Wearing shoes indoors...

[Randgris]

The only time I've ever keep my shoes on inside a house is if I'm at a stranger's house, and even then it's only if the stranger isn't Asian. Every single Asian house I enter, even if it's a stranger's house, you have to take off your shoes. It's just a given. It's really strange and bizarre to me to keep on your shoes when you're inside. Why would you do that? Off with the shoes, on with the fluffy house slippers!

It's a custom for us, we don't like shoes inside the house. Wearing shoes inside the house is like getting butt naked in front of other people. Its unethical and rude.

No! I just like thick slipper socks with the grippy stuff on the bottom and usually with bears on them, for indoors.

I wear my shoes indoors at my house, but I always take them off at other peoples.

[Eiko Guy]

I feel weird taking my shoes off at other peopls house but at my house I always wear a single sock. Just love the contrast.

I love walking around barefoot, the shoes are off whenever they can be.

I went to a Japanese restaurant for my birthday this year, and they let us wear house slippers inside the restaurant! I thought that was so cool~

I don't take my shoes off in other people's houses unless I'm going to be there for a while and am comfortable.

This. In my own house they come off.

I never wear shoes in my house. Barefoot ftw.

I usually take my shoes off in other peoples houses as well, incase they'd think of it as rude if I left them on.

[snacks]

I don't wear shoes often (don't get out much) but when I come home I usually tend to leave them on out of laziness. But for the longest time we use to never wear them inside.

Now I guess I just don't really notice.

[Breine]

When at home I preferably walk around barefooted, and whenever I'm in someone else's home I also take off my shoes.. although I keep on the socks

Same for me. Sometimes I'll go to take them off and be told that I don't need to bother, in which case I'll keep them on. Always ask people to take them off in my house though.

Shoes off if I'm going anywhere past a yard away from the door. People who wear them all the time are idiots who have no idea how hard it is to clean mud off of a carpet.

[Shiny]

Off with their shoes!

[Blue Harvest]

I only wear shoes indoors when I cba to take them off. Other times I wear an old pair of grandad slippers which are falling apart and thus are held together by safety pins.

Japanese style housing is different from western style. Often they have soft floors(like mats) and tables near the ground. You sit on the floor. It would be common sense not to wear dirty shoes inside such a house. I suppose that tradition kept going even though they may have hard floors.

Its like the same reason you dont put your shoes on the couch.
