Do you take your shoes off?

Upon entering your home, do you remove your shoes? I grew up always having to remove my shoes. My husband thinks it's something only Asians do. Clearly, I'm not Asian. I am obsessive about keeping my floors clean, even more so now that my baby is a crawler. I do, however, have almost exclusively hardwood floors. They get terribly cold, so I wear house slippers.

So, do you take your shoes off or leave them on?

 

Always take them off.

 

I take them off.

 

I don't take them off until I get to my bedroom.

 

Sometimes I leave them on, sometimes I take them off.

 

NO

 

yeah, my feet like to breathe.

my last couple apartments had white carpet, so there was an extra incentive to take them off immediately so i didn't have to do constant carpet cleaning.

 

I always take my shoes off. In my home and others. I would feel so rude if I walked through someones house with my shoes on.

 

i have a outside matt to rub off dirt, and a inside one as well...plus i live alone with just my dog..so its the dog that is the problem...cause i open the door and she runs inside full of energy wanting food..

 

Instantly. It's so rewarding to kick them off as soon as I get in the door. It's like a signal that you're home and can finally relax now. I always ask others when I visit or hang out in their homes do they want shoes off at the door or not. Some mind, some don't, either way's cool by me.

 

I do not know a single person here where I live who would think it's rude if I don't take my shoes of in their home.

 

It' a normal thing here.
Most people have slippers for guests.

 

Yeah it's cultural, when I am in Asia I usually take them off as well when entering someones home. Here in Holland most people would look at me weird if I would take them off.

 

I can't imagine why I would want to wear shoes inside my own house.

 

nah, i almost always wear big work boots and getting them on and off is too much of a ball ache. when i've got trainers oni take 'em off sometimes.

 

I do. I can't find myself comfortable if I'm home wearing shoes. I also don't like wearing clothes I'm going out in and as soon as I get home I dress into something more comfortable.

 

i'll almost always immediately take off my shoes/boots and my socks. unless i need need to piss really badly.

 

I only wear shoes when I am going outside. They come off as soon as I come back inside.

 

Me too. Do your feet smell?

I have them on now.
