Do you wear shoes in the house?

Growing up, we never wore shoes. DH and I don't either and my friends take their shoes off when they come in knowing that I hate shoes in the house.

The ILs, however, hardly ever take their shoes off. It is so annoying. I hate all the sand and wetness from the leftover snow getting all over my newly renovated house and my new rug in the den.

I've asked DH to say something but he never does- usually he forgets.



ETA- They never use coasters on my wooden coffee table even though they are sitting right there!! At least DH is better about putting them under their glasses. You'd think they'd get the hint.

Re: Do you wear shoes in the house?

dh and i kick off our shoes and put on our slippers. at least our feet are warm, but as i've gotten older, the idea of wearing shoes in public bathrooms and then our home kind of grosses me out. plus, when we have a baby and he/she starts crawling, i don't want our baby touching the carpet that our shoes have touched after stepping on g-d knows what! have a basket by the front door with some cheap slippers and ask them to put those on.

Re: Do you wear shoes in the house?

Nope, we take them off right by the door and they stay on a little carpeted area rug.

Re: Do you wear shoes in the house?

We always take ours off at the door. Our friends and family know we don't like shoes in the house. If they don't take them off, I don't ask them to. Most do though. There are the select few that don't. Oh well.

Re: Do you wear shoes in the house?

When I was growing up, the rule was no shoes in the house. They were put in a shoe rack by the door. I always thought it was a pain, until I moved into my own apartment and had to clean the floor myself. Keeping the shoes off really helps reduce the dirt I track in from outside.

DH & I take our shoes off at the door and put them on a little rug. Most people are great about taking their shoes off. My mother is the only one that ignores my requests. Dad has no problem with it.

Re: Do you wear shoes in the house?

Yes ... and I think it's kinda funny I'm the only one who said yes!

Re: Do you wear shoes in the house?

I wear shoes...and personally i can't stand it when i go to someones house and the TELL me to take mine off. Rugs are for walking on..with or without shoes! And vacumns are for cleaning up any dirt lol But whatever floats your boat lol

Re: Do you wear shoes in the house?

DH and I only take our shoes off immediately when we walk in if they are wet or snowy or muddy or something like that. We both mostly wear flip flop or slippers around the house unless we have company.. I would never expect someone to take their shoes off in my home. I can't imagine ever telling someone to take their shoes off or someone asking me to take mine off in their home. I kind of agree with robinella - to me a house is to be lived in and dirty floors happen....

I hate hate hate it when someone asks me to take my shoes off and I am not wearing socks. I feel soooo exposed, I have nice feet, I just hate walking around someones house totally barefoot, I wish they would at least offer me socks.

Re: Do you wear shoes in the house?

I always take mine off at home and so does FH. Sometimes I take them off at other peoples houses too especially if they are wet and snowy. I think it is soo rude when people track snow and mud through my house. (and on my white rugs )

Re: Do you wear shoes in the house?

In the winter, definitely take them off as soon as we come in. In the summer when I wear flip-flops or sandals I usually don't take them off unless I'm in for good, but that thought about the public restroom just grossed me out and I will think differently now

If it's raining or snowing I will take them off at other people's homes too whether asked to or not.
