Come into my house with shoes on and you’ll be lucky to leave alive

what kind of monster wears shoes in the house
I’m in the US and shoes off inside.
Yeah maybe the dude is in the interior? Anywhere near the coast is shoes off
California is shoes on in my experience.
Places with diversity, basically. You visit a Japanese friend and realize how much better that is, lol.
That, and have you seen interior people’s floors? The shoes are sometimes cleaner, oof.
Heres the thing tho, do slippers count as shoes?
House shoes are not shoes
If you wear your shoes in the house, you are a a less-than
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
Yes I take my shoes off? I don’t want to dirty up my floors
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.
You dragging in shit from outside is not a “hypothetical” lol
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.
For shoes that fit properly. Wearing too tight shoes all the time is not great for the feet.
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).
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
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).
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
Collared shirts aren’t even as bad a jeans for me. I can unbutton a little and be just fine, the jeans are pretty thick and have seams though. They can get uncomfortable quick.
You sleep in your clothes, wear shoes in the house, and prefer jeans to softer pants…? 😳
Yes I am the weirdest man alive.
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.
Even in dry areas you will be dragging in dirt from outside
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.
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.
?! 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.
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.
Edit: and only if it’s my own home, not someone else’s
It’s always baffled me that people are comfortable with shoes on inside.
We have shoes, flipflops, and crocs piled inside the front door. If that doesn’t give you a clue…
Pakistan as shoes on? That seems wrong.
This chart is a hate crime against colorblind people.
Shoes on the main floor are ok but not upstairs
Shoes on everywhere for me BUT it’s Birkenstock type sandals indoors.
Hawaii?
100% shoes off, or failing that, flippahs.
House slippers that are never out stomping turds and spit? Nope. All good.
Do shoes on people immediately put on shoes as soon as they wake up or something? I don’t even put on socks!
Rookie mistake. You sleep with your shoes on.
Somebody ban this guy
Pro-tip. Sleep with nothing on!
I put them on when I’m leaving, generally
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 could get behind sandals. I had back issues for years and sometimes the only thing that helped when I was in the kitchen were slippers with a good rubber sole. Even then it kind of felt like kissing your sister - kinda good, but the good didn’t out weigh the moral shame
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?
I don’t know for UK, but France is not a full shoes inside society. It really depends where you live, and probably when.
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.
This is exactly it. I’m mostly in the sock camp, and only wear slippers at my computer in the basement.
Bare feet is somehow almost as bad as shoes, the only caveat is if you show up in sandals
the snow?
Quite possible
I grew up in the very tiny area of Canada which doesn’t get get snow so that actually didn’t even trigger in my mind lol
