Why Shoes Are Our Flooring's Worst Enemy

Shoes are now being called our flooring’s worst enemy! Why is this? Well, we’re about to tell you- because it’s true: shoes cause so much wear and tear and damage on our flooring, it’s questionable whether we should be wearing shoes indoors, or not. Read further to find out how your shoes are damaging your flooring!

Dings

Let’s start with scratches, or dings. Our shoes can all-too-easily scratch our flooring! And it’s hard to avoid, when we have to walk around our home. It’s important to protect your flooring with specialized coatings, or even area rugs! You can also place a basket near the entrances to your home, for family members and house guests to leave their shoes in. This way, you don’t even need to worry about anything happening to your flooring.

Dents

Our shoes can also cause dents in our flooring! Perhaps you’ve already dented your floor with a pair of high heels, or you’ve dropped something. These dents can’t be reversed. You’ll have to call in a professional to replace the floorboard! Remember- protect your flooring by laying out area rugs, or keeping shoes off of the floor to begin with!

Damage

Over time, our shoes cause wear and tear, and damage to our flooring. Carpet becomes stained and mushed down, hardwood flooring endures dings and dents, etcetera! It’s inevitable that we’ll have to replace some of our flooring, or call the professionals at some point in time!
