Slippers don't count as shoes.

Only barbarians wear shoes in their own homes.

Shit, even wearing shoes in an office job can be kinda sus.

I work in a cubical, and I take my shoes off before putting my feet under the desk. If it was more accepted I'd take them off outside my cube, but, I live in a country that likes shoes on.

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.

40% of the world weard shoes INSIDE??!

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

[–] cheesybuddha@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

No, this map is reductive at best. Mostly it's just complete bullshit though.

You can actually just color in a map any way you want and claim the colors mean things, and odds are there are people out there that will believe you.

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.

[–] DriftingLynx@lemmy.ca 32 points 3 days ago

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

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 23 points 2 days ago

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

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 5 points 2 days ago

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.

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?

[–] Armand1@lemmy.world 39 points 3 days ago

I've seen both in the UK. Personally, I'm a shoes off guy. Means less cleaning needed.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 32 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

For me, in Italy it's both, in 90% of the cases the situation is like:

You get in, remove the shoes and go barefoot/with slippers, if it's like a party, festivity etc etc, usually no one cares to get off the shoes

There's obviously no need for durable footwear when your whole country is a boot.

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

I'm weirdly conflict conflicted, I mean we are on the map, but it is incorrect.

But most kiwis are shoes off in the house.

Be glad you're on the map for once

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

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

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago

The US is a nation of immigrants, so it depends on the host's culture of origin. So it varies from house to house.

[–] Monster96@lemmy.world 40 points 3 days ago (6 children)

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

[–] Mohamed@lemmy.ca 36 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Rookie mistake. You sleep with your shoes on.

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

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

We wear shoes/slippers in the house. For 2 reasons

I have never been able to teach any of the dogs I've had to take their shoes off when they come in the house. So the floor is getting dirty anyway even as we speak. Sweeping and vacuuming happens more than once a week.

When you live in a place where the temperatures are below freezing for 6 months out of the year, your house cold soaks. So the floor is most likely going to feel uncomfortably cooler than people who live in a more temperate climate experience. And it doesn't matter how well insulated or sealed your house is, it will cold soak. Slippers/shoes for the win.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago (4 children)

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.

I switch to slippers when inside.

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