Come into my house with shoes on and you'll be lucky to leave alive

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.

If you wear your shoes in the house, you are a a less-than

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.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

This. Shoes on was the default, not so anymore.

[–] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Shoes on everywhere for me BUT it's Birkenstock type sandals indoors.

[–] unrealMinotaur@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

Am from Florida we flip a coin every time we enter or leave a house on if we are doing shoes on or off.

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 love that you got your childhood home back.

I always dreamed of getting my childhood home back but it's just not in the cards. It was a beautiful acreage - the house sucked, but the property was what made it great. We had about 15 40 ft spruce trees in our yard, a dogwood hedge that would grow from 5 ft to 8 ft if you turned your back on it for more than 3 days (lol), tons of Aspen for a young Shovel to stomp around in, and a slough in the back for said Shovel to catch woodfrogs.

We sold to move into town a few years after my parents split.

Some dickhead moved in, built a big barn thing on one side of the property and cut the bottom branches of a lot of the spruce trees which ruined a lot of the privacy the place had.

I always wanted to move back, rip the house down and build my own house on it. Instead, I moved my young family to a small town about 15 minutes from where I grew up. I still get the country feel and the connection with the landscape I longed for, even though it's not exactly the same, and we have a new-build house.

I guess I did ok.

100% shoes off, or failing that, flippahs.

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago

I work from home and only really leave the house to go to the grocery store once every week or two. I wear shoes probably about fifty percent of the time, my feet will start to hurt if I don’t. I have two pairs of sneakers that are over five years old and a pair of boots that are almost twenty years old that I rotate. I think I must just live a lot different lifestyle than most folks.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You get a pass. That's a legit reason

Our house is not as clean as I want it, but, if we wore shoes in the house it would be way worse. We have a family member that lives next door and is constantly walking around our house with shoes and it drives me nuts. If they weren't so helpful I'd say something.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Where do slippers fall on this? I'm a shoes off person, but in the winter I've started wearing slippers inside.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

I wear slippers or socks. Bare feet are just as bad or worse than shoes because of oils and such from your feet.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

Shoes stay at the door and showers are taken at night!

[–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 20 hours ago

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

[–] Poppa_Mo@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

House slippers that are never out stomping turds and spit? Nope. All good.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 3 points 20 hours ago

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.
