No Stupid Questions

I have to wear orthotics in my shoes. I can't wear them without shoes. One day without shoes had led to months of pain.

My dad does this. He thinks the whole point of wood flooring is that you can wear your shoes inside. He just doesn't like taking his shoes off, no deeper reason to find and he can't really see the gross shit he's tracking in so it may as well not exist.

My cats track litter everywhere and I keep my bike inside (the bike room in my apartment has a major theft issue). So not like I'm making the floor any dirtier by wearing shoes. I sweep once a week and mop usually every other week, more if needed like if a cat has a particularly pukey week. The floor is for dirty things I don't plan on eating off of it.

Because I can't get my husband to take his shoes off right when he comes inside after 13 years together, so I've given up and just started wearing shoes inside myself 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gift article from WaPo https://wapo.st/42LfZqM as there's so much debate.

Long story short, you bring tons of literal shit into your home wearing outside shoes inside. But they recommend inside slippers or equivalent for protection of your feet. I realize you can't stop all shit on your floor but goddammit if I won't try. Also, I think it's obvious when carpeted homes allow shoes as the carpet is matted and gross.

As I get older I find my heels and arches just hurt randomly walking on hard flooring, and carpets get gross. The solution for me is a pair of sketchers I reserve for indoor use.

Because I have multiple doors in my house which lead outside. I normally take my shoes off when I come inside, but sometimes I come in one door and then want to leave via a different door only to realise my shoes are at the other end of the house.

As other have said, they're usually not the same shoes I wear outside.

But generally, for the same reason I wear them outside: to protect my feet. Especially if I'm going in and out a lot, like when doing yardwork or grilling.

Every time this question comes up, I can't tell if it's that homes outside the US are much cleaner or streets are much dirtier.

Because I have a "thing" about having those little floor-crunchies on my feet. Floating flooring is nice, but every little thing lays right on top of it.. So instead of constantly dusting the bottoms of my feet off on my calves, I just throw on some house shoes. Freshly cleaned floors excepted.

For the same reason people wear pants inside the house - it's cold, gets you ready to go out at a moment's notice, etc. - plus shoes add padding. Also... not everyone does, wink:-).

1. Leftover habit from never having bare feet touch the ground from my army days.

2. Kids leave and drop things all over house (Lego bricks).

3. I wear huge clown shoes. No room near the door to leave them.

4. Shoes off to flip-flops on. Feet feel protected.

I just forget to take them off

Having said that in my country it's normal to wear house shoes in the house.

Better to step in cat puke with, my dear.

Well, personally, I have foot problems, so walking barefoot is painful. So I wear flip flops around the house.
