I generally don’t just because i enjoy the freedom of wiggley toes, but I’m not adverse to it either.
Theres no snow or mud where I am and most of the places I walk in are cleaned daily (Work, shops). Honestly its just not a big deal for me here in Australia, shit people walk down the street or in stores with no shoes at all, so who cares eh. Bit of dust gets on the floor at home big deal, ill clean it on a weekend.
I've only ever seen this done by Americans. They also have really car centric cities. I guess it kinda makes sense to just keep your normal shoes on to warm your feet if they can't get dirty since you mostly only walk indoors.
Many places have indoor and outdoor footware.
So you still wear shoes inside, but not the same shoes you take outside.
You will quickly learn your friends shoes, and start to pick up on signals like whose shoes are outside. Who is home, someone has guests.. all by the shoes.
Because I have a "thing" about having those little floor-crunchies on my feet. Floating flooring is nice, but every little thing lays right on top of it.. So instead of constantly dusting the bottoms of my feet off on my calves, I just throw on some house shoes. Freshly cleaned floors excepted.
Birds and dogs shit all over the street then you people wear your shoes in the house!? 🤢
Guess what, everything has poo and bacteria all over it.
Your keyboard or phone are far more disgusting than any shoe. You’ll live sunshine.
Growing up, we never thought twice about it, we just wore our shoes inside (or didn't) and it was whatever, nobody ever said anything. I grew up in northeast US and the only time we really wouldn't wear shoes in the house would be when it snowed or if we had mud on our shoes, otherwise it helped keep your feet warm. It wasn't until I met my wife that she was like, "What the fuck?" She grew up in Kenya where it was mandatory to not wear shoes. It's so dusty out there most of the time that the house would be a mess if you did wear your shoes inside, so it was just an automatic thing to take them off.
For the same reason people wear pants inside the house - it's cold, gets you ready to go out at a moment's notice, etc. - plus shoes add padding. Also... not everyone does, wink:-).
My feet are cold
Fluffy socks or slippers?
I have slip on house shoes that are like slippers but being shoes they have a sole that can keep me from stunning toes on the stuff family members leave around. Plus they are more insulation when the floor is cold.
I don't always take off shoes right at the door though if they aren't wet or have obvious dirt or stuff on the bottom. Yes, that tracks some stuff in but regular floor cleaning takes care of that.
It is funny that the person I know who is the most strict about not wearing shoes in the house likes to walk around barefoot outside and then walks right in the house like her feet didn't pick up the same things as shoes.
If you have plantar fasciitis, it can really help with the added support.
