What was the point of Roat taking his shoes off. He was simply walking on all that gasoline in his stocking feet. I don't get it.
There is no "off" position on the genius switch.
He took off his shoes so Suzy could not hear him when he walked.
Earlier in the movie, she noticed and commented on how the sounds of the shoes (belonging to what she thought at the time were two different men) were EXACTLY alike.
Go back and see the scene where he removes and throws his shoes away. He then sneaks up behind her, says, "Well, Suzy...", and she cries out and leaps with fright because she could not hear him approach.
Thanks.

The real flaw in him removing his shoes was the fact there should have been broken glass everywhere from her breaking all the light bulbs all around the apartment. At first, I thought this was an ingenious move on her part so that she could hear and pinpoint someone's where abouts in the apartment by hearing them stepping on the glass, but this wasn't used.
shareAnd I figured that breaking the lights was just her attempt to level the playing field.
shareYou can step on light bulb glass while wearing socks and probably not cut your feet.
