    I don’t get the “take off your shoes” part. Is this a meme I have missed?

      I assume it’s because many people outside the USA are accustomed to taking off their shoes when entering a house or apartment.

            My (we’re Russian) mom always said it was because true cowboys know that if you take them off a scorpion could crawl in, so better safe than sorry
