    Do most people here remove shoes out of a fear of tracking dirt around? I honestly don't care. I just don't want shoes on my feet.

    That and I hate stuff on my feet. I only wear socks when I'm putting on shoes. My feet get overheated very easily and I start burning up. Plus I just feel like being barefoot is a lot more comfortable.

    Both. I don't have anyone to clean for me, so the less often I have to clean, the better. I also love being barefeet and stuff.

    Theres about 1 or 2 houses in my lifetime where I've had to take off my shoes before entering a house, all of which wasn't in Ireland. It's just not a thing here.

    My house mates boss came over late at night once, he thought it mattered not that I have cream carpet on the stairs and landing and proceeded to track mud all over them... needless to say I was less then pleased as I like to keep my carpet clean, I told my housemate he would be the one cleaning the mess up... the next time he (the boss) came over it was shoes off in the hallway like a decent human being.

    As a rule of thumb, if you walk in the hall way or kitchen (where I have wooden flooring) I don't mind if you keep your shoes on, but the lounge I generally make people take their shoes off, if you buy the most expensive underlay and a decent carpet you really shouldn't need to have your shoes on.

    As for other peoples houses, it really depends on their rules and whether or not my shoes are dirty/wet, if the latter then I would always take my shoes off as I know how annoying it can be to get mud stains off of carpet.

    Yeah, keeping your shoes on inside homes isn't really a thing here. It's just weird and uncomfortable and impractical and. I guess I'd keep them on if I was visiting somewhere and everyone else did, but then I'd expect a rather short visit.

    I either go barefoot or walk in slippers. I keep my shoes on in other people's houses, though.

    Even if they don't?

    Anyway, the only time it's ok to wear shoes indoors around where I live is if you have shoes (or sandals, whatevs) that are used exclusively indoors.

    Pretty much the only time I'll leave my shoes on is if the house I'm visiting is obviously dirty. If I take my shoes off, I'll just be getting dirt on my feet/socks and be dragging that around my house when I get home, plus it doesn't seem entirely sanitary.

    Always off inside until I'm getting ready to leave. When I go over other people's homes I take them off too. My feet are always cold though even in shoes. Hate winter.

    It's a non-issue here. No one is ever, "Take off your shoes."
