CEO of the skincare company MUTHA, Hope Smith, commented on the TikTok trend and said: “If you’re wondering why I always lock a shoe in the safe now, you can ask Lauren, my assistant, who once had to fly all the way back to Italy to unlock the safe because of what I had left inside.
“Put your shoe in the safe right behind your jewellery so that when it’s time to pack and leave your hotel you never leave your valuables behind because you’ll always be looking for that second shoe.”
Catalonia Hotels explained that passports “are often left at the hotel safe where guests prefer its safety” and recommended “arriving a couple of hours earlier to the airports” which “will give you enough time to go fetch them back if you had left them”.
