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.

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

I have an old pair of Birkenstocks by the door so I have something to slip my feet into if I've to run outside for anything. Most comfy shoes in the world.

If only they weren't so ugly.:(

Nope. Shoes and attached dog faeces off inside the door.

no, barefoot all the time even when running or a pair of vibram shoes. if only I could walk around barefoot at work, I would be good.

No, just in the bedroom. I love winding herself up though by threatening to go down to the kitchen naked

I hate wearing shoes inside. I love going around barefooted, even when outdoors. Nothing more comfortable imo. Good thing I have hard ugly callused feet.

I wear shoes 90% of the time at home. Mainly because I hate when socks pick up any bit of dust, fluff, dirt, and with wooden floors all over this place, two pets and a messy boyfriend there is always bound to be something for my socks to pick up. I grew up in a house with carpet everywhere, which was so much warmer than these wooden floors so I never adjust to having just socks on cold wooden floors.

Why would anyone want to wear shoes or runners indoors ? doing so just makes the feet sweat and is also uncomfortable. I never wear anything on the feet when indoors, it's pointless, well until i stand on a tumb-tack.

Yes I have to wear shoes - I have a dog and a filthy partner who stomps his mucky boots everywhere... I spend my life washing floors/hoovering up the muck but alas, it is too much for me... I have succumbed to the knowledge that I will never go barefoot again.

I would love to walk barefoot at home.

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?

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.:)

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.

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.

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.

Savoir.Faire

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
