Barefoot household

It's normal but I personally always wear slippers around the house or cheap slides in the summer.

Here in Australia, it's pretty normal to go barefoot not only in the house, but to corner delis, grocery stores and even petrol stations. I remember when I went barefoot to a servo in Canada and they stared at me like I was crazy.

I don't take my shoes off when I go to other people's houses though, not unless I'm friends with them. For some reason taking my shoes off in a strangers house (unless they ask me to) seems really rude.

I live in a tropical island so the norm is to go barefoot when you're indoor or wear a pair of flip flop.

Yep. Totally normal. I don’t even wear shoes going for walks in the woods or on the street. I only wear them when I actually have to, like when in a public place or there’s the possibility of needles on the ground.

I get why people wouldn't want to wear their shoes at home, but what about socks? I just wear my socks at home, it feels weird and uncomfortable not wearing anything on my feet.

Fully normal. Shoes belong next to the front door. My girlfriend usually wears slippers, or flip flops (when warm), I just walk around barefoot.

In Europe pretty much everyone just wears flip flops at home, or walks barefoot and it's normal. Wearing shoes at home is considered weird.

I am barefoot mostly in natural spaces like beaches and waterfalls. At home I wear flip flops.

Many Asian cultures do not wear shoes in the house.

I prefer not to wear shoes. It's better for your feet, generally.

It is particularly better for young children, whose feet are still developing, to not wear shoes. Apparently, they should not wear hard soled shoes until they lose the reflex that makes them curl their toes as if to grasp/hold on. I forget what it's called. It usually disappears shortly after they start to walk, IIRC.

ive seen europeans git hostile about what a filthy horrible pig i am for wearin my shoes in the house

whatre they lickin theys floors over there?

We're full time barefoot in our home.

It's normal, but I wear flip flops or shoes all the time, unless I'm in bed.

Unless I am in bed, I always have at least slippers. the fuzzy cute kind.

It is just no matter how much one tries to keep the floor clean. it will gather dust, doggy fur, whatever.

I just wear socks or slippers inside, sometimes both.

You know, those cosy femninant ones.

Coincidentally, there's also a slipper thief in the house, at least according to my girlfriend.

My house is like this. I live in a very hot climate so shoes just means sandals/flip flops anyway.

What's the point of wearing shoes in the house? I don't object to it if people want to in their own house but I can't see any particular benefits to it.

I've seen plenty of households do this except most of their kids are also barefoot outside in the winter. It's pretty common here, so I guess it's normal.
