We've got some German and Dutch traditions in our house.
Ohhh i see
I'm half German descent, my husband is originally from the Netherlands. Over there the shoes come off in the house.
Yes, shoes are welcome in my home. We have 3 dogs and no. shoes just invite them to step on your toes.
Oh damn
As for the dogs, we have a big dog run and they have a doggy door in the back door that leads to it. Basically they have their own yard with an old couch and a few big trees
I leave it up to the guest mostly. With the exception of MUD... Thats a def shoes off moment.
Yea i mentioned above to that i understand mud
I think personally, the shoe is dirty and I wouldn’t want someone to be walking in with their shoe all over the house. Who knows where that shoe has been.
Also, I don’t have pets other than fishes.
No shoes inside! Take em off or you're not coming in.
I dont want all the shit people step on outside to get all over my flooring.
I dont know where people there walk at but here its not an issue. We keep our kicks clean. We pay too much for em
lol, San Francisco is so dirty that they have a feces map... there's a city division of employees that pressure wash piss and shit off the streets
Oh hell nawl 🤣
this is what happens when they encourage homeless drug addicts to migrate here with promise of housing and hospitality.
No, if I expect guests then that means I clean the house before they come. I don't wanna clean the house again after they leave, so they must take their shoes off.
What if they haven't even been walking in dirt tho
There is still dust under the shoes
i don't care they can wear shoes of the couch just as long as they aren't dripping in wet mud
I agree
Noo.
I don't want no outside shoe gunk tracking on my clean floors.
Where I'm from it's regarded as impolite to keep your shoes on
They can if they want to. If they're going to sit somewhere, they should take their shoes off and leave their socks on.
I agree
Nope at our place I have seen a person entering with shoes walking all over the house even in the richest of families
Ikr lol
I think it's a good thing not wearing shoes you can prevent so much dirt
I have wood flooring so I don’t really care. But I would hope that they keep their shoes on if their feet stink.
Lmao some people dont know when theyre feet stink
If you take your shoes off and the room smells like Fritos... they stink.
Lmao 😂 thats true
Unless they are really dirty / muddy, then yes they can.
I feel uncomfortable in someone else's house without my shoes, and plus, I'm not a fan of going barefoot anyway.
I agree
Ordinarily no. But work men give so much argument I don't bother fight them
I make them take them off because shoes are dirty. A house is a clean place.
No. In our culture, entering house with the shoes is rudeness
No. OH is OCD bout shoes coming off. She has a bad of flipflop/sandals for people to borrow
Are you Asian?
Not sure what ethnicity has to do with it. You gunna ask if i'm black next?
I asked because if you read around, you’d see thats its mainly Asian culture who believe in that. And i wouldn't care if you're black cause im black ✌️
Yes unless there is a storm causing the ground to be muddy and things similar.
I agree
Yes, but only if they're downstairs. Upstairs, either take your shoes off or have fun walking around doing a handstand.
Lmao
Nope that's a big no no in middle eastern culture and other cultures as well.
We don't even allow slippers to be worn in the house in our culture.
Damn. Whats your culture?
Kurdish... Northern Iraq specifically.
Never.
That's a big no-no.
That might mar my Persian rugs.
Guests wear offered beige booties.
Lmao you keep random pairs of booties in your house?
They actually make them for guests!
Various colours. You can even get them monogrammed!
Depends on the level of friendship but usually I ask kindly to take off the shoes. It might be culture thing.
Oh ok
Yes but I don't. I don't want ti track in nothing nasty or a virus
No. Footsweat doesn't seem to be much of a problem here, though. Also shoes tend to get a bit dirty here.
Downstairs is tiled so it's okay but upstairs shoes are generally a no
Oh wow
No, because my friends are dirty and messy always. Lol
Oh damn
No, simply because i dont want outside nastiness to get all over my hard wood floors.
Floors easier to clean then carpet. But do u live around a bunch of dirt or something? Here everything is mostly road/concrete unless you're at the beach or park or in the woods
most of the roads i live near are dirt. I live on the outskirts of my city.
I do too but we have lots of highways and roads. I even live near horse ranches but its mostly grass than dirt
where im from the dirt has this nasty red clay in it, and if that tracks inside, it tends to stain things.
Oh yea that is horrid
yeah it kinda sucks. Especially when it turns to mud.
House is no longer a home. It's an investment with less profit if they have to replace carpet before selling.
They make carpet cleaners for a reason
No... take your fukin 👞 off 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I wouldn't say it like that LOL but I would tell them to take their shoes off.
Mmm nah
If it was white carpet I think you would 🤣🤣🤣
Whos silly enough to buy white carpet
Haha not me but I have seen many homes with white carpeting LOL
I take my shoes off when I enter my house my guests are expected to do the same.
I am an American looking person with a Japanese method of always removing shoes at the door.
Lmao
yeah it's a nonissue unless you got white carpet...
Lmao whos silly enough to buy white carpet
i have no idea... Q - Q
y'all really don't take off your shoes in the house? That's so crazy to me. I thought it was just a sign of respect to the homeowner.
We’d find it more disrespectful if u took your shoes off at a house that wasn't your own
It's a default rule in our country that you should take off your shoes whenever you enter someone's house.
Oh what country is that
India
An1, My brother doesn't allow shoes on at his place. He says it tracts dirt and says something'll break.
What would break
Step on some remote, or trip over some cords, etc.
Yes
More than a half of my house is tiled with resistant marble plates, but steel cap heels could damage floors. We aren't Japanese but putting shoes off if you entry someones living room is considered here as mandatory.
yes of course, the house cleaner comes to my house twice a week soooo... i am not the one who cleans it
I keep mine by the door now. I usually take them off indoors though I'm not strict on it.
You can come in if I know you. Strangers are just another addition to my hitlist.
yeah no problem with that but i expect them to rub it on the matt
I agree
No I don’t it’s weird if they do it’s up to them. Not in a Asian house plus we got tile everywhere.
I mean we got carpet and tile but we still dont ask people to remove shoes
Gone into Asian houses I had to.
Keep your shoes on, thank you!
Exactly
Interesting, is there a reason for that?
Probably because we’re not Asian and dont consider the floors sacred. No one wants to smell others feet. A lot of people are athletic and need to keep their athletes foot in their shoes when theyre not at their own house
It’s not only Asian cultures, plus I am sure there are many Asian people in the US who don’t want shoes worn in the house. I don’t see what is so wrong with taking shoes off inside your house.
I mentioned above the poll that its fine to take them off in your own house. Its expected. But i think its dumb to ask a guest to go out of their comfortzone and remove their shoes. I also think its disrespectful if you come to my house and take off your shoes without my permission
See I don’t think that way, and that’s where our differences lie. My house is my private property, my space, so people can’t come in here thinking they can do whatever they want. Like they can’t wear their outdoor shoes inside, they can’t smoke inside, they can’t go into some rooms, stuff like that. It’s like when business establishments have rules about needing to wear shirts and shoes or you don’t get served. But on the other hand, I’ve literally never met anyone or had any guests who had huge issues with removing their shoes in my house. Again, I think that just goes with how things are in Canada. Especially in the winter.
They’re not even allowed to wear socks
Whaaaaat? Thats crazy
I don’t like getting lint and cotton all over my carpet
Y'all wear shoes inside?
y'all dont... 🤔
I dunno how's like where ya live but won't the carpet and stuff get muddy?
Where I come from we leave our shoes by the door while we go inside
Nah. We spend up to $300 per pair of shoes. We’re very careful where we step. can't get the Jordans dirty. Plus there's a mat by the front door to wipe the little bit of dirt from the concrete off your shoes. I've been around 25 years and thats never been a thang for a lot of the people i know in this city
Jeez.
That's a lot of cash! in my country that would be 30.000 SEK Almost enough to buy a decent car.
300 dollars American money is enough to buy a car over there? Here you need like 7000.00 to get a good car
Not like new from the fabric but here we start selling cars from 150 dollars.
I mean you can get a car for 3k here but it won't last long. 7k-15k is ideal for used cars. 21k+ is new car prices
buy mine
Only in the living room
Lol no. Most people tend to know anyways.
Are you Asian?
Nope. I'm African
Yeah i agree, i dont mind either.
Cool cool
I'm a nudist so no.
Jk
Darn, I meant to say yes. I messed up the joke... I guess the jokes on me.
My floors are not sacred.
Exactly lmao
Wear shoes inside? Why?
Why not... if you dont live there, keep your shoes on
Because to wear shoes inside is pointless? Why make a floor if you're gonna drag half of the outside inside.
Cause you dont live here..
So? Because i don't live there i can mess it up?
No one here tracks “noticeable” dirt in unless they just came from the sandy beach (in which you’d then remove your shows). Other than that, Its not big deal here
Still even though i see it or not isn't really my problem here. It's the principle. Shouldn't mess up the house when you don't need to.
I prefer it. I hate seeing feet.
I agree
Do you think germs stick to shoe soles? Shoes go into public restrooms, dirty streets, but they also could be constantly be getting wiped clean from all that walking. Thoughts?
Never crossed my mind. Maybe its more considerable now after corona but imagine them walkinf barefoot in your bathroom. I wouldn't want that and in sure they wouldn't either
Sure, it's a mess anyway
Lmao
I have a dog so sure, why not?
Lmao
Shoes? Sure. But that's all. . .
Yes, as long as their shoes ain't muddy.
I agree
Omg try to make it no but some slip by my eye
Yeah. The fuck?
Its crazy how many people sayin no
Yup. We have carpet.
So do we. But nobody around here suggests that and all our houses still look clean
All kinds of germs are on the bottom of shoes besides dirt. We just don't do it.
But in that case wouldn't they have us strip of all our clothes
I don't sit on my bed with my outside clothes on. I usually change as soon as I get in unless I'm going back out.
Even before corona, i wouldn't sit on my bed after coming from being out somewhere. But i would however sit in the living room (before corona) with outside clothes on
Not to get dirt in the house.
Shoes off :)
Alright
