  Living in Ohio (midwest U.S) its not entirely a yes or no and more of a “it depends”. Ive noticed older people assume shoes on but anyone under 40 will either ask or assume shoes off at the door. Theres also a layer of midwest nice to the whole exchange of not wanting to inconvenience the other person, so you get situations where a party will start with everyone wearing shoes, but end with everyone shoeless.

      The map is wildly simplistic, as usual for these Internet takes lol.
      In Portugal, for example (where I come from), I don’t know anyone that keeps their shoes in-doors 95% the time. If you’re doing some quick work or holding an event, people might be a bit more lack about taking off your shoes, but I (and many my friends) always make an effort to take some kind of home footware when visiting other people’s homes. As a general rule? Everyone puts some socks/sleepers/flipflops on.

      If you don’t already have a mudroom then designate a room as the mudroom.

      For us that is the kitchen. The dog goes right to the kitchen which is cleaned daily. Only after the dog sits around and it falls off do we let the dog into the rest of the house.

      It makes a very nice buffer.

      From my experience living in the midwest older people tend to assume shoes on is okay while younger folks either ask what is preferred or assume they should take them off. The entire exchange at the door is very midwest of not wanting to be rude or inconvenience the other person.

    UK too, shoes off too, have never lived anywhere where shoes on indoors was a common thing

    Grew up in the UK, in a “shoes on” household. We just gave them a good scrape on the doormat when coming inside.

    Since then, I’ve lived in a few different countries and am 100% converted to the shoes off way of being. I agree it’s much better.

    • D_C@sh.itjust.works ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Weird. I also grew up in the UK, and I’m in my 50s now, it’s always been shoes off in my and my family’s houses. Unless it was a quick visit.
      Same goes for my friend’s houses.

      I’ve worked in the other people’s houses for well over 30 years in different capacities, from ‘clean’ jobs such as surveying to the more physical jobs of handyman, plastering etc. And a high percentage of the time it was shoes off as well.
      Or separate clean shoes for inside.
      Basically it’s easier to change my shoes than it is to clean a carpet or floor after I have trampled dirt around.

      Ok, yeah, you’d get people say “don’t bother about your shoes” if I was only doing a survey, but I took them off anyways.
      The only time I wouldn’t remove my shoes is if the houses were cleaner outside than inside, but that hardly ever happened.

      If I had to guess I would say that in all the thousands and thousands of houses I’ve visited in the UK that 90% were shoes off.

      For me I have slippers which are worn often but it’s not expected that anyone inside wear them. Most people just wear socks if they come to visit. And myself I go barefoot unless my feet get cold then I grab the slippers.

    I reckon it depends on how warm someone’s home is and how good their circulation is. If I don’t have shoes on indoors, then for half the year it feels like my feet have been stabbed because they get so cold (slippers are not enough), but I don’t wear the same shoes indoors as outdoors. I suspect that if we set the heating higher and the house wasn’t constructed in a way that makes the floor always much colder than a few inches above the floor, this wouldn’t be a problem.

    source

    • FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      That’s interesting, I hqve a different experience - i used to have horrible foot circulation as a kid but i got into the habit of never wearing socks in my house (don’t like the texture, enjoy feeling air on feet and them being cooler) and i haven’t had the bad foot circulation since then… as far as i can tell. I have been wearing them for this winter though.

  • Dave@lemmy.nz ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The same in NZ. Is this that you never ever wear shoes on inside?

    Is it acceptable to walk into your own house and walk around with shoes on? Sure.

    Do most people do that most of the time? In my experience, people will be shoes off in their own home most of the time, but it’s not some big taboo to keep them on if you’re popping in to grab something.

  I have no idea why anyone would want to wear shoes in the house.

  When you lay on the couch do you need to take your shoes off and then put them back on when you get up to go make a snack in the kitchen?

• tweeks@feddit.nl ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  In The Netherlands, within my social circles, it’s mostly seen as overly informal and quite intimate to take off your shoes.

  You can do it at friends, but certainly not by default at acquaintances (unless they ask), as it might even be a little disrespectful considering taking off your shoes could smell a bit after some hours. Like you force your bodily odours or sweaty feet on to someone’s house.

  I totally get the opposite and am noticing a slow shift (also in my own house) to dropping the shoes. But it’s interesting to see that both stances are based on some form of respect, and perhaps also some pragmatism on our side.
