Do you wear shoes in your home?

[Anneal 2,197]

I'm actually a bit curious since it's often not made clear in certain European and American cultures whether people wear shoes in their home or not. I've never seen anyone wear their shoes in their house, but I want to know what it's like for other places.

So how is it like in your home? Do you wear your shoes and walk with it around the living room, or do you leave it on the doorway or on the shelf, or do you wear another pair of indoor shoes? Edited November 12, 2016 by Minccino

I always take them off before I step foot in my house. Unless I forgot something and need to quickly grab it, then they stay on.

That's what I do too.

I really dislike the filth that comes from people's shoes as it means additional vacuuming and that has never been my favorite thing.

I never step on to my house with my shoes. I dont like to walk with socks in my house either

[AmarisNsane 2,730]

Neither. I just wear socks and never go bearfoot. 

 ^ This.  I never wear shoes in the house but I rarely ever go barefoot either.  I almost always have socks on.

[Anneal 2,197]

Well, I added that option to whoever wears socks indoors.

[GeekySonic 1,150]

When I had a house, I would always wear shoes. We just always had to be ready to get up and go do work outside.

[Denim&Venöm 19,016]

Only if I'm, going in and out of the house repeatedly or about to leave for a while. Otherwise no. Always wear socks all the time because socks are comfy and sexy. That and the floor is cold and pretty damn splintered in places. 

[Catpone Cerberus 23,599]

Shoes: never

Socks: when I know I'm leaving soon or it is cold.

 

otherwise I always am barefoot in my home.

[Luckygamerdx 18]

it's the first thing I do and think of when I come home

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,528]

I tend to take off my shoes the moment I go into my room. Same with socks too. I find it to be far more comfortable to let my feet get some air.

[Ninjaed 526]

As has been said, I have my shoes on when I need to quicky grab something or have to leave soon. I never go upstairs with them on though, unless I'm in a hurry and forgot something (like say my car keys...no I'm not speaking from experience, honest).

 

Otherwise, it's either socks or barefooted, whichever I'm most comfortable with at the moment - for instance if it's cold or dirty, socks.

I wear my boots inside as well as outside.  I would like to change that at some point though but it's hard to get out of the habit.  I used to be a bit picky when it came to wearing shoes indoors but then I stopped doing that, don't really know why I stopped doing that.  I only take my boots off before getting ready to go to bed.

[silvadel 1,393]

I wear sneakers for the most part outside, and slippers for the most part inside.

 

I try hard to avoid wearing the sneakers into the house -- usually the only time that happens is if I forgot something. 

 

More often but still rarely do I wear the slippers outside -- They do not fare well outside and I don't want to track stuff in.

I started wearing slippers universally inside after an incident with an errant toothpick which had fallen to the floor after I had eaten scallops.  Stepping on said toothpick made quite the puncture wound in my foot.

I wear them until I get in the bedroom. I take em off then. If I leave them in the living room with my cat whose in heat....well let's just say she reeeaaaalllllyyy likes my shoes.

[Kiri 7,289]

I usually just wear socks or slippers in the house.

[IronM17 5,379]

I wear sometimes sandals in my house. But usually, I am barefoot or sometimes, when I have cold feet, I also wear socks.

[Sketchy Tail 206]

Nope. I always just wear socks. I don't like being barefoot.

[Jokuc 8,173]

No absolutely not. Wearing shoes indoors isn't something people do in Sweden to begin with and if you did people would be upset at you.

[GrimGrimoire 4,973]

I wear them only long enough to get them off. Then it is socks or barefoot depending on the temperature.

[Ganondorf8 11,314]

Since the option "wearing slippers" wasn't listed, I had to go with my next option, "wearing socks".

Pretty sure "indoor shoes" mean/include slippers...no?

You think so? I assumed indoor shoes meant actual shoes.

[Allen 1,387]

In my house, I do with barefoot during warm/hot days, and with socks during cool/cold days in winter. Sometimes, I wear outside shoes indoors if necessary as long it's not dirty.

[Ninjaed 526]

Welp, only the OP can know for sure. Logically speaking, I'd assume so at least. I don't see what "indoor shoes" might be otherwise. Maybe sandals and the likes.
