Shoes on is just gross and disgusting.

How is it ok to lie on a white coach with your muddy shoes is completely beyond me.

This chart is a hate crime against colorblind people.

Japan is a shoes-off country, but they often have slippers that they wear indoors. They just change their shoes like Mr. Rogers, but with less singing.

Pakistan as shoes on? That seems wrong.

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Boomer from Hamilton , Ontario, Canada, and growing up it was probably 70% shoes ON in my parts...lots of kids, in and out constantly. Obviously, snow and mud were exceptions. The 30% shoes OFF homes were the outliers...

It wasn't until my late teens that I started to notice a shift, personally and societally, to shoes OFF.

Nowadays, even if the host *insists* that I keep my shoes ON, it doesn't feel right, so I tend not to.

In The Netherlands, within my social circles, it's mostly seen as overly informal and quite intimate to take off your shoes.

You can do it at friends, but certainly not by default at acquaintances (unless they ask), as it might even be a little disrespectful considering taking off your shoes could smell a bit after some hours. Like you force your bodily odours or sweaty feet on to someone's house.

I totally get the opposite and am noticing a slow shift (also in my own house) to dropping the shoes. But it's interesting to see that both stances are based on some form of respect, and perhaps also some pragmatism on our side.

I would rather someone bring sweaty socks in to my house than dirt, microplastics, gum and literal shit on the bottom of their shoes.

We went from a shoes on / dont care to a shoes off / dont you fucking dare household when we had a kid and the difference is unfathomable.

It actually repulses me that I can walk around in houses people consider clean, with bare feet, and my soles turn black. Not to mention then dragging that in to bed with you.

Where I live it's very rare and unusual to be asked to remove your shoes when going into someone's house. Normally you just brush your shoes on the front door mat and enter.

Where I live it is also unusual to be asked to take your shoes off because it's just expected that you will since it's disrespectful to just walk inside with your shoes on.

It's more usual to be told to keep your shoes on if it's something like a contractor coming inside to do some work.

Sometimes my feet can be really smelly. I hate it when I go to someone's house where they expect me to pull my shoes off. Yes, odor eater powder helps, but I never know if removing my shoes is going to knock them out. Especially in the summer. It is better to just never go to other people's houses.

UK shoes on? Not a chance! I've never met a person who is a shoes on person. Unless you count indoor slippers as shoes...

Shoes off is both nicer and keeps the house cleaner. My family has always been on this side of things, except the folk in the Midwest, so I don’t care if this gets me on a list somewhere. What? Are gonna send ice to deport me?

We have shoes, flipflops, and crocs piled inside the front door. If that doesn't give you a clue...

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I do not understand shoes on in the house. Like when youre sitting on the couch? Shoes on? Why? Also doesn’t your shit get all dirty?

[–] cheeseburger@piefed.ca 7 points 2 months ago

Yeah it baffles me, even in the summer the vile shit I have to walk on downtown, or on the LRT, then to bring that into my house? 🤢

Midwest EU when visiting someone’s house.

X: you guys take your shoes off in the house?

Y: yeah but it’s ok, I’m cleaning later on anyway.

Or

Y: Yes please, I just cleaned.

[–] snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

UK is generally shoes off from everything I've seen but ok then

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

France should be "shoes off". Never seen a French person who kept their shoes on in the house.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 5 points 2 months ago

Shoes on at home

Shoes off on the street or in the shops

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

It's always baffled me that people are comfortable with shoes on inside.
