Do People Actually Wear Shoes Around The House? (1 Viewer)

[Wingfrost]

I was always taught to take off my shoes when I go into a house. I also can’t stand having anything on my feet so whenever I can I’ll take off my shoes. They’re so uncomfortable.

yeah some people do. My dad does it and of course our house gets covered in whatever he brings in on his shoes

We don't have carpeting in the entire house but only some rooms. We only take our shoes off when entering those rooms. Otherwise, we always have our shoes on. Here taking your shoes off before entering the house is not a thing.

I always was thought to take of my shoes. I also can’t stand it if others go inside my place with their shoes on.

I don't, and no one around me does either. If you walked in with shoes without asking permission first i would think you were crazy tbh.

Then again, i'm from northern europe and not the US (or southern europe where i've heard people also keep their shoes on???)

If I’m going up to my room I take my shoes off. Otherwise than that I keep them on

I have never in my life seen someone walk around their house all day with shoes on. But like other ppl have said If I just got home I walk to my room with shoes on and take them off there but I always do it right away since my room is right next to front door. Altho if I go to someone elses house I usually keep my shoes on, unless they have carpet or I am sitting on their bed or something then I take them off.

I can't be at home with shoes on, it's so uncomfortable. My dad however will happily sit around with his shoes on it's so strange to me.
Shoes should be taken off when you enter the house imo.

I have NEVER
an asian thing though

Same here lol

We have a genkan in our house and everyone is expected to remove their shoes there before proceeding into the rest of the house (This is the same with any household in Japan)

• Some people have no carpet or installed flooring, which means splinters. Either walk in shoes or get a splinter.
• Some people who have cheap carpet don't care about their floor. They will still vacuum, but it's cheap. Sometimes cheap carpet looks like shit no matter shoes or not.
• My dad wears shoes in the house all the time because he has plantars fasciitis, neuropathy, and arthritis. Getting old sucks. We have mostly wood floors now but they get dirtier than carpets.
• I wear my shoes to my bedroom and take them off because 1. mom will trip over them then yell at me 2. mom will steal my shoes to wear when she can't find hers 3. ADHD means if they are not in my closet they'll end up in a weird place like the fridge.

A lot of Americans that do wear their shoes inside frown upon walking mud and such into the house. They usually put a lot of maintenance into their carpets and doubly so because pets (your pets dirty flooring more than your shoes).

I'm American and I don't ever wear my shoes in the house (unless I need to keep going in and out of the house for groceries and other things). I also don't know of any people in my area who walk around their house with shoes on. They always take them off by the door that they enter.

Sometimes my grandparents, who were originally from my area but now live in Arizona, wear shoes around my house when they visit, and my mom gets pissed because my grandpa sometimes gets dirt on the carpet lol.

It's also a thing when having people coming into your home to perform construction. They wear their shoes but of course most of them wear disposable covers on the bottom.
