As a kid my family always took our shoes off before entering the house. We also took our shoes off when we were visiting anyone else's home. I do this now. So I ask...shoes on or shoes off?

    It is weird to have your shoes on in the house. No offense, conman. :P

    This made me smile, it reminds me of my uncle who passed in february. He would have his shoes on in his own house all day when I would stop by. It was like, where are you going? Relax. Just funny. I guess you never know when you might have to bolt out the back door.

    We always had to take off our shoes in my house growing up as well, but I attribute that to my mom being a clean freak and she'd shit if we tracked in dirt on the carpet. I still take off my shoe's at my mom's but dont necessarily at other people's house. Well, most of the time I do because I wear flip flops and it's not a hassle.

    Shoes OFF!
    The only time I wear shoes is to work, otherwise I live in flip flops and bare feet. That said, I neither wear shoes or flops inside my place. Keeps the place and the carpet clean....and afterall....who wants to wear shoes when they don't have to?!?!?! :?


    If I have people over, I don't expect them to take them off, but I think the least they can do is ask.

    As a 38 year old adult I still feel awkward wearing shoes inside a home. :-?

    No shoes!

    Who needs shoes anyway?

    Can't stand wearing them..or even socks. The best I can manages is flip flops and if it really really gets cold...then clogs, so i can kick them off as soon as possible.

    but the house thing, i think its just polite to remove your shoes as you enter someone else's house...well, unless you have a good reason not too ;) bring a "house" pair of flip flops with you (keep in your car, I do) wherever you go, then you're prepared for all occasions :D

    Honestly, unless you're walking into a crack house or something, why would you want to wear shoes in the comfort of someone's home?

    Granted, there are exceptions, like if you're moving furniture or something.
