im not trying to be negative, im happy for anyone enjoying this post. but i do feel compelled to comment that i find it hilarious that we are out here discussing, and dare i say "arguing" about this topic in particular. thank you all, good day.

Most people in the states can barely reach their feet. They have a special bench in their house for putting their shoes on, but they have to make sure they do a proper warmup routine, chair yoga, before else they'll pull something. Putting their shoes on is like the most exercise they'll ever get in a day. Too stubborn to admit they need their own handicap parking permit after they stole the one they use from their aging mothers. They take an ultralight backpacking camp chair for the two story elevator ride at work. They can't be expected to take off their shoes until they have to take their once weekly shower.

Yeah this shocked me coming to the Netherlands. Thing is, when everybody else is wearing shoes, you don't wanna walk around in socks or barefoot cuz the floor gets nasty. It's a vicious cycle

Shoes stay at the door and showers are taken at night!

I have shoes I wear specifically in the house I broke my ankle a couple years ago and ever since, walking without shoes has been uncomfortable and even painful. So I have inside shoes and outside shoes.

chanclas ftw

Where do slippers fall on this? I'm a shoes off person, but in the winter I've started wearing slippers inside.

I want to get another map which includes rules for guests. In some countries it's shoes off unless you're a guest.

I need mongolia to provide historical context.
(Also map is inaccurate, shoes are off in Iraq too.)
