    I used to live in Korea where the streets were filthy with dirt and human filth. Not only did you take off your shoes when entering a home, there were little closets right by the door in which to store them. Back in D.C. I continue to take off my shoes before entering my home to keep dirt, poo, chemicals, pesticides, fertilizer, etc out of my lungs and off of my carpet and floors. It requires less vacuuming and preserves the floors. My butter toned carpets are at least 28 years old. I don't do so at others' homes or ask them to do so at mine but most everyone walk in through the garage on indoor outdoor carpet giving their dirty lots of time to fall off of their feet.

    the soles of shoes are filthy...I don't need that filth tracked through my house. shoes off. i will wear them occasionally if i've left the house and have to run back in to get something really quick, but that's it. they make slippers for a reason.

    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 :D. 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 boom! I told ya babe :D

    I grew up on a farm- tile floors- unless they were muddy/wet we kept shoes on- it was the way of things.

    Now I live in the north east- and it's been sh*tty all winter and it's my own place with carpet- shoes off- as a general rule of thumb- Often- when it's not wet out- I'll walk my bag to the kitchen return to the door and remove shoes. But I've become a mostly shoes off house- makes cleaning and shoe wrangling easier- I can actually find most of my shoes now. LOL

    In Canada, I think it's just common sense to do this because we have snow, rain and slush for a lot of the year, and mud in the summer.

    A lot of people I know have "mudrooms" which are entranceways that are just for removing shoes and coats, etc... Easy to clean floors and walls.

    Shoes off as soon as I walk in the house. I hate outside dirt coming into the house. In others' houses, I gauge what they do. If they all have shoes off, mine come off too. I would really rather be barefoot all the time anyway.

    ^All of this! I can't wait until all this snow is gone. I love being barefoot! My feet are usually hot and I just like the freedom!

    Do you take your sneakers/shoes off when you enter your home or do you wear them inside? If you go to someone's house and they ask you to take your shoes off before you enter, do you think of them as stuck up or no?

    Yes. Yes. Don't think of them as stuck up. I hate tracking outside dirt into my house or someone else's house.

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

    Always take them off right at the door and always ask others to take them off too. In other people's house, I ask them as soon as I walk in. I don't like to be disrespectful!

    I take mine off. Pay too much for a cleaning service to track in mud/dirt/grime. All my friends/visitors take theirs off when they come over too. Unless we have a small upscale party and the ladies are all wearing heels, and they're not tracking mud around. But we're all pretty casual people.

    I do wear house shoes though because I have a high arch and need inserts, so I wear these ugly slip on crocks every step I take around the house. They don't go outside though.

    When I go to someone else's house if there's are off, I immediately take mine off. And if they're not I usually ask anyway.

    The shoes come off immediately when I get home. It's a combination of not wanting to track mud/dirt all over and just preferring to be barefoot. My boyfriend has his routine where taking his shoes off is pretty much the last thing he does when he gets home from work, and HE is the one who is most likely to have muddy shoes. If they're really bad he'll take them off, though.

    At other's houses, I follow their lead. If their shoes come off before they step on the carpet, so do mine. If it's a hardwood floor/tile floor I prefer keeping them on, though. Flats are my go-to shoes and I'm sure you ladies can relate that they make your feet a little sweaty. So basically I get paranoid that I'm leaving sweat footprints on hardwood/tile floors. I probably don't, but it's a mental thing.
