Come into my house with shoes on and you’ll be lucky to leave alive
Slippers don’t count as shoes.
Midwest EU when visiting someone’s house.
X: you guys take your shoes off in the house?
Y: yeah but it’s ok, I’m cleaning later on anyway.
Or
Y: Yes please, I just cleaned.
40% of the world weard shoes INSIDE??!
How could anyone feel more comfortable with shoes on than shoes off?
We wear shoes/slippers in the house. For 2 reasons
I have never been able to teach any of the dogs I’ve had to take their shoes off when they come in the house. So the floor is getting dirty anyway even as we speak. Sweeping and vacuuming happens more than once a week.
When you live in a place where the temperatures are below freezing for 6 months out of the year, your house cold soaks. So the floor is most likely going to feel uncomfortably cooler than people who live in a more temperate climate experience. And it doesn’t matter how well insulated or sealed your house is, it will cold soak. Slippers/shoes for the win.
I’m an American and you take your shoes off at the door, bub.
Buncha weirdoes ITT. As soon as I get in the door, my house or yours, you can bet I’m stripping down to just my shoes and nothing else.
Shoes on is fine… if you live in a barn.
In my society people usually don’t get their shoes off at home. We did this thing of using specific shoes at home as a compromise. Works pretty well, it’s not that I wouldn’t like a shoes off policy, but it can get too cold to stand on uncarpeted floors.
I live in America.
If you don’t take your shoes off in my house my wife will scatter your dismembered body across the hillside for the animals to feed on.
Shoes off, you filthy animal
UK is generally shoes off from everything I’ve seen but ok then
This is bullshit every house I go to for all my friends in USA is shoes off…lol what?
Only barbarians wear shoes in their own homes.
Shit, even wearing shoes in an office job can be kinda sus.
edit: DOWNVOTE ME HARDER YOU FILTHY BARBARIAN HORDE, you know in your heart of hearts that I’m right
I work in a cubical, and I take my shoes off before putting my feet under the desk. If it was more accepted I’d take them off outside my cube, but, I live in a country that likes shoes on.
See, you get it
SAME HERE
I often take my shoes off as soon as I can be where nobody will notice them. Under my desk is a no shoes zone.
Same. I have this balance board in my office and it doesn’t even work with shoes on.
–Edit–
Removed the brand name from the comment.
Nubby balance board for anyone else who was curious
That link shows them using it with shoes on for what it’s worth.
Whoops, sorry about advertising. Didn’t think about that before posting.
The IT guys putting you pc equipment together hate you.
Fun fact, I’m the IT guy lol I dont have to go around the office much, most my day is at my desk also as an IT guy I’d rather crawl under someone’s desk that never put their shoes under there. After walking around the office, in the bathroom, outside on the side walk in your shoes, your socked feet are cleaner.
Worst desks I crawled under were for people who would wear their winter boots. Desks where people change into seperate shoes just in socks or slippers were much preferred.

I once had dedicated office slippers under my desk
I’m also team office slippers. They’re so snuggly!
shoes off in the office??
Oh yeah, I’ve worked in a bunch of offices where the policy was to leave shoes at the door, or to change into office slippers etc. It’s not at all uncommon in Helsinki; keeps the office clean in the months when the streets are full of slush and grime
Sounds comfy…
It is! And makes the place feel a bit more human, somehow
Back when I went to an office every day, I usually wore loafers. Easy to slip off and on under your desk without drawing lots of attention.
Ain’t no way I’m taking my shoes off in the office unless I know for a fact that the floor is clean AF.
That’d be the point, yeah
I would never make such a demand of a guest in my home. They are my guest and I will feed them and clean up after.
Don’t need a doormat when you are one I guess
You obviously choose your guests wisely, and surely they are as witty as you.
Don’t have to when living in a country where keeping your shoes on indoors at someone else’s house would be incredibly rude
I don’t mind prioritizing the guest over the host. So, that is how I operate in my home and no one is being rude. Not that either approach is wrong. But, given the rudeness I’ve encountered here it dosen’t feel like avoiding rudeness is the driving factor.
You’re still that salty over some random joke comment?
You can send me the therapy bill
Naw, just replying to pompousness and scrubbing my floors furiously.
He is right op. I live in shoes off society. I cant understand Shoes on society. İn the house with get dirty.
The US one should be stripped, it varies state to state
