Come into my house with shoes on and you'll be lucky to leave alive
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 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.
I once had dedicated office slippers under my desk
shoes off in the office??
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 office clean in the months when the streets are full of slush and grime
Sounds comfy...
Back when I went to an office every day, I usually wore loafers. Easy to slip off and on under your desk without drawing lots of attention.
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 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
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
Moved to a shoes off country over a decade ago.
That's EXACTLY what I do.
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.
Do shoes on people immediately put on shoes as soon as they wake up or something? I don't even put on socks!
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?
I've seen both in the UK. Personally, I'm a shoes off guy. Means less cleaning needed.
For 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
There's obviously no need for durable footwear when your whole country is a boot.
I'm in the US and shoes off inside.
Heres the thing tho, do slippers count as shoes?
House shoes are not shoes
what kind of monster wears shoes in the house
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.
40% of the world weard shoes INSIDE??!
How could anyone feel more comfortable with shoes on than shoes off?
Walk around barefoot outside - nothing left to discuss.
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.
Shoes off, you filthy animal
I'm an American and you take your shoes off at the door, bub.
This chart is a hate crime against colorblind people.
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.
I feel like Australia is more of a shoes whatever place ..
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.
Where I live it is also unusual to be asked to take your shoes off because it's just expected that you will since it's disrespectful to just walk inside with your shoes on.
It's more usual to be told to keep your shoes on if it's something like a contractor coming inside to do some work.
Shoes on in the house is gross. So is bare feet. Wear socks or slippers.
Yeah I converted to shoes off. It just keeps the floor cleaner and you're more comfortable in the home
Shoes on the main floor are ok but not upstairs
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?
UK is generally shoes off from everything I've seen but ok then
How the hell did Canada become a shoes off country when it's not only surrounded by shoes on but also both of its major contributing cultural influences (UK and France) are supposedly shoes on?
Our outdoors can be very mucky and wet and very dry and dusty depending in the season. Polite northern folk are clean, and we like to keep our hosts houses clean too. Shoes on is considered quite rude. During the summer we allow for short walk throughs with dry shoes on, but you ask first if its ok. House slippers are common but not everyone wears them, up here it's a "socks or slippers" debate.
Pakistan as shoes on? That seems wrong.
If you wear your shoes in the house, you are a a less-than
