  Guests take precedence. That’s my cultural position. Otherwise, I do whatever I want in my home and clean up after as habit, regardless. Sometimes I wear shoes.

      Oh yeah, I’ve worked in a bunch of offices where the policy was to leave shoes at the door, or to change into office slippers etc. It’s not all that uncommon in Helsinki; keeps the place clean in the months when the streets are full of slush and grime

  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

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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).

  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. Britain is a wet and muddy country.

  Does anyone here do shoes on indoors? Where are you all from?

    Grew up in the UK, in a “shoes on” household. We just gave them a good scrape on the doormat when coming inside.

    Since then, I’ve lived in a few different countries and am 100% converted to the shoes off way of being. I agree it’s much better.

      Canada is labelled as shoes off but we also have slippers.

      Although not sure about Nigeria, are slippers and flip flops like expected to be worn or just available?

      For me I have slippers which are worn often but it’s not expected that anyone inside wear them. Most people just wear socks if they come to visit. And myself I go barefoot unless my feet get cold then I grab the slippers.

    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.

    • Darkmuch@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      Do me the big decider is plush carpets. The first level of my house is mostly hardwood and tile. The second floor, and living rooms have plush carpets. So if someone is unloading a car, getting ready to leave, or just general in/out stuff, sure leave the shoes on. Once you’ve decided to stay, get those shoes off and be welcome in the cozy areas of the house.

    • FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      That’s interesting, I hqve a different experience - i used to have horrible foot circulation as a kid but i got into the habit of never wearing socks in my house (don’t like the texture, enjoy feeling air on feet and them being cooler) and i haven’t had the bad foot circulation since then… as far as i can tell. I have been wearing them for this winter though.

    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.

    So when I visited my friend that moved there, the rule was if you aren’t muddy shoes on in the first floor is fine but no shoes on the second floor.

    They also have guests slippers for the first floor. I think this kinda makes sense since they like having parties then they don’t allow anyone upstairs.

    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.

    Maybe it would be different if I had carpet. Carpet is impossible to thoroughly clean in situ. I would never allow 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.

  My dad came to visit once. He’s a shoes off kind of guy. Pretty diligent about it too. Problem is, he just doesn’t like wearing them anywhere. Sure go stand in my half mud yard and smoke a cigar and then walk right back into my kitchen.

  We decided to show him around the area. Drive out to the coast. Leaving the car, “Dad you might want your shoes.” Get to the beach, as we’re strong into the sand, he stops, “I think I should put my shoes on.”

  I fucking died.

  All this to say, if you’re shoes off, make sure everyone is shoes on outside.
