Here, every household entrance has dedicated clearly indicated space for leaving your shoes, coat and other outside stuff. Walking into somebody's home with shoes on is considered very rude, unless you're just fetching something and even then you'd make sure to get permission first or excuse yourself loudly and ashamedly while tip-toeing xD Most don't have carpet floors, but we just don't like wearing shoes indoors anyways. Slippers are for fun or for really cold winter days I guess, but most just wear socks. Unless it's summer, where it's common to go barefoot!

Interestingly, if you live on the countryside, from my experience it's ok to walk barefoot outdoors and then walk straight in. Even though this technically is similar to walking in with shoes on?? d:

In our household it is quite common for shoes to be left in the front foyer area or in the closet by said area.

Occasionally if we want to go out the back door (or garage door) and our shoes are clean from mud, dirt etc. We would wear them from the front entrance to the door we need to access. If they were we would either exit the front and walk around, or carry our shoes to said door and put them on there.

As a side note at my old house because the landlord did not take care of the floors (Scratched, warped, splinters etc.) we wore our shoes in the front foyer, living room and kitchen area. The hallway to the bath and bedrooms were carpet so no shoes past that point.

Maybe it's an Aus thing but I'd find it stranger to have you insist on me removing my shoes than to let me keep them on.

I can't stand being barefoot. I need shoes all the time.

I don't mind as long as people have something on their feet! I used to keep multiple pairs of those fluffy-material socks for guests to use. If I think someone's feet are cold, my feet will be cold just by looking at them. Nothing worse than cold feet!

I've never had a house of my own so I don't really have an opinion. I think in the future if I rent an apartment or have a house I might take my shoes off at the entrance to prevent dirtying the floor, although I'm not sure how much more sanitary it really is.

Take them off or you mop my floor.
No one wants dirt trekked through their house.

I can not walk barefoot, I have to be in either shoes or slippers, so we can't have that kind of policy here, and I wouldn't do that to other people that have foot problems like me.

Pfft. I never wear shoes OR socks in the house. I prefer being barefoot. I'm not sure why, but my feet start to feel uncomfortable and constricted when wearing them. If I had my way, I'd go barefoot everywhere. <3

With that said, I don't actually because my dad needs to wear them due to having nueropathy (SP?), so it's not really an option for him to walk barefoot. That's why we don't really enforce such a rule. He has to wear special diabetic shoes with a lift on one side... I guess because one leg is shorter than the other? idk.

People that enforce the rule: What would you do if someone came into your house, maybe like my dad, and had to wear shoes? :O Just curious.
