Was recently discussing with someone that it's really weird that, on the internet, Britain is repeatedly labelled a "shoes on indoors" society, because nobody we know has shoes on indoors (in their own home). Britain is a wet and muddy country.

Does anyone here do shoes on indoors? Where are you all from?

I have no idea why anyone would want to wear shoes in the house.

It's so constricting and unnecessary. Do y'all not clean your floors? Do you feel like your floors are gross and shouldn't be touching your bare feet?

When you lay on the couch do you need to take your shoes off and then put them back on when you get up to go make a snack in the kitchen?

Makes zero sense to me

Buncha weirdoes ITT. As soon as I get in the door, my house or yours, you can bet I'm stripping down to just my shoes and nothing else.

In what backwards and uncultured shithole do you have shoes on in the house? That's filthy.

what kind of monster wears shoes in the house

Shoes on is fine... if you live in a barn.

I live in America.

If you don't take your shoes off in my house my wife will scatter your dismembered body across the hillside for the animals to feed on.

Do shoes on people immediately put on shoes as soon as they wake up or something? I don't even put on socks!

I'm an American and you take your shoes off at the door, bub.

I am Australian and we are a shoes off household - don't care if you wanna have shoes on in the house but why would you wanna wear shoes in the house?

We barely wear shoes in public let alone in the house - shoes are just foot prisons, barefoot is best

I'm in the US and shoes off inside.

As with most things. If America does it one way, then it's probably the wrong way.

The Netherlands look red but it's definitely a shoes on country. People find me weird for asking them to take off their shoes. Any idea how nasty the roads are? Any idea how easier it is to clean your floors when you don't bring all the nastiness from outside under your shoes? Plus it's much better not to wear shoes in general, for your feet. That's why I wear barefoot shoes outside and nothing inside. Because outside is naaaasty. Otherwise I would be barefoot everywhere.

What does it mean the US is shoes on? In my entire life the only family I know of that did that was a hoarding family with layers of filth on their floor.

I don't wear shoes in my own home. If I'm visiting your home, I'll follow your rules -- but tell me before I head over so I know if I need to wear my good socks.

The only thing this map tells me is "Fuck the Colorblind"

What a shit map

The US one should be stripped, it varies state to state

Map is just bullshit. Wrong for france

Shoes off, you filthy animal

UK is shoes ON. Canada definitely shoes OFF. US is shoes ON, drives me nuts seeing tv show characters hop on the BED with shoes on. 😡😡😡

Guests take precedence. That's my cultural position. Otherwise, I do whatever I want in my home and clean up after as habit, regardless. Sometimes I wear shoes.

It's as if by living in a nordic country I didn't want to bring the dirt and snow inside my home. Curious.

40% of the world weard shoes INSIDE??!

How could anyone feel more comfortable with shoes on than shoes off?

Greetings from Australia; this is wrong. It's likely off or mixed, based on heritage and cultural factors.

I switch to slippers when inside.
What does that count as?

Whoever says Greece is shoes on, I'll spit in their coffee.
