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.

[–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 month ago

See, you get it

[–] faltryka@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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.

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

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.

Was recently discussing with someone that it's really weird that, on the internet, Britain is repeatedly labelled a "shoes on indoors" society, because nobody we know has shoes on indoors (in their own home). Britain is a wet and muddy country.

Does anyone here do shoes on indoors? Where are you all from?

[–] Armand1@lemmy.world 41 points 1 month ago

I've seen both in the UK. Personally, I'm a shoes off guy. Means less cleaning needed.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 33 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

For me, in Italy it's both, in 90% of the cases the situation is like:

You get in, remove the shoes and go barefoot/with slippers, if it's like a party, festivity etc etc, usually no one cares to get off the shoes

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago

There's obviously no need for durable footwear when your whole country is a boot.

I have no idea why anyone would want to wear shoes in the house.

It's so constricting and unnecessary. Do y'all not clean your floors? Do you feel like your floors are gross and shouldn't be touching your bare feet?

When you lay on the couch do you need to take your shoes off and then put them back on when you get up to go make a snack in the kitchen?

Makes zero sense to me

[–] gustofwind@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (5 children)

What if you have to quickly go inside and grab something? Do you take your shoes off for that or just walk inside?

Shoes are ok inside they’re not mandatory

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

Moved to a shoes off country over a decade ago.

That's EXACTLY what I do.

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 29 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Yes I take my shoes off? I don't want to dirty up my floors

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.

In what backwards and uncultured shithole do you have shoes on in the house? That's filthy.

I'm weirdly conflict conflicted, I mean we are on the map, but it is incorrect.

But most kiwis are shoes off in the house.

Do shoes on people immediately put on shoes as soon as they wake up or something? I don't even put on socks!

[–] Mohamed@lemmy.ca 39 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Rookie mistake. You sleep with your shoes on.

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.

[–] DriftingLynx@lemmy.ca 35 points 4 weeks ago

Shoes on is fine... if you live in a barn.

[–] shaman1093@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I am Australian and we are a shoes off household - don't care if you wanna have shoes on in the house but why would you wanna wear shoes in the house?

We barely wear shoes in public let alone in the house - shoes are just foot prisons, barefoot is best

As with most things. If America does it one way, then it's probably the wrong way.

What does it mean the US is shoes on? In my entire life the only family I know of that did that was a hoarding family with layers of filth on their floor.

The US one should be stripped, it varies state to state

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 weeks ago

The US is a nation of immigrants, so it depends on the host's culture of origin. So it varies from house to house.

The Netherlands look red but it's definitely a shoes on country. People find me weird for asking them to take off their shoes. Any idea how nasty the roads are? Any idea how easier it is to clean your floors when you don't bring all the nastiness from outside under your shoes? Plus it's much better not to wear shoes in general, for your feet. That's why I wear barefoot shoes outside and nothing inside. Because outside is naaaasty. Otherwise I would be barefoot everywhere.

I don't wear shoes in my own home. If I'm visiting your home, I'll follow your rules -- but tell me before I head over so I know if I need to wear my good socks.

Greetings from Australia; this is wrong. It's likely off or mixed, based on heritage and cultural factors.
