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

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.

Slippers don't count as shoes.

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.

Shoes off on carpet.

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!

I live in America.

If you don't take your shoes off in my house my wife will scatter your dismembered body across the hillside for the animals to feed on.

Shoes on is fine... if you live in a barn.

I'm in the US and shoes off inside.

I'm an American and you take your shoes off at the door, bub.

As with most things. If America does it one way, then it's probably the wrong way.

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.

Whoever says Greece is shoes on, I'll spit in their coffee.

The US one should be stripped, it varies state to state

UK is shoes ON. Canada definitely shoes OFF. US is shoes ON, drives me nuts seeing tv show characters hop on the BED with shoes on. 😡😡😡

The Netherlands look red but it's definitely a shoes on country. People find me weird for asking them to take off their shoes. Any idea how nasty the roads are? Any idea how easier it is to clean your floors when you don't bring all the nastiness from outside under your shoes? Plus it's much better not to wear shoes in general, for your feet. That's why I wear barefoot shoes outside and nothing inside. Because outside is naaaasty. Otherwise I would be barefoot everywhere.

I don't wear shoes in my own home. If I'm visiting your home, I'll follow your rules -- but tell me before I head over so I know if I need to wear my good socks.
