It depends on a few factors...
1. Who's house is it?
-mine: 95% of the time, no I'm not in house shoes
-someone else's: whatever their rules are
2. What season is it?
-the colder it is the more likely I am to wear house shoes
3. What kind of floor is it?
-wood floors I'm more likely to wear house shoes
4. Do I know how to navigate in the dark without stubbing my toes?
-the more familiar I am with the space, the less likely I am to wear house shoes
No. I wear thick socks or house shoes. We aren't pedantic like Japaneses but wearing street shoes in house is unacceptable and if you visit someone you have to ask the host if you can keep street shoes in his home.
I absolutely hate having shoes in the house and hate it even more when a guest or workers come into the house with their shoes on 😤. I know its convenient to take your shoes off anywhere in the house or to keep them on but why contaminate a perfectly clean house where you could roll on the floor if you wanted to with countless dog poop and god knows what else from out there lol
We (my wife and I) don't have a cultural prohibition against wearing shoes in the house. We go in and out and walk around in the house. When I'm planning to stay inside for a while, I've gotten in the habit of slipping mine off just inside the door for comfort.
When we have guests, we don't remove shoes.

As the owner of a flooring compqny specialising in most things flooring, I LOVE people who wear their shoes inside - its where I get a lot of my business. However, if only you knew the type of bacterias you were bringing in, then letting your kids crawl around on, or following rhe 5 second rule if you drop food... grim 🤢
I walk around in shoes, slippers, socks and barefoot. I sweep the floors and mop them and use mats at the doorway. Since I in and out in the garden regularly, the shoe on off is highly inconvenient.
I simply sweep and mop more.
My parents are both immigrants so hell no, you take your shoes off at the door. You don’t want your floor to get dirty
Shoes in the house? Why would a person need to do that? That's weird.
Nah, shoes for outside,
usually bare feet, unless bit chilly then socks or even slippers.
I do break my own rules at times and walk through the houses then berate myself for it.
Usually no. But sometimes I forget to take my shoes off and pass out on the couch when I get home.. 😅
I wear slippers or sandals in the house but only in the house (indoor shoes). I hate walking around barefoot.
No, I usually take them off as soon as I walk in the front door. That helps to keep the carpet cleaner.
I wear slippers, I don’t drag the gross shit from outside, inside. My shoes go on and come off at the door.
Nope in my culture that's bad. Only visitors have the option of wearing them in the house.
God no. I wanna be comfy at home, I don't put on shoes unless I'm going out. Sometimes not even then if I'm just going into my yard
Absolutely not. I don't want to wash the floors everytime I go out and come back.
Definitely not. My kids try to and it drives me insane
No... i don't bring the dirt of the street in my house.
i wear slippers in the house
my feet are just really sensitive and hurt and i prefer to be stepping on carpet but when there is no carpet i need my slippers
I take my shoes off at the doorway when I enter the house.
Yes, when I'm about to leave and when I come back from wherever I was.
It’s really a 50/50 thing with the shoes on or off.
I don't like shoes very much and anytime I can go without wearing them I will. This means that in my house I don't wear shoes at all.
I used to wear shoes in the house until they were stolen. I went to report this to the police and when I returned my house was gone. Also stolen. Now I wear shoes in the park, where I live
