do you wear shoes indoors

drdeadlift

My missus goes mad when I do, she flips out and her blood boils.Guess shes right but as a chid it was never a problem.
In Norway noone wears shoes indoors, when I travel there I make a good effort to have new/clean shoes and footwear..the stress.

No, I keep my floors clean and anyone that tramps big dirty feetmarks over them will be sorry. Very sorry.

The shoes are kicked off and the bra pulled down a sleeve even before the door slams shut behind me. Ecstasy after a long day.

I never wear shoes in the house.

looksee

I don't make a point of removing my shoes because I am in the house, but generally I am barefoot around the house and often around the garden too.

sbsquarepants

No barefoot all the way.
Bare assed too if I can get away with it!

A square bare ass a pretty sight does not make...

Always, except in my own room. I live in a shared house and while it is generally quite tidy, the floor would not be washed too often.

Where do people be walking to trample mud all over the house?

I can understand kids, but adults commuting to and from work? (farmers and builders aside :pac:)

Pavements are dirtier than potato fields. All that goo and gunk and piss and poo, at least fields have clean muck in them.

Well that's a bit foolish so. If you don't get exposed to germs your defence system will be shocking.

My brother and his wife were extremely anal about hygiene and germs when they had my nephew. I mean they made you take off shoes and straight to sink to disinfect hands as soon as you came into the house.

They brought him to a toddler play group and took him out within a month because he kept getting colds and flu because he had no immunity built up to germs.

This is a bit different than what the OP is getting at, which is the germ factor, rather than comfort. In the other thread with the poll 18.5% voted "no" as in they do not wear shoes indoors in their or other peoples houses, but I think they were thinking along the same lines as you, and saying "I kick my shoes off most days". I am certainly not asked to remove my shoes in 18.5% of irish houses I go to, which I believe the poll was in effect asking. I think I have only been asked twice here, and I remember loads of neighbours commenting on how weird & unusual it was.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etiquette_in_Europe#Shoes

In some European countries you have to wear your shoes indoors, but in others, such as Austria, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany[citation needed], Hungary, Iceland, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Sweden, Slovenia and Ukraine it is considered rude not to take your shoes off, unless you are told to keep them on. In the United Kingdom this is almost universally the case with young children with formal functions being an occasional exception. For an adult who is visiting another's home as a guest, shoes are generally kept on after entry, though this is subject to the desire of the home owner. Removal of shoes may been seen as a partial waive of formality that is not appropriate for all occasions. It is usual all over the world to remove shoes when entering someone's home if they are wet or dirty.

Slippers and dressing gown within 20 minutes of getting home. Then a mug of tea and a pipe of good quality shag tobacco.

No I'd take my shoes off to save traipsing unnecessary street dirt into my home, AND because I'm more comfortable barefoot.

The bra is for comfort and sanity alone.

jester77

I always take them off, plus the underfloor heating feeling when you're in socks is nice

Snap. Finnish gf, no more wearing shoes in the house :pac:

Raminahobbin

Nope. As soon as I'm in they come off. When I first moved into my place I bought all my friends their own slippers and I have a slipper box...that never gets used. I intended being a pain about people taking their shoes off, but I learned that I'm not that militant and I don't actually give a shite.

anncoates

Nope. Have a old pair of Birkenstock cliog yokes that I wear around the gaff.

My ma used to whack us with those wooden Scholl shoes in the 70s/80s.

They even had those curved lines that made them invaluable as a corporal punishment device and they even were heavy to throw at a moving target if not within immediate beating range.

Knight who says Meh

I grew up on a farm so shoes were always coated in some form of excrement. Now I don't do it partially cos of that, partially cos I tend to wear big clunky work/hiking boots and partially cos I have comfy slippers.:)

woodoo

Slippers all the way. I don't like being around the house in just socks or the bare feet. I never wear shoes indoors either.

BTW can anyone recommend a really good pair of mens slippers?
