I learned from TV, American shows like Seinfeld or Simpsons where the characters are always wearing shoes. Growing up in Canada we didn’t do that and I thought it was weird
Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?

TIL I learned some people wear shoes all the time. What a time to be alive.

I have been rewatching Friends and it drives me nuts. They regularly jump on top of the couch and the coffee table with their outside shoes on…

That’s super dependent on the social group.

Mr Rogers had inside and outside shoes so that’s the end of the line, champ

You come from outside
You keep your shoes on
Sounds like it dirties up your apartment and is lazy, but okay
You come from outside
You switch to different shoes
Makes no sense to me. Why would you do that?

It is a mixture of things. Carpet gets dirty quicker and is harder to clean than hard floors. Hard floors are worse for your feet, ankles, knees, and cause more pain. It is healthier to walk on hard floors with shoes on, padding and carpet wasn’t much of a deal (closer to grass).
Many people are moving to house shoes, I personally don’t like them. But then again I don’t like walking on tile floors for long periods of time either. It encourages sitting/laying down more often.

Wait that’s not just artists being lazy?

Uh ya, it’s called TV not real life.
They are on set, not in their comfy house.
At least that explains Seinfeld. Not sure why they would do it in the Simpson I’d imagine it’s because the writing does this shit at home too like a savage.

That’s just their workplace. They aren’t going to stop to have Kremer take off his shows. Also for people like Tom Cruise, the shows are used to change the perception of height.

These are the same assholes who sound like a jackhammer when they walk in apartments.

Your neighbors probably aren’t particularly loud, your landlord cheaped out on sound insulation. And probably regular insulation.

My parents had this mini dachshund.
If you were downstairs and she decided to run the ~5 pound dog…. Well let’s just say we nicknamed her “thunder paws”

I have an old cat who is 7lbs soaking wet. Wife calls it the exorcist when running around upstairs.

Well my 250lbs upstairs neighbor makes the ceiling creak and groan, but the jackhammering they did to fix the slab on the apartment behind mine rattled my bed.
