Do people take their shoes off indoors in your country?
>>
>>205791511
Are latinos really like this?
Whites don’t this here
>>
>>205791511
yea, its considered rude to wear shoes inside the house.
>>
>>205791511
>>205791535
why would anyone want to track all the grime under their shoes onto their house floor. streets are nasty yo
>>
>>205791511
we should be orange
>>
Shoes on indoors is goblin behaviour
>>
>>205791511
Taking your shoes off indoors is genuinely a weird thing to do.
>b-but they could have dirt on them
That's what door mats are for, to clean your shoes off before you enter a house
>>
>>205791511
>shoes off considered rude

Imagine the smell
>>
i take my shoes off inside my house or places with family or close friends. when i had my own office i'd also take my shoes off.

if i'm at some randos house not taking my shoes off
>>
>>205791572
so you dont wash your hands you just rub them on a towel and call it a day?
>>
>>205791604
I eat with my hands, and touch things with my hands.
Meanwhile, nothing should be touching the floor EXCEPT for your feet in the first place. Are you eating off the floor? Do you really think someone's shoes is going to make a noticeable difference?
>>
>>205791572
this
>>
>>205791622
so your argument is that you can have dirty floor because you arent eating off of it
do you extend this logic to every place you dont eat from?
>>
>>205791511
I don't
>>
>>205791511
>shoes off considered rude
that's not a thing here
shoes on or off absolutely depends on the house. there's no rule for that
>>
Taking off your shoes and exposing your stinky feet/socks is rude behavior
>>
Americans probably don't have carpets in their house, so they're always shoes on
>>
>>205791511
what happens in blue countries?
do they leave their shoes next to their bed?
do they get in the shower with boots?
>>
>>205791511
I've never entered a single house where you kept your shoes on, I have no idea where this meme comes from.
>>
>Wears shoes in your shoe-less home
Fuck Timmy gonna do?
>>
>>205791723
I've only encountered (1) home where they made people take their shoes off before entering.
In fact, I'm wearing my shoes right now.
>>
>>205791713
its actually the opposite
no one has carpets here and if one does have its usually seen as weird copying from America that doesnt fit in in our culture
>>
>>205791723
Think it might be a north vs. south thing? Keeping winter shoes on seems like it'd be especially messy.
>>
>>205791511
It's not rude, it's unacceptable. Unless it's some emergency like calling an ambulance.
>>
>>205791739
shoot your trespassing head nigger

In the United States, whether people wear shoes inside the house depends on personal preference, cultural background, and regional habits. Here are the general tendencies:

Shoes Off

Many Americans, especially those influenced by Asian, European, or Middle Eastern cultures, prefer to remove shoes indoors to keep floors clean and avoid tracking in dirt.

Some households provide slippers for indoor use or encourage guests to wear socks or go barefoot.


Shoes On

In some regions or households, especially in more casual or rural areas, people may keep their shoes on inside, particularly if they are only stopping briefly or if the floors are durable (e.g., tile or hardwood).

This might also be common in homes without a specific "no-shoes" rule.


Guest Practices

When visiting someone's home, it's polite to ask if shoes should be removed. Hosts will often clarify their preference.


It ultimately varies widely by household, so there’s no single "American" standard.

>>205791778
whats really the difference though
like its basically coming to shit your floor thats pretty rude, lol
of course I would get physical if someone did that so yeah its unacceptable as well
>>
Taking your shoes off is only acceptable if there's a storm outside that no rug or carpet will dry it or if the house/apartment/condo is new.

No Pinoy wants to see or smell your feet and the concept of providing guest slippers/footwear is an alien concept.

With immediate family no one cares if you shoes on or off but even with closest friends or strangers you're an asshole if you just take your shoes off without warning.
>>
>>205791885
what about dog poop
streets are hell dirty in your country as well
>>
>>205791772
It's gotta be a rural vs city. All the homes I've been in even have a special cubby on the floor for guest's shoes and even a seat for taking them off. If you live in an apartment it may not matter.
>>
>>205791902
Don't step on dog poo, simple as.

If you did leave your shit outside and tell the host you're sorry.

>streets are hell dirty
Depends on the location, some places are dusty but not dirty and others are true third world shithole streets.

Even in slums they have tons of rugs/carpets outside and inside.
>>
>>205791885
>With immediate family no one cares if you shoes on or off but even with closest friends or strangers you're an asshole if you just take your shoes off without warning.
This is how it is here. It seems extremely rude that someone would just take their shoes off in your home, it just rubs me the wrong way.
Feels similar to someone coming in and then putting their feet up on a table or something, it feels like they're disrespecting your space.
>>
>>205791511
That map is so fucking wrong it’s hilarious.
>>
>>205792012
I can never understand this since shoes by design are keeping your feet clean and shocks are even one extra layer
with shoes you are coming from outside and no amount of rubbing them on a mat will make them clean
for me I dont really give a shit if one is on their socks or their bare feet but some people are strict on this. People arent actually that disgusted by feet realistically, its just some weird thing in their head that depending on context its bad and in some context is not
>>
>>205791723
you know how in English speaking internet its somehow noticeable thing that people take shoes off in Japan? That is precisely because its a not a meme. It wouldnt stick out otherwise if people in English speaking world (America mostly) wouldnt be wearing shoes inside

only thing thats separate really from Nordic country and Japan with this is the fact that the space is lower than the main house all the time, whereas here the space is mostly like max 2m from the door
>>
>>205791684
Your feet wouldn't stink if you didn't keep your shoes on all the time.
>>
>>205791572
>amerimutt logic: Why wash your clothes when you can just rub it off on a door mat?
>>
>>205791747
>>205791545
>mfw jeets are actually cleaner than mutts on something
>>
Usually put your shoes on a rug in the hallway here (or whatever the most common word for the room where you take of your shoes is in English). It always gets gravelly after a while, so would definitely track in dirt otherwise.
>>
>>205792172
But that's the thing, you don't wear your shoes inside in the US. We have carpeted floors.
>>
Leftist households tend to be shoes off here while magatards are shoes on barbarians
>>
Is this a confusion about what 'wearing shoes indoors' means? Because stepping into a house and taking your shoes off whilst stood next to the front door isn't really 'wearing shoes indoors'
>>
>>205792509
Wonder if anyone takes them off outdoors. Is it just a crap map?
>>
>>205791511
I have sweaty feet, if I don't take my shoes off after a certain amount of time they get really nasty. That said I don't really care what guests at my place do with their shoes, take them off, keep them on, whatever is more comfortable.
>>
>>205791622
Yes
There's a noticeable difference in dirtiness with or without shoes.
Without shoes, it's just regular dust. With shoes, it also has sand, dirt, mud, leaves, sticks, stones etc.
And I'm not willing to wash my feet just before jumping into bed so I don't get that filth in my bed, you just take your filthy shoes off.
>>
>>205791511
Latinobros, is this true? If yes, I hate you.
>>
>>205792602
>I don't really care what guests at my place do with their shoes
You should because their shoes will drag bacteria on your floor and they will then get on your feet and cause them to stink.
>>
I imagine the reason shoes on in the house is broadly unacceptable in Canada is due to the issue of tracking snow and ice into the house in the treads of your shoes, and ruining the floors. It's not just the water, but it also brings in both filth and road salt that's suspended in the slush. Really nasty on floors
>>
>>205791885
where the fuck do you live?
all the houses I went to are shoes off
>>
>>205791572
That is what the mud room is for. You leave your muddy shoes to dry so you can break off the dirt outside.
>>
>>205792123
correct, they might have made some online survey and when some country was missing they put the same color than the neighboring countries, we should be blue if not
>>
>>205792681
>>205792743
no is not, at least here, I love my bangladeshi bros
>>
>>205792400
Nah it's more an urban/rural, rich/poor divide. Go to some rich oil or tech bro's house, it's shoes off. Go to a rural CA blue collar farmer's place, it's shoes on typically.
>>
>>205792724
>where the fuck do you live?
Makati.
>>
>>205792758
Thank God. We love you too.

What happens when you go to bed? Do you put your shoes next to the bed?
>>
>>205791511
>shoes off considered rude
The usual BS map.
It's the blue option.
>>
>>205792800
or whatabout they just wanna cross their legs when sitting? I practically only sit that way
>>
>>205791535
I'm barefoot right now
you don't take off your shoes when visiting someone else here
>>
>>205791511
Yeah. I wear slippers mostly though, sometimes wearing them to bed. It's kind of tiresome having to switch to my shoes when taking out the garbage thoughbeit.
>>
>>205792918
Get clogs. Quick to put on.
>>
Why don’t americans want to take their shoes off?
>>
>>205793299
It's hard to do when you're fat.
>>
>>205793299
I think most do. It's just Hollywood tv and films showing actors not taking their shoes off because they're on a film set.
>>
nonamericans think seinfeld is real life

>>205795436
Take your shoes off

holland is blue, with it directly being correlated to whiteness

>>205791511
Every Filipino household I ever been to, whether it was in Canada, US, or even the Philippines, people were always expected to enter the house without their shoes. I literally don't know case where Filipinos requested their shoes on. In fact, Filipinos would tell their guests to take off their shoes when they don't do it immediately and will tell you it's rude to keep it on because shoes usually leave dirt trails and stains on the floor. This map is whack.
>>
>>205791511
There really should be a further split between shoes off (house shoes) and shoes off (barefoot/socks)
>>
>>205791535
>>205791547
We have maids to clean the dirt off the floor unlike poors elsewhere.
>>
>>205791511
Inaccurate, Ireland should be blue on this map
>>
>>205791511
Older generations keep them on, younger take them off.
>>
>>205798432
So what would Russia be? Because I've been to homes where they wear house shoes and to homes where everyone is barefoot.
>>
>>205791511
i never understood why would you enter on the home with your shoes on you just make dirt.
>>
>>205800251
Floor is floor it will always be inclean
>>
>>205800173
>homes where everyone is barefoot
In cities at least this hasn't been a thing ever since people stopped using floor carpets everywhere

Not only does it happen in big cities, people still universally use carpets.

Nigga you can't be serious. Are you some kind of kubanoid or something?
>>
I never take my shoes off even during sex and shower
>>
>>205800674
Quite the opposite, Nizhny Novgorod (and I have also lived in Moscow for 4 years).
>>
it depends on the house rules, mostly yes. However when there is a carpet 100% off
>>
>>205791511
Retarded data doesn't even know what it's measuring. Shoes off being rude is something that applies to visiting OTHER people's homes, not staying inside your own, because going barefoot without asking the owner or being intimate gives the impression one is "feeling like they are at their own home". The standard for walking at your own home is either flipflops/sandals/crockies/etc or barefoot.
In other words, this is a casual(barefoot) vs formal(shoes on) issue. You go casual at your home or at family, but formal when visiting someone you're not intimate with or doing a service inside a house.
>>
>>205791511
Rarely. Where I've lived my whole life, sidewalks are generally clean as mall floors, and one seldom goes anywhere except by car. In winter I keep a big carpet just outside my front door, and vacuum it once in a while. In my view, it depends on how long it's been since motor vehicles replaced horses entirely.
>>
>>205791511
Why are we so superior culturally?
>>
>>205800956
>In other words, this is a casual(barefoot) vs formal(shoes on) issue
This. You don't go barefoot to import social occasions.
Taking off your shoes in someone elses house just comes off as cheeky. Feet are nasty.

Also >>205798488 may sound like a joke but is unironically true. Our houses floors are usually mopped many times a week.
>>
>>205792775
It's almost like you've never lived anywhere in the US.

shoes are to protect your feet against dirt, crap and rocks and keeping them warm and dry when going outside.
houses have floors and carpets specificly so you dont need shoes inside.
if you used big ole rubber boots outside do you just continue to wear them inside as well? makes no sense.
>>
>>205792130
They are coping.

I have literally never visited a house where they didn't ask me to take my shoes off
