Title: Shoes Inside the House?
Post by: patriciaeclevenger on March 22, 2016, 08:20:26 pm
Do you wear shoes inside your home? I typically take off my shoes and either go barefoot or wear my house slippers (they're super comfortable). When guests are over I encourage them to do whatever is comfortable but most take off their shoes. The only time shoes stay on in the house is if we are grilling (or something equivalent outside).

What about you?

Try to keep outside shoes off in the house.

As soon as I get home my shoes go off and my slippers go on.

Same here! Shoes are not allowed in my house. We take them off in the foyer before entering the rugged area of the house. But guests are given the option and some take off their shoes and some don't. My husband is adamant about the shoe rules in the house due to his OCD! lol

We are not worried about guests taking off their shoes when they enter the house. We leave it up to them. I myself do not take off my shoes straight away upon entering the house. My shoes are really comfortable (Dr Scholl with built-in gel inserts!) so I don't take them off until I find my slippers. There have been occasions when I have been so busy doing jobs around the house and running errands in the town, that I have not taken off my shoes from the time I dropped my kids off at school until the time I pick them up! Of course it doesn't help that my shoes feel like slippers so most of the time, I forget to take them off!

No I don't take my shoes off.  Unless they are super muddy or something.  Too annoying to have to put them on every time I want to go outside.

In my culture we usually leave our shoes by the front door. But every now and then we ask our guests to leave them on because if they wearing Slippas they might not find them when they leave cause some other guests when they leave before them and have same color them might take your new ones and leave you with their old ones. LOL

I don't wear my shoes in the house. I wear socks in the winter and barefooted in summer.

My shoes come off when I come in the house.  Just more comfortable barefoot.  I keep a pair of flip flops by the door in case i need to run outside for a minute.   My husband will wear his shoes all day long.

I don't take my shoes off and neither does anyone else.  The difference might be I have no carpet in my home.  All hardwood or ceramic tile.  So if something is dirty or spilled super easy to clean.

I do take my shoes off, I dont insist anyone take their shoes off, unless its muddy outside, then I ask

I used to love to go barefoot when I was younger.  We only have carpeting in the bedrooms, so the hard floors make it pretty uncomfortable to go barefoot.  Not to mention the fact that I live in Arizona and as soon as the weather warms up, out come the Scorpions.  Wouldn't want to step on one of those barefoot!  So no, no more barefoot unless I'm on a beach!

I hate being barefoot, I have to keep my shoes on. Hate slippers. Don't have a single pair.

No I take my shoes off as soon as I come through the door if I am not going back out for the day.

I would love to take me shoes of in the house but because of my mild disability shoes help me walk and keep my balance. When people come to my house they are welcome to take there shoes off if they wish.Most of them keep them on except for my mother who I think would love to be barefoot all the time.  :rose: :rainbow: :peace: :wave:

I know it is more sanitary to remove shoes considering all the stuff you walk across during the day (e.g., public bathroom floors), but I hate walking through the house with no shoes. I do have slippers, well actually flip flops that I wear, but i still wear my shoes all the way to my room to put them on. My husband refuses to take his off, so even i did, his dirty shoe bottoms would remain a problem.

I don't wear shoes in my house but it is solely a comfort thing.  It doesn't have anything to do with protecting the floors or anything like that.

Shoes are not allowed in my house. When I was little, it was the same thing at my mom's house. It just does not seem right to wear shoes in the house when we walk on all types of things out side.

I like taking my shoes off when I enter my house. When people visit, they usually keep theirs on.

Yes as soon as I get in my room I take off my shoes.  During the winter I wear house shoes.  Summer time I walk around my house barefoot.  I hate wearing house shoes in the summertime.

I am in and out a lot most of the time.  If I took my shoes off to come in and on to go out, I'd be spending a good part of my time just doing shoes.  I would never ask guests to take off their shoes.

I would rather not wear shoes in the house, but sometimes I have too as I am in and out  for the most of the day working in the yard and such. When I was single living in my apartment,  as soon as I hit the door off went the shoes, then the bra and by the time I got to my bedroom I was ready to be really comfortable.  The shoes were heels. But  I quit wearing them after my car wrecks 2 in 3 months both time creamed by someone running the lights. Even then the tennis shoes wear kicked off.

We who live here don't wear shoes in the house. I wear bedroom slippers, that I only wear in the house. when I ask my other family members to remove their shoes they look at me weird.

Once I'm inside the house I take off my shoes and put on my comfortable bedroom slippers.  If I have company I leave my shoes on.   :)

Post by: nmbrown863 on March 28, 2016, 05:17:22 pm
Most of the time I take them off when I get home. Mostly because I work at a restaurant and food and grease gets stuck on the bottom of my shoes. Don't want to track it in the house.

Why does grilling change the rule ???  I go barefoot or wear sox around the house.   :thumbsup:

We do but we take them off inside!

Post by: sak4kat on March 29, 2016, 05:55:32 am
We have the same rule for the most part as well.  The funny thing about it is; the one who made up the rule (My husband) doesn't follow it.  The kids and I prefer walking around in socks or barefoot.  Although w/hardwood floors in Illinois I chill so easily I'll wear house shoes.  I've had surgery on one foot so I should wear shoes all the time.  It's rare that I have 2 pair of the suggested pair of shoe to have an indoor and outdoor set.

I wear my shoes or slippers all the time in my house. 

I have cold feet and am very uncomfortable with bare feet.

I carry my slippers with me when I visit so I can take off my shoes at their door, and then I put on my slippers.

Yes I take off  my shoes, I have inside shoes or slippers too that are like you said way more comfortable.

    Always wear something on your feet: Socks, sleepers or flip-flops...for you do not know all the germs that hide on your carpet or floor.

Post by: mrrangerrick on March 31, 2016, 12:33:04 pm
I keep them inside too, but you can still get creepy crawlers inside too, it's always a good idea to shake your shoes out before you put them on.

I was raised to not wear shoes in the house.  My mother was a clean freak and would have killed us all!  Since I see all the dirt, oil, gum, dead bugs, spit, etc. outside, I know why my mother did what she did.  No one wears shoes in my house.  I will gladly take my shoes off in anyone's house if they ask or I see they have nice, clean flooring.

Usually slippers. Majority of the time I wear slippers. However, rarely I will go barefoot. Hardly ever tennis shoes or sneakers unless I'm about to leave or just came back home.

No shoes in the house. Bare foot or with slippers around the house. I just don't feel comfortable bringing the outside shoes in the house. But we usually let our guests do what they want. Some take it if and some do not.

HaHa. I had a hard enough time getting my 3 guys to fend for themselves when I was sick. 

I couldn't even get them to bring in the firewood when they were supposed to, let alone take their shoes off.

I don't know what the youngest or oldest does now that they're married but the middle boy definitely takes his shoes off at his home. He did it even when he lived alone!
