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? My home shoes isn't sneakers or anything like that. It is similar to this picture.

It kinda surprises me that Non-Asians also don't wear shoes in their home. Something new discovered. I sorta didn't expected more amount of such people.

I'm very sorry if I missed to reply or like any of your opinion. I'm trying my best to reply back. I hope you understand.
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 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 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.
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.
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
It is normally a African way of etiquette to keep off them shows when entering a house. And that is how I was raised n I cannot tolerate steping inside the house with shoes wic have been out in dirt n shit of different levels. So am team no shoes in the house.
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…
@Crucis84 Well what if the person have dust allergy? It can be dangerous. It is also kind of uncomfortable living in dusty home. You can fall ill easily
Dust is mainly caused by carpets. People who have dust allergies can alleviate the symptoms by having in their house tile, lino or wooden flooring only.
In home too? Wow you have much patience and power to wear it that long. I can't wear high heels for 2 hrs also without ranting about how uncomfortable it is lol.
I walk barefoot for most part, i use slippers when i need to throw out trash or something. I have done both back, walk barefeet and walk with slippers, barefeet usually in summer, slippers in winter cus of cold floor.
It is like this. I like my home. I like my hardwood floors and carpets clean. My shoes have been outside. They have walked on the dirty concrete, I've had them on while in public bathrooms and those disgusting floors, I've stepped in sticky spilled foods, discarded gum... all manner of filth and germs. Now do I want to walk all over my house with that on the bottom of my shoes? No.
Oh no, I'm not offended. I just think it is common for people to want to keep their houses clean and to take their shoes off. I'd be more surprised if the majority of people kept their shoes on. I was just elaborating as to how I would view outside shoes walking all over my house.
No I dont wear shoes in the house. It's kinda gross when you think about it. You walk everywhere outside and perhaps stepped in crap and you walk all over the house with that?
