Because I'm Mr Rogers. When I come home, I take off my jacket & work shoes, and put on my sweater and home shoes. I also sing a song.

Holy shit... I didn't know I was him...
According to my dad, "because if I walk around in socks I always end up stepping in something wet"... I don't know why they just leave wet spots around to step in.

Sick of stepping on crap on the floor. Kids are messy. Also my feet get cold. And socks wear out too fast.
My lifestyle necessitates being able to go outside at a moment's notice.
I wear mine in the house because I have a collapsed arch on one foot, and both my knees are completely shot. Shoes keep the feet lighed up, and I don't sublux my kneecap nearly as often.
I have a separate set of onutsuka tigers that are only for in the house. For home gym mostly, but also at my standing desk sometimes it's more comfortable than flat bare feet. And because of these sometimes they just stay on.
I have some slippers but I make them smell like a dead mouse, so I like to leave them alone.
Because I haven't taken them off
The floor is cold.
But there is sleeper for that.
I like to cook, and I like big cooks. My favorite thing to do on a Sunday is wake up and immediately start dinner. Fresh bread, slow roasted meats, things that take time in the kitchen. It's not weird for me to spend hours in there, and a kitchen needs a hard floor because carpet will just absorb spills and become disgusting really quickly. My old ass gets really sore after 5 hours standing barefoot on hard tile, so I have some house shoes that never go outside and help me stay comfortable.
Damn, Sunday sounds decent at yours.
Come thru, we'll make you a plate.
You spelled "incredible" wrong.

Years ago I had a glass light cover shatter in the hall between my bed and toilet. Thought I got it all swept up. Two weeks later, a 2am half asleep piss trip ended in 10 minutes of digging a glass shard out of my foot and stopping the bleeding. I now wear something with a sole very nearly at all times.
As I get older I find my heels and arches just hurt randomly walking on hard flooring, and carpets get gross. The solution for me is a pair of sketchers I reserve for indoor use.

I take off my shoes at home, but at my best friend's house I leave them on because she has pets and the floors are always filthy.
Pretty much this. The floor at home isn't in good shape, so you choose between shoes or potential splinters. I could get into a whole rant about why I live like this, but this is not the time or place.
Better to step in cat puke with, my dear.
Why do you walk in cat puke in your home?
I have cats that live in my home, where else should they puke?
sometimes that's how you find out there's cat puke in your home.
Where I live it's very unnatural. Definitely because of the weather (lots of snow, long winters).
Came here to say the same. I feel like "indoor shoes" are a lot more rare in places where you have a chance of tracking in snow
What do you mean by that? (English is not my native language)
We have a moderate amount of snow and relatively long winters here. Most people wear indoor shoes (slippers, Crocs etc) when inside, at least in their own home. At guests we either get them from the host or you walk on socks.
What does the weather have to do with that?
They mean wearing your outdoor shoes indoors
Why not? They aren't getting dirty, i don't step in mud or water or stuff like that.
Because slippers are so much comfier and easier to take off when you want to lay down on the couch/go to bed and don't have to take shoes off to put other shoes on when going outside.
Slippers are terrible. They are floppy, and i have to keep my toes curled to keep them from falling off.

I don't have slippers, and my shoes are pretty comfy. If I want to lay on a bed, I'll take my shoes off, it's not hard. I use the same inside and outside shoes, cos I'm way to fking lazy to swap shoes when going in and out, if I had to then I wouldn't wear shoes inside. I'm not saying you should, so please don't reply with 40 paragraphs about why I shouldn't.
