  What if you have to quickly go inside and grab something? Do you take your shoes off for that or just walk inside?

  Shoes are ok inside they’re not mandatory

    Yes I take my shoes off? I don’t want to dirty up my floors

      Everyone cleans their floors 🤷‍♀️ the common living spaces don’t have to be pristine and most people don’t wear their shoes upstairs to their bedrooms where you would more reasonably expect an immaculate room

    Moved to a shoes off country over a decade ago.

    That’s EXACTLY what I do.

    Yeah shoes off. It’s a pain in the butt.

    However, you often wear shoes that are easier to take off / put on.

    Also, you just learn to really check that you’ve got everything before you put your shoes on.

    I take one off and hop. Or throw a rug on the floor and shuffle.

  I got in and out of my house about 50 times per day, and my feet are size 13.5s, so all my shoes are tight (they don’t make most shoes in anything larger than 13s). Plus my back isn’t what it once was. If I had to bend over and take my shoes off 50 times a day, I’d actually lose it, “it” being my L3-4 disc.

  Whereas, litereally nothing bad has ever happened to me because I wear shoes in the house. It’s all some hypothetical … I don’t know what exactly. Grossness? Is grossness hurting me?

  Tell you what’s ‘gross,’ as a thought exercise tho - walking around barefooted where my dogs and cats walk barefooted, they’re not exactly wearing shoes outside, or in the litterbox, nor are they putting a handkerchief down under their assholes when they sit down.

  But a pair of flip-flops for in the house plus floor cleaning regularly… I don’t really worry about it either way. IDK why anyone does.

    I mean I just wouldn’t wear enclosed shoes at that point. Flip-flops outside and barefoot/socks indoors.

    Being a cripple makes yours very specific circumstances. Most people can bend over at will with no ill effects.

    You dragging in shit from outside is not a “hypothetical” lol

    • FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I’m sick less than most of my friends on average and I wear shoes indoors when it’s more convenient than taking them off. Germaphobes can hate it but I hardly think it’s really that bad for anyone’s health

        I was thinking about just keeping to floors cleaner lol

        source
  • TrickDacy@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    IDK why anyone does.

    My floors are dirty enough without wearing shoes inside. Shoes would make it ten times worse. Shoes are uncomfortable. And I don’t want to turn my socks black because my floors are so dirty.

    You need a cobbler, then.

      For what? Sounds like they’ve found a solution that works for them.

      source

      • Echolynx@lemmy.zip ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        For shoes that fit properly. Wearing too tight shoes all the time is not great for the feet.

  I can get it for some environments. For example in central Asia, coming from a nomadic lifestyle and living in yurts (big tents) it’s totally understandable to keep your shoes on. Maybe the building style is a continuation of the yurt and lends to similar choices.

  I was once in Paraguay and their buildings typically don’t have a hallway, every room is accessible from the outside. Most of their life is also spent outside, like cooking and eating. It’s nice weather for most of the year, why not.

  But for European style weather and houses, I will always take my shoes off.

  Laced shoes are a pita to flip on and off. If you’re in a dry area there’s no reason to take off your shoes.

  If you can wear sandals, or it’s a wet sloppy environment, then yeah it makes sense to take them off at the door.

  • Saapas@piefed.zip ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Even in dry areas you will be dragging in dirt from outside

  • Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I mean, if you’re doing yard work or something understandable to leave your shoes on in your own home if you’re coming inside for a snack or to grab something etc I do that all the time.

    But like, if I invite someone over to hang out for a few hours I expect them to take their shoes off tying the laces isn’t that complicated.

    And if I am taking the day off and don’t really need to leave the house for any reason I won’t even touch my shoes I’m going to be barefoot or in slippers all God damn day.

    • Bytemeister@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      ?! You wear your yard work shoes in the house? Those usually come off before I go inside even if it is a quick grab n go.

      • Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Only if it’s a quick trip <3 minutes after using a boot scraper and brush. Unless I know I’ve stepped in something particularly sticky like mud.

    • Skyrmir@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Being barefoot is a luxury not everyone has. Combine that with not being able to wear slip on shoes and it’s a bit of a bigger problem.

  My friend told me he felt the same way about jeans which is why he wears sweatpants everywhere. I didn’t understand it with those and I don’t get it with shoes. Both are super comfortable to me. Only times I’m not comfortable in shoes is when I’m forced to wear anything besides tennis shoes (mainly work boots and dress shoes).

  source

  • Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Actually I absolutely agree with your friend and I don’t even stop at jeans.

    If I get home after work and I have zero plans to leave the house again or have anyone over I am in my Pajamas as soon as I can get my pants off, even if it’s only 5pm lol

    source

    • Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      That’s not me. It’s not uncommon for me to sleep in my regular clothes as soon as I get home cause I’m too exhausted to bother changing. My pajamas only see use early in the morning unless I’m jumping immediately into the shower after waking up (which is usually what I do on weekdays).

      • TrickDacy@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        You sleep in your clothes, wear shoes in the house, and prefer jeans to softer pants…? 😳

        I just find regular clothes so uncomfortable in a relaxing setting like lying on the couch and watching tv.

        Perfectly fine with them If I’m at work or going about my day outside but pajamas and loose clothing are just so much nicer to me than jeans or collared shirts at home
