Come into my house with shoes on and you'll be lucky to leave alive
I have no idea why anyone would want to wear shoes in the house.
It's so constricting and unnecessary. Do y'all not clean your floors? Do you feel like your floors are gross and shouldn't be touching your bare feet?
When you lay on the couch do you need to take your shoes off and then put them back on when you get up to go make a snack in the kitchen?
Makes zero sense to me
Sandals when I'm inside. On rare occasions I'll wear socks and house shoes, but that's usually when I'm cleaning floors or something wet.
Do shoes on people immediately put on shoes as soon as they wake up or something? I don't even put on socks!
I put them on when I'm leaving, generally
Rookie mistake. You sleep with your shoes on.
Where I live it's very rare and unusual to be asked to remove your shoes when going into someone's house. Normally you just brush your shoes on the front door mat and enter.
Sometimes my feet can be really smelly. I hate it when I go to someone's house where they expect me to pull my shoes off. Yes, odor eater powder helps, but I never know if removing my shoes is going to knock them out. Especially in the summer. It is better to just never go to other people's houses.
Walk around barefoot outside - nothing left to discuss.
I feel like Australia is more of a shoes whatever place ..
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
I once had dedicated office slippers under my desk
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.
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?
It might be in including having slippers or "indoor shoes". Nigeria is there as a shoes on, but from my understanding, its only slippers/flip flops specificly for indoors, that are normal.
Same for Japan. No chance they're wearing full hiking boots or sneakers inside the house in Japan - the shoe cabinet is built in right next to the front door of houses, tiny apartments, temples, many restaurants, etc. I assume the schools still do too.
I've seen both in the UK. Personally, I'm a shoes off guy. Means less cleaning needed.
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
Living in Italy, both Rome and North, the floors are cold in the winter. We wear slippers at home and tell guests to keep their shoes on until spring.
There's obviously no need for durable footwear when your whole country is a boot.
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.
Does anyone here do shoes on indoors?
In/out doors doesn't really make a difference. If I need shoes outside, I'm probably wearing them inside. And vice versa.
It would be different if I had carpet. Carpet is impossible to thoroughly clean in situ. I would never want outside shoes on non-rental carpet. But I've got 100+ year old hardwood floors that have seen way worse than I'm tracking in.
Shoes on in the house is gross. So is bare feet. Wear socks or slippers.
I have shoes I wear specifically in the house I broke my ankle a couple years ago and ever since, walking without shoes has been uncomfortable and even painful. So I have inside shoes and outside shoes.
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.
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'm not an expert but my partner is from SE Asia.
She's quite judgemental and inflexible about this. I'm not condoning her views but they might provide some cultural insights.
Shoes on inside is perceived as rude. It's particularly awkward when you go to someone elses house and they ask you to leave your shoes on. Taking your shoes off is tied up with hygiene and reverence and respect and being asked to disregard that is being asked to... diminish yourself in some way.
People in our orbit tend to wear footwear you can just slip on and off. That doesn't mean sandals or flip flops. You just tie off your laces at the "right" length and you can slip them off without untying, and slip them on by, at worst, putting your finger in behind your heel to pull them into place. Some shoes just don't work in this way, and these are reserved for longer outings like work et cetera.
We do have several communal pairs of slippers for use exclusively in the tiled area of our living room. They're just really cheap practically disposable open toed slippers. The kind you get in hotels.
We have toddlers and, thankfully they seem to be excluded from the shoe-rules.
Shoes on at home
Shoes off on the street or in the shops
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? 🤢
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'm curious what state you are in. White people in California very much wear shoes inside.
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.
Having moved from the shoes off Midwest to Los Angeles I’ve found that basically anyone non-Asian is wearing shoes indoors.
It's as if by living in a nordic country I didn't want to bring the dirt and snow inside my home. Curious.
Well this makes me more proud to be a Canadian.
Buuut, I’m noticing a pattern. If it’s a very dry country then I guess you have less chance of mud and are more likely to wear your shoes inside.
I wear house shoes in the house. What does that make me?
Full on shoes? That’s very odd.
Why not sandals? That’s very normal and imo way more convenient
