UK and east Europe are you sure? Don't think a place where rain is just the weather that makes sense

40% of the world weard shoes INSIDE??!

How could anyone feel more comfortable with shoes on than shoes off?

Midwest EU when visiting someone’s house.

X: you guys take your shoes off in the house?

Y: yeah but it’s ok, I’m cleaning later on anyway.

Or

Y: Yes please, I just cleaned.

This is bullshit every house I go to for all my friends in USA is shoes off..lol what?

UK is generally shoes off from everything I've seen but ok then

Slippers don't count as shoes.

Yeah I converted to shoes off. It just keeps the floor cleaner and you're more comfortable in the home

Shoes off, eh.

We wear shoes/slippers in the house. For 2 reasons

I have never been able to teach any of the dogs I've had to take their shoes off when they come in the house. So the floor is getting dirty anyway even as we speak. Sweeping and vacuuming happens more than once a week.

When you live in a place where the temperatures are below freezing for 6 months out of the year, your house cold soaks. So the floor is most likely going to feel uncomfortably cooler than people who live in a more temperate climate experience. And it doesn't matter how well insulated or sealed your house is, it will cold soak. Slippers/shoes for the win.

Coming from shoes off culture I'm considering giving shoes on a shot. But I still don't quite understand how it's supposed to work. I assume you're not that savage to get in beds in shoes, so are you supposed to keep them near the bed? And lace them every morning when you get up? Or use simpler footwear that doesn't require lacing like crocs or something? Isn't that then technically wearing slippers outside rather than wearing shoes inside?

It fascinates me that people care this much.

Shoes off on carpet.

I have a friend who is shoes off. I respect his wishes at his home but I'd hate to live like that.

you should keep your shoes on in my home if you want to keep your socks clean

For me it’s like the saying touching grass

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

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 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

Buncha weirdoes ITT. As soon as I get in the door, my house or yours, you can bet I'm stripping down to just my shoes and nothing else.

In what backwards and uncultured shithole do you have shoes on in the house? That's filthy.

what kind of monster wears shoes in the house

Do shoes on people immediately put on shoes as soon as they wake up or something? I don't even put on socks!
