    No it's not. In fact I've never even seen anyone do that before. You watch weird porn.

    You gotta keep your legs and the rest of your body warm if you want warm feet. Like how you can't have the piping in a house freeze if you want warm water

    I take off my work shoes when I come inside the house and usually remain barefoot at all times.

    Shoes on, unless I've just mopped the floor and then it's no shoes on my precious hardwood floor or I'll smurfing cut you. Seriously though, who wears shoes so uncomfortable they can't bear to wear them any more than "necessary"? The removal of my awesome, comfortable shoes just means I'm more likely to be cold and/or step on a piece of lego or stub my toe on something.

    Shoes inside the house is just about the weirdest thing ever. Shoes come off the instant I get inside the house.

    my mother in law's house is the only house that I can immediately think of where she asks you take your shoes off, and only if you plan on going into her living room. Her living room is the only carpeted room in her house.

    Where we live right now, I prefer to wear shoes in the colder part of the year because the floors get very cold, especially in the kitchen. However when we move out into an apartment, which will have carpet except the kitchen, I'm going to require shoes off, but I plan on having a welcome mat where you can place your shoes. I just prefer my carpeting to stay nice and fluffy. (my parents' is an example of a house that doesn't care if you wear shoes or not, so everyone usually wears shoes. The carpet was a lot fluffier when they moved in than it is now, doesn't mean that's how ALL carpet is, but still. I prefer no shoes)

    Shoes off. Shoes are for outside. My feet like to be free! If it's cold, I'll just put socks on and if it's really cold, I'll put slippers on. I vacuum everyday, so I don't really mind if visitors take off their shoes or not, but most people take them off anyway.

    You guys all just don't get it. What if you have to make a quick getaway. Then you all are going to have to stop and put on and tie your shoes and I'll already be long gone because I had my shoes on inside.

    No this doesn't work for me. No mater how buddled I am if it's colder than 50 degrees my hands and feet freeze. Hey, that kind of rhymes.

    It's a thing in Poland. Culturally, we are taught to always take off shoes when entering our own or someone else's house.
