Shoes or not?

So do you wear your shoes in your house?

I've followed standard Asian tradition and all our shoes are off in the foyer. Even though we have hard wood all downstairs, I either walk barefoot or with Crocs on in the house. And my carpet definitely stays cleaner too.

    I try to enforce the no shoes in the house - but find my boys tracking mud everywhere anyway, the little turkeys. SO, no shoes for me, but apparently everyone else just does what they want. Until I get mad and make them clean their mess up. Then the shoes stay off for a few hours, but they forget until next time. On the bright side, my kids know how to get mud out of carpet and are excellent sweepers. LOL!

    I'm kinda the opposite, I have to have something on my feet when I'm inside, slippers, shoes, socks anything. But when I'm outside, I like to be bare feet.

    no shoes allowed in my rental per lease. i like bare but have to wear slippers b/c my bony fibromyalgia-y feet get very sore very fast with no padding.

    I wear shoes as little as possible. Never in the house (unless I broke glass in the kitchen).

    Our carpet is shot (I have five boys) so I don't enforce a no shoe policy ... but ME? I never wear shoes unless I have to. I can't stand having anything on my feet. Even on my elliptical and stationary bike I don't wear shoes, I wear slippers :)

    I have "house shoes." Haflingers (clogs with cork soles) are amazing for anyone with hardwood floors. Those floors are killer on feet! Especially when you already have achy ones. The shoes can be worn outside, but I keep mine purely for indoor use so that I can wear them in other people's homes too.

    I love being barefoot, but I'm way more comfortable in my Haflingers if I'm going to be standing/walking etc.

    my ex tore up the floors so there is only the concrete slab. I have to wear something, flip flops, slippers, something or i'll get a serious pinch in my heal. plantar fasciitis or something.

    Nope, no shoes allowed. I don't know anyone that allows shoes in their house. But since winter lasts 6-8 months, you'd be tracking in lots of snow and mud if you wore shoes inside.

    No shoes ever in the house! I have never understood why people wear shoes in the house and carry all that dirt inside.

    I don't mind - hard floors - but usually go without myself

    No shoes allowed, only bare feet, socks, or slippers. I don't even let guests wear shoes unless it is a person who would have a hard time taking off their shoes. I have light colored carpets in the house.

    No shoes since I live in a condo and noise travels even with bare feet.

    This no shoes thing is so foreign to me! It has always been shoes in the house, that's how I was raised. Now I live in an old farmhouse with gaps under the doors and around the windows that just beg to the country dust to "come on in"! I have to wear shoes because no matter how often I sweep/mop, I can always feel grit (hardwood floors)! :grumble:

    I will like to implement this in my house, but what can you do with the guests?

    A good solution is SHOE COVERS. I haven't had anyone refuse to take off their shoes (and actually most enjoyed being shoeless), but if someone did, I have some shoe covers in the front closet.
    Same stuff that repairmen use when they come on the house to fix something.

    Tell them "take your shoes off".

    I and everyone I know takes their shoes off.

    I don't understand why people wear their shoes indoors. Why would I want you tracking your dirty/muddy/germ-filled shoes all over my house?

    Definitely shoes off. I can't stand shoes on carpet.. tracking in all sorts of dirt... makes no sense to me. I sometimes wear slippers or socks but mostly go barefoot. Plus one of my dogs has terrible allergies and likes to rub his face all over the carpet so anything we drag in on the carpet eventually ends up bothering him.

    I don't. Socks if my feet are cold (which they usually are).

    Is this shoes off a regional thing? I'm from the south (Texas), and I don't ANYONE who does this! Of course, us Texans literally die with our boots on.

    No carpeting, but we all wear slippers. I'd go barefoot but I broke my foot three times so I need the protection.

    No shoes, and you'd better take yours off when you come in, too.

    I don't know why, I feel so constricted when I wear shoes all day that when I get home, taking my shoes off is akin to taking my bra off. So incredibly relaxing.

    My mom is Korean, so I grew up with the no shoes policy. I don't make guests take off shoes since we have hardwood floors downstairs. My husband grew up without the no shoes policy, and his family used to look at me weird when I would take off my shoes at their house. Now they look at me weird for other reasons. :bigsmile:
