Only barbarians wear shoes in their own homes.
Shit, even wearing shoes in an office job can be kinda sus.

shoes off in the office??

Oh yeah, I’ve worked in a bunch of offices where the policy was to leave shoes at the door, or to change into office slippers etc. It’s not all that uncommon in Helsinki; keeps the place clean in the months when the streets are full of slush and grime

Sounds comfy…

It is! And makes the place feel a bit more human, somehow

Back when I went to an office every day, I usually wore loafers. Easy to slip off and on under your desk without drawing lots of attention.

Ain’t no way I’m taking my shoes off in the office unless I know for a fact that the floor is clean AF.

That’d be the point, yeah

I would never make such a demand of a guest in my home. They are my guest and I will feed them and clean up after.

Don’t need a doormat when you are one I guess

You obviously choose your guests wisely, and surely they are as witty as youm

Don’t have to when living in a country where keeping your shoes on indoors at someone else’s house would be incredibly rude

I work in a cubical, and I take my shoes off before putting my feet under the desk. If it was more accepted I’d take them off outside my cube, but, I live in a country that likes shoes on.

SAME HERE
I often take my shoes off as soon as I can be where nobody will notice them. Under my desk is a no shoes zone.

Same. I have this gymba board in my office and it doesn’t even work with shoes on.

Worst desks I crawled under were for people who would wear their winter boots. Desks where people change into seperate shoes just in socks or slippers were much preferred.
