Recently, when I walked into the TRAC to inquire of their different facilities, a question was immediately posed by a staff member: “Do you have another pair of athletic shoes?” I was initially rather aback as I hadn’t had time to ask my question. My response was in the negative and I asked how new this policy was and why it was implemented.
The staff member advised that it helps keep the TRAC generally cleaner. While I understand that aspect of the policy, I couldn’t help by wonder, “Where am I supposed to put the shoes I have on now?!” I found out there are free locker rentals to store away "street" shoes; however, I think the policy is overkill just to avoid having to sweep a little bit more. It's especially cumbersome for those who live off campus to remember to bring a pair of shoes with them.
I am not a fan of this new “clean shoes” policy--I think it's rather finicky. As such, I am not a fan and shall shoot baskets outside, go for a jog around University Drive, or hit baseballs on the field across from Pennyroyal/Foxglove. If my shoes get dirty, well, by God, I’ll wipe them off on the mat before entering a building--it’s not that difficult of a concept…
What do you guys think? I'd love to hear. Until then...
