At what point do you take them off? I was brought up in a house where there was no expectation to take shoes off but then travelled in late teens and lived in a country where it was the norm. From then onwards I have always taken off my shoes at the door. I now can't remember when I did take my shoes off. My parents are now no longer able to tell me (dementia etc.). So I am just wondering what others do. I obviously didn't sleep in them, there wasn't a shoe rack, although wellies etc. were kept in the coats cupboard. I can't remember if I would come in and then kick them off somewhere in the house (quite probable) or if we would eat with them on.
I do remember having to clean them on the door mat and checking for dog poo. My mother was far more house proud than I am so it really isn't a clean vs unclean thread. I see shoes off as an excuse not to sweep as much .
