Not Tropeworthy: Inside Shoes

Inside Shoes reads like a bit of Useful Notes, but has a list of examples and is indexed under trope indices.

Inside shoes in Japan is what they do. It's not a trope.

I'd suggest transforming into a UN but it's kind of short.

I don't think the length is a problem for it to be a Useful Notes page, and I agree that it not only reads like a UN, it strikes me as People Sit On Chairs. Related is the setting (where the act of switching shoes is prime fodder for placing a scene before school), using the cubbies as mailboxes, and stealing/defacing someone's shoes while they're in their cubby. All of those might be Tropable, but this doesn't read like any of that.

So... we could either change the description or make it a UN. I'm unsure.

Yup - people sitting on chairs. It's possible for something significant to involve indoor shoes, but the the shoes themselves mean nothing to the work.

Agreed. not a trope, looks like chairs. Making it a useful notes works, though, since this is a non-western chair.

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

I don't see it as People Sit On Chairs, I see it as Japanese People Don't Sit On Chairs But Instead Sit On The Floor Under A Table With A Blanket And Heater Built In. But yeah, I created the entry before Useful Notes was much of a thing. No reason it can't go there.

Done, but do we keep the examples on the Useful Notes page?
