    We wear shoes/slippers in the house. For 2 reasons

    I have never been able to teach any of the dogs I’ve had to take their shoes off when they come in the house. So the floor is getting dirty anyway even as we speak. Sweeping and vacuuming happens more than once a week.

    When you live in a place where the temperatures are below freezing for 6 months out of the year, your house cold soaks. So the floor is most likely going to feel uncomfortably cooler than people who live in a more temperate climate experience. And it doesn’t matter how well insulated or sealed your house is, it will cold soak. Slippers/shoes for the win.

    In my society people usually don’t get their shoes off at home. We did this thing of using specific shoes at home as a compromise. Works pretty well, it’s not that I wouldn’t like a shoes off policy, but it can get too cold to stand on uncarpeted floors.

    I live in America.

    If you don’t take your shoes off in my house my wife will scatter your dismembered body across the hillside for the animals to feed on.

    Buncha weirdoes ITT. As soon as I get in the door, my house or yours, you can bet I’m stripping down to just my shoes and nothing else.
