A bit misleading that headline. Wink
I like how she states that "this area is shoe free" and then walks in with her shoes on. Laughing Good to see yet another ship floating on the Sea of Hatsune Miku. Smile

Those are slippers you use inside. You're an anime fan and you don't know this?...

Those are there for others to put on when they take off their own shoes.

Quote:
Typically in the United States you take off your shoes at the door and walk around in socks or barefoot. Japan, however, takes this one step further. Every, and I mean every, house or apartment has what is known as a genkan (玄関 – entranceway) which is a small entranceway at the door. Here is where you would take off your shoes and slip (pun intended) into a pair of slippers that are either in a cubby or lined up in front of the main hallway.
