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 should invite a Swede over, and make them keep their shoes on...see if they get uncomfortable.
Nobody cares what Sweden does, especially with their shoes
Norway is better than Sweden...just sayin’. And fuck that fika, I’ll take my coffee to go!
"Norwegians are so adamant about their “no shoes inside” policy, they even enforce it at primary schools—so that children learn it from a young age. "
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!
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.
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). 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...
again, I, nor anyone I know, ever wears shoes indoors, unless it's a separate pair specifically for that purpose.
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).
You find it rude, but as others have stated, it is household by household. I’ll agree to disagree with the last part, but thanks for the laugh!
I think one person stated it is household by household. I have never been to any canadian's house where people leave their shoes on. NOT. ONE.

i don't have to ask. it is just done. I've never had to ask one single adult ever to do it. and if someone brings their kid over and they forget, the parent tells them to take their shoes off.

Wearing shoes indoors at a party should always be at the discretion of the host. But if you are like me and need shoes indoors, bring your indoor pair with you, I do. No one minds, as long as you discuss with host and they are fine with it...

So if you had people over for a get together you'd asked them to take their shoes off?
i don't have to ask. it is just done. I've never had to ask one single adult ever to do it. and if someone brings their kid over and they forget, the parent tells them to take their shoes off.
it is customary for a party to have a big pile of shoes by the back door that you have to wade through as you leave. LOL
That’s nasty as hell. I can’t imagine a bunch of barefoot people walking around at a party.
they aren't barefoot. people wear socks in canada.
Hey baby, nice socks. lol I can honestly say I have never been to a party where I had to take off my shoes. Imagine if you had a hole in your sock! Hell Americans even wear their shoes in the pool!
Nobody cares what Sweden does, especially with their shoes
Norway is better than Sweden...just sayin’. And fuck that fika, I’ll take my coffee to go!
"Norwegians are so adamant about their “no shoes inside” policy, they even enforce it at primary schools—so that children learn it from a young age. "
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!
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.
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). 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...
again, I, nor anyone I know, ever wears shoes indoors, unless it's a separate pair specifically for that purpose.
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).
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!
so this is how it works?

You comes off as someone who's been left by Axl Rose on the bed with your ass in the air.
What??? Bwahahahaha
Tells me i'm right
Do you know three people of color on a first name basis? How about one? Lol
Yes. I even helped out one just now with Powerpoint. A woman @mcgruff10 - me and her all alone in an office, sure hoped she called her boyfriend/husband before to see that it was okey. No chaperones used when men and women interact in Sweden. Crazy.

oh, haha, I thought you meant actual shoes. yes, we have shoes people (mostly kids) wear at the beach and in the water.
What exactly is this "rudeness" of leaving your shoes on? How exactly does that insult the homeowner or what about it makes the homeowner feel offended other than "it's just what you do?" This is another one of those trivial, old-timey, customary tradition things that, when you really think about it, probably had a meaning centuries ago but makes no sense in modern times. Like taking your hat off indoors. Who the fuck is bothered by leaving a hat on?
I mean, obviously, if you have mud, snow, poop, or paint etc on your shoes, you don't want to track it all through the place. I get that. But if it's a clear, dry day or you're only stopping by for a few minutes what does it really matter? And obviously, if the homeowner asks, I'm not going to defy them. Honestly, I usually ask anyway because I know people do take offense to it. But it's just weird to me to say that it's rude without even really thinking about why it's rude, other than "that's what I was taught" etc.
Me, personally, I couldn't care less if you leave them on in my house.
