I wear mine in the house because I have a collapsed arch on one foot, and both my knees are completely shot. Shoes keep the feet lighed up, and I don't sublux my kneecap nearly as often.

My dad does this. He thinks the whole point of wood flooring is that you can wear your shoes inside. He just doesn't like taking his shoes off, no deeper reason to find and he can't really see the gross shit he's tracking in so it may as well not exist.

You tryin' to tell me what to do in my own home? Pssh.

[-] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

pair of slippers and flip-flops that stay indoors, just for indoors. I just hate getting bits of whatever stuck to my socks/feet in between sweeping sessions. Though after a good sweep, I will do a stride of pride sans socks/shoes, just to feel how clean the floor is

I cannot, for the life of me, imagine wearing outside shoes in the house. I live quite close to a major US city, in what Iā€™d describe as a semi urban dense suburb. There is rabbit shit on every square inch of green space.

Why do people go barefoot in public

Why do people wear shoes in the office

Why dont3 I ask women if they're pregnant

Because arbitrary customs that exist which might have a good reason behind them but largely have become things that are considered polite or rude, both of which are societal concepts which themselves are worthy of questioning

  1. Because they've given up on life.

  2. Because everyone else wear shoes in the office. That being said. I don't wear shoes in my office. Because no one does. (It's also a small office)

  3. I don't know why YOU don't. I don't Because it's none of my business and the risk of being wrong heavily outweights the reward of being right.

It's not arbitrary. If you start wearing shoes inside the floor will get dirtier. And now I can't not wear them because I will get dirt all over my socks from the dirt the shoe wearer tracked inside.

Office workers might have to move around and walk a lot. Shoes help with that. It's the exact reason we invented them in the first place.

Just because you don't know, doesnt mean it's arbitrary

I have to wear orthotics in my shoes. I can't wear them without shoes. One day without shoes had led to months of pain.

Where I live it's very unnatural. Definitely because of the weather (lots of snow, long winters).

Sick of stepping on crap on the floor. Kids are messy. Also my feet get cold. And socks wear out too fast.

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

A lot of people half-ass the transition from outside to in and would step with a socked/bare foot right where they just walked with shoes. Meaning the isolation of in and outside dirt is broken. My roommate, the landlord, does this... I'm not gonna chase him around with sanitizer and a mop so, I see the floor being just as dirty as outside and wear socks and slippers all the time. (They also ignore the idea of cleaning or maintaining their house. But that's another issue and a reason I'm looking for me for a 1br)

Because we have dogs, cats, surprises and cold floors.

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

You ever banged you toe on something, and you're also telling me you never thought 'this wouldn't be a problem if I has shoes on'?

Do you ever learn from your mistakes? /s

Because sometimes the dogs bring in goatheads šŸ™ƒ

I keep stubbing my toe and it's easier to go outside

[-] vind@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

In Ireland it's quite common to just wear your shoes indoor - never quite understood it myself.

Gift article from WaPo https://wapo.st/42LfZqM as there's so much debate.

Long story short, you bring tons of literal shit into your home wearing outside shoes inside. But they recommend inside slippers or equivalent for protection of your feet. I realize you can't stop all shit on your floor but goddammit if I won't try. Also, I think it's obvious when carpeted homes allow shoes as the carpet is matted and gross.

[-] shuzuko@midwest.social 7 points 1 year ago

Because I can't get my husband to take his shoes off right when he comes inside after 13 years together, so I've given up and just started wearing shoes inside myself šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

[-] kubica@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Because I had shoes on before arriving home and I don't remember about them until much later.

[-] joel_feila@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Feet smell bad and are gross

the floor is lava

[-] Routhinator@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago

As I get older I find my heels and arches just hurt randomly walking on hard flooring, and carpets get gross. The solution for me is a pair of sketchers I reserve for indoor use.

Because I have multiple doors in my house which lead outside. I normally take my shoes off when I come inside, but sometimes I come in one door and then want to leave via a different door only to realise my shoes are at the other end of the house.

[-] Steve@communick.news 5 points 1 year ago

Why do people ware shoes outside the house?
