Should you leave your shoes by the door? It's an age-old question. For some, the choice is cultural. For others, it's a matter of cleanliness. But while, of course, we know that our shoes encounter things outside, how much do they really bring back in with them, and how much does that really matter? Are they making us sick, or could that be to our benefit?

Scientist @MarenHunsberger helps us with an experiment to see how much bacteria and fungi are really lurking on the soles of our shoes.
