Come into my house with shoes on and you'll be lucky to leave alive
Only barbarians wear shoes in their own homes.
Shit, even wearing shoes in an office job can be kinda sus.
edit: DOWNVOTE ME HARDER YOU FILTHY BARBARIAN HORDE, you know in your heart of hearts that I'm right
Ain't no way I'm taking my shoes off in the office unless I know for a fact that the floor is clean AF.
I work in a cubical, and I take my shoes off before putting my feet under the desk. If it was more accepted I'd take them off outside my cube, but, I live in a country that likes shoes on.
SAME HERE
I often take my shoes off as soon as I can be where nobody will notice them. Under my desk is a no shoes zone.
Same. I have this gymba board in my office and it doesn't even work with shoes on.
See, you get it
Was recently discussing with someone that it's really weird that, on the internet, Britain is repeatedly labelled a "shoes on indoors" society, because nobody we know has shoes on indoors (in their own home). Britain is a wet and muddy country.
Does anyone here do shoes on indoors? Where are you all from?
I've seen both in the UK. Personally, I'm a shoes off guy. Means less cleaning needed.
Yeah I'm US and my parents were always at least annoyed if we wore our shoes further into the house than right by the door.
Me, in Italy it's both, in 90% of the cases the situation is like:
You get in, remove the shoes and go barefoot/with slippers, if it's like a party, festivity etc etc, usually no one cares to get off the shoes
There's obviously no need for durable footwear when your whole country is a boot.
Same for the U.S. Sometimes downstairs or in common areas for guests.
UK too, shoes off too, have never lived anywhere where shoes on indoors was a common thing
The only reason I can think is that underfloor heating is relatively rare here and if you've got hard floors it'll be cold to walk on, but then slippers exist so idk really
I reckon it depends on how warm someone's home is and how good their circulation is. If I don't have shoes on indoors, then for half the year it feels like my feet have been stabbed because they get so cold (slippers are not enough), but I don't wear the same shoes indoors as outdoors. I suspect that if we set the heating higher and the house wasn't constructed in a way that makes the floor always much colder than a few inches above the floor, this wouldn't be a problem.

Get some down booties. It's like your feet are cocooned in a loving embrace of warmth and comfort.
The same in NZ. Is this that you never ever wear shoes on inside?
Is it acceptable to walk into your own house and walk around with shoes on? Sure.
Do most people do that most of the time? In my experience, people will be shoes off in their own home most of the time, but it's not some big taboo to keep them on if you're popping in to grab something.
My parents keep their shoes on, I take mine off.
the opposite for me, my floors are dirty, i can handle it
US here. Depends really. If I'm working around the house I like my shoes on but when it's time to shutdown. They off, maybe some flip flops if I head out to the pool
Shoes on at home
Shoes off on the street or in the shops
As an American, I don't believe I've ever been in someone's home that allows me to wear my shoes indoors unless I am only on non-carpeted floor, and/or not staying long.
People don't like other people dragging shit on the bottom of their shoes into their living spaces.
I don't wear shoes in my own home. If I'm visiting your home, I'll follow your rules -- but tell me before I head over so I know if I need to wear my good socks.
American here. My childhood home was completely covered in thick carpet, except the entryway and the kitchen, which was laminate tile. Yes, even the bathroom was carpeted. My bedroom literally had shag carpet.
My family always wore shoes indoors. And then wondered why the carpet was discolored, worn, and tearing in places.
I spent 20 years traveling the world after becoming an adult and learned about many other cultures who took off shoes before entering homes. Now I feel weird wearing shoes even in the entryway.
By the way, I'm retired now and living back in my childhood home, which I inherited when my father passed away. The whole place has been re-carpeted, the bathroom and dining room floors have been swapped out for laminate/wood paneling, and when I get around to remodeling the living rooms, I'll probably switch them to wood floors as well.
I do not understand shoes on in the house. Like when youre sitting on the couch? Shoes on? Why? Also doesn’t your shit get all dirty?
Yeah it baffles me, even in the summer the vile shit I have to walk on downtown, or on the LRT, then to bring that into my house? 🤢
Tell me you don't know anything about the US without telling me.
Where do slippers fall on this? I'm a shoes off person, but in the winter I've started wearing slippers inside.
Shoes stay at the door and showers are taken at night!
It's as if by living in a nordic country I didn't want to bring the dirt and snow inside my home. Curious.
Japan is a shoes-off country, but they often have slippers that they wear indoors. They just change their shoes like Mr. Rogers, but with less singing.
This is objectively the correct answer to the problem.
I wear house shoes in the house. What does that make me?
Look at this one, owning 2 pairs of shoes!
I do that too.
They’re bright white Allbirds that would get too dirty too quickly if ever I wore them outside, so it’s a bit of a mental nudge for me to take them off and put on my outdoor shoes in case I forget to do so.
…sidebar: how do I clean bright white fabric shoes? it’s bleach, right? I don’t know why I’m intimidated by the task.
I would try dish soap and a toothbrush first. If that doesn’t work, a weak bleach/water mixture might work, but make sure to rinse it well. Too much bleach can discolor it. I’m sure there are some howto videos out there.
See that's definitely shoes on. The existence of house shoes - sliders and crocs - demonstrates that some people in that country are shoes indoor people. Those types of shoes exist purely to facilitate a shoe on lifestyle.
For me, I have a tendon issue in a couple of toes that refuses to heal. I can’t walk around barefooted without aggravating it. So I have a couple pair of slides that are only house shoes.
I'm imagining you got bird houses on your feet.
I don’t do that.
Yet.
What does it mean the US is shoes on? In my entire life the only family I know of that did that was a hoarding family with layers of filth on their floor.
Exactly! I think either this is SO innacurate, or :
How can Canada be a shoes off country if Britain and America are shoes-on? It just couldn't be.
Boomer from Hamilton , Ontario, Canada, and growing up it was probably 70% shoes ON in my parts...lots of kids, in and out constantly. Obviously, snow and mud were exceptions. The 30% shoes OFF homes were the outliers...
It wasn't until my late teens that I started to notice a shift, personally and societally, to shoes OFF.
Nowadays, even if the host *insists* that I keep my shoes ON, it doesn't feel right, so I tend not to.
I feel like the US is very split on this.
Personally I have all hard floors and don't care if someone has shoes on, but personally shoes in the house feels weird to me.
Yeah this shocked me coming to the Netherlands. Thing is, when everybody else is wearing shoes, you don't wanna walk around in socks or barefoot cuz the floor gets nasty. It's a vicious cycle
