the flight attendants clean and tidy up the cabin, but it cannot be said that the plane floor is 100% clean. Everything looks shiny and clean, but in reality, you know that bacteria stick to surfaces for quite a while. During the flight, small debris falls, unfortunately, someone gets injured, and blood remains on the floor… so it’s best to wear shoes carefully when flying.
That will be a big problem in emergencies. Not having shoes will hinder you when you need to evacuate quickly. Moreover, shoes left on the floor will fall all over the place if the plane encounters a problem. Therefore, this can cause others to stumble and affect other passengers on the plane.
So next time you fly, you should definitely not take off your shoes, avoiding trouble for yourself and those around you.
