Having said that in my country it's normal to wear house shoes in the house.

Well, personally, I have foot problems, so walking barefoot is painful. So I wear flip flops around the house.
-
Leftover habit from never having bare feet touch the ground from my army days.
-
Kids leave and drop things all over house (Lego bricks).
-
I wear huge clown shoes. No room near the door to leave them.
-
Shoes off to flip-flops on. Feet feel protected.
Better to step in cat puke with, my dear.
I have bad plantar fasciitis so I wear special old person orthotic shoes. And most of my house is hardwood so generally if I’m on my feet I’ll wear my shoes inside to prevent foot pain.
🤷🏻♀️ It’s not like I don’t wipe my feet off on the doormat rug

As I get older I find my heels and arches just hurt randomly walking on hard flooring, and carpets get gross. The solution for me is a pair of sketchers I reserve for indoor use.
Every time I see people with arch issues complaining and saying they need their arch support shoes the orthopedic surgeon inside me wants to claw out.
You need to exercise your arches, not walk on crutches until the problem is so bad you need physical therapy.
Bare the barefoot. They'll improve. Your heel pain is likely related directly to your arch issues as you're putting more weight than necessary on your heels.
Disclaimer: I'm not actually doctor of anything, I've just been running a long time and constantly hear about doctors putting patients with arch issues on orthotics which is like giving someone with a weak leg crutches. You need to exercise and build the muscles, not crutch them.
Rant over
A lot of foot problems are actually caused because of our modern shoes that are preventing our legs to work normally
Hip and back problems as well. Although sedentary lifestyles (office & nonoffice) play a bigger role in that.

Years ago I had a glass light cover shatter in the hall between my bed and toilet. Thought I got it all swept up. Two weeks later, a 2am half asleep piss trip ended in 10 minutes of digging a glass shard out of my foot and stopping the bleeding. I now wear something with a sole very nearly at all times.
I'll say that I don't usually wear shoes in the house, but it's also a lost cause since I have two big dogs.
I have two sets of indoor slippers, so don't really wear shoes inside per say... though one of the slippers does close around feet somewhat like a shoe.
