Shoes?

[Zovesta]

I know this is sort of a strange topic, but it's been bothering me. Do you wear your shoes inside your house as well, or only outside? How come? Do you have a special inside-shoes pair and a special outside-shoes pair?

[SilvorMoon]

The first thing I do when I get home is to kick off my shoes. I'm just more comfortable without them. Part of this is because I tend to twist myself into odd contortions when I sit and shoes get in the way.

[Ruins]

I live in a University Halls of Residence, so I only take my shoes off in my room- technically I can be 'home' all day and not take off my shoes. Mainly because the kitchen floor is covered in dirt, spilled food and sticky dried alchohol- the same with the hallways, mostly. You NEED shoes in places like that.

[rainbowsmile]

I always said once I got my own place that I wouldn't wear my shoes inside, because you track dirt and all kinds of nasty stuff from outside inside. Of course I didn't go through with it... I wish I had though, I bet my carpet would be a lot cleaner!

[OceanSecrets]

When I was living with my parents I never wore my shoes inside, simply because I don't like having restricting things like shoes on my feet. (I go barefoot at every opportunity.)

Now that I'm living in a dorm and the floor is disgusting from all the college students who have lived hear all these years and done who knows what to the floor I have a pair of shoes I wear all the time indoors. Just a pair of crocs, (or rather some off-brand imitation) to separate my feet from the floor. But I look forward to the day when I can again go barefoot.

Pretty much this. I also hate the feeling of having them on for too long, it's just uncomfortable.

[Zovesta]

Funny to see these results, I always assumed people wore them inside because of that American stereotype. X) I don't wear them inside. In winter my parents force me to wear slippers, but that's the most I can stand. Though, really, wearing my shoes around only outside is done more out of cleanliness than comfort. I live in the country, so if I walk around inside with my shoes on, I'd be tracking around mud from the pig pen and dog crap.

Yes, I do.

I hate wearing shoes inside, and take mine off as soon as I come in. Otherwise I feel like the carpet is getting dirty, plus I am just more comfortable with them off.

I remember the dorms. Always dirty. I never went without shoes in the dorms. Ick! Trust me, it gets better when you move into an apartment. Real carpet on your feet

 

My level of barefooted-ness varies depending on the season. I never wear shoes in the summer. I'll wear boots for hiking and chacos when I have to wear shoes (they're the closest I've found to going barefoot). But in the winter I am rarely barefoot. Having shoes on your feet conserves heat, and when my mother keeps the house around 68F and as low as 60F at night, I need all the heat I can get. I always have slippers on. I will wear my shoes around the house after I come in, but I try not to go upstairs with them on.

I wear shoes outside; it's practically a rule of ettiquette in our house to leave our outdoor shoes lined up beside the exit. And if we didn't, mummy woulda spanked us senseless. Tee hee. :3

 

But that doesn't mean I go barefoot at all. Indoors, I either wear slippers or socks, and since it's turned cold in my area, I'm wearing those thick and padded boot-like socks (what were those thingamajigs called again? ).

Shoes are for outside, slippers are for inside.

[Nectaris]

I usually take off my shoes when I am inside. Sometimes in the winter though, I will keep them on for a while to keep my feet warm, as we have very little carpet in the house(both for looks and for allergy reasons).

I don't wear my shoes inside.I somehow manage to always step in something gross . I don't usually go barefoot. I always wear socks. I only wear the ankle ones , though. I can't stand wearing huge puffy socks.

[AngelKitty]

I wear shoes all the time, inside and outside. I hate being barefoot.

[earthgirl]

I have indoor shoes, aka slippers that I wear inside all the time and outdoor shoes that I don't wear inside unless they are new and clean.

[spyro76]

I wear them when I want and where I want. I've gone outside without them, including during the winter complete with snow, but at the same time I sometimes have to wear them inside cause I screwed up my feet with several injuries.

[PlutoIsHades]

Never inside. And I prefer being barefoot outside too, but my parents are relatively strict about that. Occasionally, I'll manage to go outside barefoot without Mom or Dad realizing.

[rubyshoes]

Nope. I never wear shoes inside. I do wear socks though when it is cold.

[dragon_mando]

There needs to be an "I avoid shoes period" option

 

I don't wear them at all unless I know it'll be really cold, really hot, or if there's broken glass--even then, once I've scouted the area for danger, the shoes come off fast.

[Kursedfire]

hm... Slippers inside. Shoes outside

[SPQR]

Usually only outside.

 

Except for parties and when I'm feeling lazy and hang out in my bathrobe and PJs.

[Switch]

I never wear shoes if I can help it, let alone inside my house. I prefer just wearing socks, but I have a habit of losing every pair of socks I own. :|

[SPQR]

Socks... I don't like them on their own. I usually go barefoot at home.

[Leidarendi]

No shoes in my house. I wear either poochies or socks.
