Wearing Shoes In The House?
I have a question that occures in our daily life often: Should we wear our shoes in the house or not? And what’s the reason? Here are some thoughs that I know.
Canadians always remove their shoes
It seems that this is a north-south issues. In artic nations (like Canada) it is expected that you will remove your outdoor shoes when you go to someone’s house. Some people will bring indoor shoes with them as part of their outfit. You are obviously not going to wear snow and salt covered boots and shoes in someones home! In any case, because of this the culture is to remove your shoes year round. I do remember as a kid my grandparents telling me to keep my ugg boots on but they grew up in the USA. I always thought they were nuts! Must be hard for Americans in the northern states if the culture is to keep them on.

Keep Shoes On
I keep shoes on, because they keep my feet warm, and I don’t want to smell dirty feet (which is caused by bacteria, which your socks have too). The only time I will not wear shoes is when they get dirty from rain or snow. Then I take them off. But no, I think it is gross to have dirty, sweaty, smelly feet on my carpet.

No shoes, but what if …
I grew up in Bulgaria, but ten years now I live in Greece, my father is Bulgarian, my mum is Greek … In Bulgaria you cannot even think about passing your friend’s door with your shoes on … and yes, it’s a rule. If you don’t take off your shoes, it means that you have no manners and don’t respect your friend and his/her home. Here in Greece the things are totally different — almost nobody takes their shoes off. It’s an insult if you ask them to do so. When I first came, I didn’t know it and I asked visitors to take their shoes off, most of them didn’t do anything, and some didn’t come at my home ever again. Yes, I have a rule in my home, and they must show some respect I think. Especially now when we have a little baby! Wearing shoes at home is so unhealthy, why some people don’t understand it?

Wear my shoes
My husband grew up in a house with no shoes on; I grew up with just the opposite. In our own home, I *try* to wear my indoor sandals out of respect for him, but if I wear my tennis shoes, he doesn’t freak out about it. I do remove my shoes when coming into the house where there is inclement weather. I want to respect people’s clean homes, but I wish they would think about their guests’ comfort a little as well. If you don’t want me wearing shoes in your house, then please let me know beforehand so I can bring my indoor sandals. I like something between my feet and the floor and like having a little support under my feet. The ironic thing is that of all these people I know who don’t want shoes on their floors–they all have cats. Who walk barefoot through their own excrement. And their owners don’t seem to mind that. Hmmm…

Take Them Off
I live with my partner and when his family come over they never take off their shoes, and I do not like to tell people that they need to remove their shoes, they should already know it’s what you do when entering someone’s home. I don’t know when it became ok to wear your shoes in your home. Carpet or no carpet, take your damn shoes off. PLEASE! : )
