  Is there a particular reason why you wear shoes inside? Does that feel comfortable?

    I’m not the person you are responding to, but I am a fellow shoes-oner. I find the soles of my shoes to be way more comfortable than walking on the ground. Like I go to shoes-off homes and they have these foam mats on the floor in their kitchen and it’s like “imagine those foam mats were on the bottom of your feet and went with you everywhere”. Additionally I live in a place where it gets cold. Cold feet suck.

    Now before the “well then wear slippers” gang comes in. I have tried that. The soles of slippers pale in comparison to whatever the fuck my Allbirds are made out of. Additionally, slippers are often TOO warm. I don’t want cold feet, but I also don’t want sweaty feet.

    If I have to wear boots or larger/warmer shoes because of snow/rain, I will absolutely take those off at the door. But when I take them off, I am putting on my Allbirds.

    For me, ultimate foot comfort is my sneakers. I’ll take my shoes off if you have a shoes off home, but I’m not going to enjoy it.

      Have you tried wearing socks on, shoes off? I have never in my life been at a point where my feet were too cold for just socks indoors, have mostly lived with hardwood or tile flooring, and also live somewhere with fairly cold winters.

      I just cannot fathom shoes-on arguments. Shoes can be so uncomfortable when lounging around the house.

    I don’t always wear shoes inside. I’ll typically walk around bare foot between waking up and showering but I won’t take my shoes on & off constantly if i’m entering and leaving the home during the day. Although in the winter, shoes can be pretty critical defense against the cold flood.
