    I would find it incredibly rude if people came over to my house and kept their shoes on, part of an "ensemble" or not. that's some pretentious sex and the city shit right there. I've never seen one example of that, like, ever, in my adult life. when teens would have a big shaker, of course you leave your shoes on or you risk them being stolen or tossed in the toilet. 

    I see old people do it, but that's for support, and they have separate pairs for indoors so they don't make a mess. 

    jesus, we walk into someone's cottage and you'd get looked at weird if you left your shoes on.

    There's that teenage angst-y disdain again.

    That has no relevance to what I just said...Why are you hung up on shoes?  But if shoe wearing is your measure, Norway is definitely way ahead of Sweden!  If given the choice to visit one of the two, I would choose Norway.  Fuck your fika social lube, just go talk to people and be friendly in public...oh wait, that’s taboo in Sweden...such antisocial weirdness...

    Because the context of this threads discussion is for the moment different shoe-wearing cultures. Get a grip on how social situations work and how to act within them Cruzie. :) 

    And yes, I bet Norway does a lot better than Sweden. Where is the conflict in that?

    So you must agree that Norway is better than Sweden since they push taking shoes off more.  I don’t have to worry too much about awkward social situations here, as people in general are pleasant with each other and enjoy socializing out in public.  I couldn’t handle the Swede’s social awkwardness...just sounds snobby.  Sip that with your socially awkward  fika bros!

    You're creating some false narrative here to back me into a corner. What has "pushing harder" to do with anything. 

    I would think - in the context of shoewearing - that Norway is similar to Sweden -- "it is absurd to wear your outdoor shoes inside your house". 

    And seems all sane people in this thread agree. Regardless of where they're from.

    False narrative?  Nothing false about Norway being the better country overall...especially in the shoe wearing contex...Tell me again, what culture is it weird or outside of the cultural norm to take shoes off indoors?  Seems that YOU are the one creating a false narrative...pretty “pedi” if you ask me, lol. (Pedi/ petty if you didn’t get the joke). I take my shoes off indoors, but personally, I’d rather have a shoe wearer in my house than a snobby Swede with an inferiority
    complex, but that is just me...

    Exactly, so do many I know in this not greatest country in the world, but it wouldn’t bug me either way if someone did...unless they had dog shit on their shoes or something.  It would probably be best if some people left their shoes on, though.  There are some nasty footed people out there and I would rather a place not smell like unhygienic feet, lol

    it would bug me. I find it rude. it's not snobby at all. it's just rude to walk into someone's house and leave your shoes on.

    and I don't understand why people keep saying he has an inferiority complex. if anything, it's the opposite (which I also don't believe).

    Oh, so he is wrong then.  I’m sure most any American would respect a Swede native’s cultural household rule of taking shoes off, just like we accept many other different cultural norms that people bring with them in this extremely culturally diverse nation.  Would Swedes be so accepting of other cultures bringing in their own standards of “couth”?  From what I’ve seen, probably not.  They would just get looked at with disdain and judgement if I understand Swede antisocial behavior correctly.

    You find it rude, but as others have stated, it is household  by household.  I’ll agree to disagree with the last paragraph , but thanks for the laugh!
