Come into my house with shoes on and you'll be lucky to leave alive
Yeah I converted to shoes off. It just keeps the floor cleaner and you're more comfortable in the home

Coming from shoes off culture I'm considering giving shoes on a shot. But I still don't quite understand how it's supposed to work. I assume you're not that savage to get in bends in shoes, so are you supposed to keep them near the bed? And lace them every morning when you get up? Or use simpler footwear that doesn't require lacing like crocs or something? Isn't that then technically wearing slippers outside rather than wearing shoes inside?
It fascinates me that people care this much.
Shoes off, eh.
you should keep your shoes on in my home if you want to keep your socks clean
For me it’s like the saying touching grass
I'm an American and you take your shoes off at the door, bub.
Shoes off, you filthy animal
We were shoes on when I was growing up, but I am very staunchly shoes off as an adult.
I feel weird when I visit someone and they have me keep my shoes on.
Same. Absolutely shoes off now, despite growing up in a shoes on house.
I have inside shoes and slippers/sandals for home and inside exercise use. Outside shoes and boots are for outside only, and come off in the mud room. I live in the rurals and I do not want that mess 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.
The US one should be stripped, it varies state to state
The US is a nation of immigrants, so it depends on the host's culture of origin. So it varies from house to house.
Striped, yeah
I prefer the other spelling
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.

France is a shoes off country. However during winter we have indoor slippers
As all the sane people do.
Yeah lol especially in some country like Italy where the floor is marble
Except for Pompeii
This is so incorrect it's funny. Shoes on in UK? When everyone has fucking carpets?
What does this comment even mean?
I was so outraged, I typed off.
You walk with shoes on carpets??
They got it wrong in the message — uk is shoes off on the map (and no one wears shoes inside!)
The only thing this map tells me is "Fuck the Colorblind"
What a shit map
Living in Ohio (midwest U.S) its not entirely a yes or no and more of a "it depends". Ive noticed older people assume shoes on but anyone under 40 will either ask or assume shoes off at the door. Theres also a layer of midwest nice to the whole exchange of not wanting to inconvenience the other person, so you get situations where a party will start with everyone wearing shoes, but end with everyone shoeless.
Got dogs , humans take shoes off but irrelevant compared to dirt dogs track in

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?
