    me neither, Id never tell a guest to remove their shoes, however if they wanted to they certainly could.

    I keep a clean house, floors vacced and washed everyday so germs not a problem

    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.

    *sigh*

    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.

    Jesus, you would be my housemate from hell. You go around naked in a house you share with people other than your girlfriend??

    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.

    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. :D

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

    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.:(

    Yes yes yes!!

    I get straight out of work clothes and into comfy clothes when I get home. Comfy clothes do not include shoes. Love being in my socks.

    Uh huh. Knickers, bras, and shoes should not be worn indoors, 'cept if they're sexy ones but that's different :pac:

    No, can't stand shoes on in my own house. Rarely wear socks past dinner. Flip flops or nowt normally. Generally come in and throw my socks at the dog, who thinks they are the most interest things in the world.

    Clothes for us are generally uncommon in my house too - let alone shoes.

    You have yet to see me (and long may it continue) cooking naked in the kitchen in a long apron. Protected from grease and flame on the front - bare ass enjoying its time in the world at the back.

    Ahhhh the life.

    My house is mostly tiles and wooden floors so socks or bare feet would be uncomfortable. Sometimes when I come home, I'll put on a fresh pair of socks and a pair of runners that I really only use around the house. Have the laces nice and loose so they just slip on and off and then I'll usually throw them off in the evening while I have my feet up watching TV.

    How are you supposed to curl up on the couch in the evenings with your shoes on? I look like a hobo in the evenings with my bright red ugg-slipper things (stained with hair dye) and my sweatpants covered in dog hair.

    Attractive, I know.

    Would the presence of chest hair answer both that question and the use of the protective apron? :)

    I like to leave just a tiny seed of doubt in everything I do and say.
