Do you wear shoes inside?

[cacopony]

I don't even wear shoes when going out of my house haha
Where I live it's rude to remove your shoes in someone's house unless they let you or you ask if you can, but it depends on the people around you at the moment. In my house I hate wearing shoes because my feet are almost always very hot, so I only wear them when I'm too tired to take them off, and when I have to check something out of the house I just go without if I wasn't wearing any haha

At my home Im usualy shoesless, but If I go to somebody house I usually keep them. There is not common take the shoes of in your friends house, only if you are like "really best friends"

Exactly that! People Usually see one as "what are you doing..." 

But sometimes when My friends come into my room I ask them to take their shoes of since I have a cute little Tiger carpet and I dont want it to get dirty

Shoes always come off in the house! Even in public school, we had indoor and outdoor shoes. Outdoor shoes came off in the cloakroom and were replaced with indoor shoes. Dunno, the thought of wearing shoes in my house is just... yuck. Gives me the squicks. Only time I will wear shoes is if I need to make a quick grab of something, and usually it's only if it's right by the door.

when you are at home or in someone elses house, the shoes come off.

When you are inside of another building, unless stated otherwise, the shoes stay on.

Wow, I didn't know it was such a widely spread thing, let alone that it's considererd rude not to remove your shoes when you're at someone else's house. O___O

Inside my own home I take my shoes off, yes, but that's just because I can get more comfortable that way. I will never ever ever ask someone to remove their shoes when they come to my house, for me that would feel like I ask them to sit in their underwear. 

I have no idea if that's a Dutch thing or not, I do remember houses where I had to take my shoes off. But those were exceptions, thank God.

I wear them in my home, but I will take them off at someone else's house even if they are wearing theirs around, seems to be the polite thing to do just in case (well, only if I'm walking on carpet I guess, if I'm just in the kitchen or something with hard floors and not going further, I'll keep them on). Some Americans don't like them in the house so I just take them off.

[The Little White Horse]

I don't wear shoes in my house. Nor at any of my family's houses.

I find it disrespectful and rude.

When people come to my house, they know that they have to take their shoes off and no one has ever complained.

I guess it's each to their own.

[Leave a Whisper]

Sometimes.

I've never worn my shoes in the house. Maybe briefly if I was making multiple trips to load a car and didn't want to take my shoes off every time.
For me and my family its a sanitary thing. There is less dirt in the house to clean later. And living in a city I walk in some dirty places, like lots of homeless areas, and it would just be downright dirty to have all of that on our floors.

When I go to someone's house I always ask if I should leave my shoes on or off to be polite.

I do not wear my shoes in my house -- I take them off at the door. Every jerk who comes to visit me, however, always keeps their shoes on. Grr. Especially maintenance guys -- they always wear their muddy boots in my house when they come to fix stuff and I get so mad! I usually vacuum right after someone like that has been here.

Now, I do have dogs and they don't wear shoes, though, so they do track dirt in the house. I usually vacuum a lot, anyway, though, because there's shedded hair all over the floor (not from the dogs -- from me! I only half joke...).

It's only rude in the US if it is obvious that shoes aren't worn in the house or if you have foot odor/fungus. (Ew) I don't wear shoes in the house and neither do my guests unless it is under five minutes. The shoes do track in dirt, lead, oil, and everything else you can find on the ground. They destroy carpets and make hardwoods gummy. I take my shoes off at houses that are obviously used to taking off shoes. I, however, have a rather severe mental issue with dirty feet. I refuse to go into a dirty house if they want shoes off and most of the people I know don't care about shoes inside.

[Loa]

In NZ, its common to not wear shoes outside.
I prefer to be shoeless as often as possible.

Where I grew up, going outside without shoes was likely to kill you. Scorpions and snakes. Also, ever been stepped on by a horse while barefoot?  up here it's just so wet that parasites are common. Plus people who don't care for their outside cats.  I have always gone shoeless if possible. Free the toes!

I wear house shoes inside the house...which are flip flops basically. I can't stand not wearing something to protect my feet and socks from getting dirty. Heck I even stepped on a sewing needle which stabbed my BAREFOOT  , which is another reason I wear house shoes inside the house. Plus I don't like having floor debris catching onto my socks and getting carried into my bed

I change socks or wash my feet right before bed.
