Why Do People Wear Shoes In Their Home?

Well, I'm from Canada, and everyone I know from here takes their shoes off when they walk in the door. When I went to the States, though, the one house I went in too, I got a weird look for taking my shoes off. I feel odd walking through a house wearing shoes.

I take my shoes of the second I get in my house. Shoes=dirty

I do believe shoes are dirty. And nobody wants their home to be dirty. Right?

No I would never do and it suprising me every time I see someone do it.

Walking around in socks just feels weird, and I can sense them getting dirty. Shoes are much more comfortable anyway. I only take them off to bed, or if they're wet and/or muddy I'll let them dry out I guess.gazoz

Besides saving wear and tear on both your shoes and carpet your feet will feel so much better and smell so much nicer when they are released from the unnatural prison of being contained in footwear all day long.

I feel the same way about trousers and the rest of clothing which is why I go without at home and when I lived in the country ......

and I was sad then the local clothing optional beach was closed.

I wear home shoes. I find lack of footwear somewhat dirty. I can't stand seeing someone with dirty socks, so I wear socks and shoes at all times.

Why do people capitalize every word in their thread title?....

*Ahem* I take my shoes on carpets. On hard floors though, it's a toss up with wearing shoes or socks...

I don't wear shoes or socks while at home. Never understood the fascination with footwear. Bareness is infinitely more comforting.

ive got flat foot and walking around with only socks on hurts parts of my feet, so i wear shoes:D

currently in the process of fixing my flat feet. ive stoppped wearing shoes with no arch support.

Because my feet stank!

I always wear socks in my own home, on account of the bare human foot being a thing of surpassing ugliness. I always wear shoes in other people's homes on account of being a sociopath :)
