Do you wear shoes inside your home?

Question

Before I thought that only in Asian countries people don't wear shoes inside home but recently I watched a YouTube video where Koreans were meeting a German and he said that in Germany too people don't wear shoes inside home. For me I have a pair of shoes and a pair of slippers ONLY for home use and not to wear them outside. Do you wear shoes inside your home or not? If yes then do you have specific shoes or slippers for home use?

I put my shoes on when I get dressed in our bedroom in the morning and I leave them on until I get undressed for bed at night. I always have and it's what I'm comfortable with. Besides, I have different shoes and boots in different colors for different clothes and occasions. You can't keep all those sitting by the door. I do take a pair of slippers to my sons' houses when I visit. Of course, that means I have to make sure to wear a pair of shoes that slip off and on easily. That pretty much negates boots or shoes with laces. Even if I didn't wear shoes in the house, I would wear slippers. I don't like walking barefoot in the house, unless it's on plush carpeting. And not all the floors in our house are carpeted.

I’m in USA, and for some reason a lot of people wear their shoes around their home here. If anything I think it’s considered ‘rude’ if guests take their shoes off in someone else’s home.
I always take my shoes off as soon as I walk in, and I have a pair of slippers or crocs that I use to walk around with (or sometimes I just walk around with socks)
but I don’t make people take their shoes off when they come in, unless they come in my bedroom. My carpet in my room was disgusting cause I would always invite my friends over. I had to shampoo the whole thing and now they gotta take them bitches off lol

I do, but they’re not the same. I have separate shoes for going out and for home. Anyone who wears their outside shoes at home seriously need to stop doing it. I wear slippers at home and call it “home slippers” it’s for keeping my feet clean. I can’t wear socks since it’s pretty hot and walking barefoot just makes me feel weird.

No, they come off at the door unless I'm carrying something that for some reason makes it impossible to do right away, in which case they come off right after I deal with that.

Inside I either wear Ugg slippers or it's just me and my socks.

VinnyMac · Answer

I was raised to not wear shoes inside and taught to always take my shoes off at another person's home as a sign of respect. When you've been outside, walking through all kinds of things, grass, mud, or your shoes are all wet, you do not want dirty a person's floor or carpet on account of that.

We often wore Slippers inside and should they ever accidentally been used outside for some reason than they would need to be cleaned as well. Not everyone was raised the same way, so I imagine their are all kinds of different thoughts about this.

blackgaletiger · Answer

Growing up outside shoes were removed right as you entered the door in my house and usually parents or elderly would have indoor slippers/flip flops to wear inside the house. My Fillipino, Indian and Chinese friends have all the same custom. It is consider very rude to wear outdoor shoes in the house. My Western friends on the other hand, didn't care

TheAfrikan · Answer

I thought most homes don’t wear shoes inside wtf? Isn’t that unhygienic? If any guest comes and me and family wears slippers. If they want to wear socks that’s fine but not dirty shoes…

AviatorTom · Answer

We try not to wear shoes inside our home, and instead wear slippers inside. Shoes are generally saved for outside. That keeps the floors cleaner.
