Do you take sneakers/shoes off when you walk into your home?

yes \m/

Shoes come off when I walk in the door. The half pint has learned this as well. I do it when I go to visit anyone. I just hate shoes.

I'm not so particular with visitors. Unless they have muddy shoes.

Unless they're dirty or I've just cleaned, shoes stay on.

Ceramic tile is killer on the back without some kind of shoe/slipper.

feet are not weird or gross...they're just...feet!!

I take my shoes off before I go in the house, and automatically do it at other people's houses.

I'm an estate agent, my shoes go on and off a million times a day.

There is no way I would wear shoes in my own house, hell I don't wear clothes in my own house unless I have to....

I take off my shoes before entering my own home.

If someone requests that I take off my shoes in their home, I will do so, but if not I leave my shoes on.

Yes, I take my shoes off immediately, and I panic a little bit when other people don't, especially when they clearly have dirty shoes. I mean, some things should just be obvious.

Not too many folks in my area of the rural desert walk around in bare feet or take their shoes off at the door.

One step on a goat head thorn that blew or traveled in with a pet will explain why......forever!

I wear shoes in my house. I don't like bare feet. If someone asks me to remove my shoes when I come over, I visit a lot less frequently.

Take them off! Outside = dirty! And I've never been to a home where I haven't just automatically assumed to take off my shoes... That's how it is where I live . Hey this is a super good topic

really?? Where do you live? like Canada or something?

Actually I think that is true, I'm Canadian and I don't know anyone who keeps their shoes on in the house, it's just an automatic thing, like taking your coat off when you come in from outdoors.

Haha I'm Canadian and I think it's absolutely rude if people don't automatically take their shoes off.. I shouldn't have to tell you. Plus, considering you're walking in wet snow half of the year I don't want your wet snowy mess on our hardwood or carpet. I recently went to the states and went to a party at someones home who I didn't know and everyone automatically kept their shoes on - now, our shoes were dry and they had tile but STILL I felt like a terrible person. I didn't want to be an outcast so I did what everyone else did because it appeared to be the local social custom. Besides all that, shoes are so uncomfortable... I don't even like socks. But yeah, I have never been to someones house in Canada where it wasn't assumed your shoes come off at the door... maybe if they specify while you're having a bbq and going in and out of the house but I take them off anyway every time I come in because it feels too weird to wear them inside.

When I get home, I take off just about everything -- and put on a Pac-Man t-shirt and elephant print fleece pants and cat socks. Or some equally hideous variation.

But nope, I don't wear shoes in my house unless I've just come home for lunch break or in the middle of a busy day and will be leaving again in the next hour.

My husband and I both track in a lot (especially this time of year) from outdoors, after walks and bike rides etc. I've considered setting up a place by the door for our shoes but haven't bothered yet.

Most of my friends wear their shoes in the house when they have company, so when I visit them I wear mine too.

Yes and no. I live at the beach so most of the time we are barefoot or in flip flops anyway. Spring/Summer/Fall they come off. Winter, they stay on.

We always take our shoes off when entering the home and I do the same when I enter someone else's home. I like being without shoes but I hate stepping on sharp stuff on the floors. Seeing all the dirt and grunge that collects on the tile where our shoes sit, it saves a lot of wear on our floors and cleaning as well.

At someone else's house I don't think it's stuck up. But I do think of the Sex in the City episode where Carrie's shoes were stolen at a party...but I have no shoes worth taking.

EddieHaskell97

Shoes come off at my house and at my friends' homes, too. None of us want melted snow/salt ground into our carpets, or even tracked on our floor tiles.

Lisa1971

Always take shoes off in my house. And automatically take them off in other peoples houses.

Yes and yes.

That's why you find a super secret hiding place for your shoes - I do it at every big house party I go to! Or even just tucking them in the front closet where the jackets are... drunk people/thieves typically pick the easiest target!

No I don't take shoes off in my house - unless they are muddy, obviously.

Nor do I take them off at other people's houses and I have never been asked to do so - is not the norm where I live.

LolBroScience

I do. Switch into slippers or flippy floppys

MizTerry

I don't take mine off in the house unless I have some slippers nearby because my feet always stay cold. If I go to someone elses house and they ask for shoes to be removed, I don't take it at snooty, it's just how they live. I have no issues with it, it's their house.

MissKim78

Always.
Dirt (and all that comes with it) belongs outside
