Gogglebox, the family who wear their shoes indoors

[RockYourSocksOff]

I like this family but I can’t help but wince when I see a plate full of biscuits on their foot rest surrounded by feet encased in trainers.

AIBU to think they should TAKE THEM OFF!

Sorry.

I wear shoes indoors because I'm on maternity leave and my feet start to hurt otherwise. If it helps I don't have a foot rest.

With all those big dogs around, I'd be wearing wellies.

Maybe the snacks are just there for show as they never ever eat them. Or maybe they all realise they're disgustingly close to shoe treads to want to eat.

I don’t mind the dogs just the treads

Urgh I hate shoes indoors too. Not for hygiene reasons though, it just makes me feel claustrophobic!!!

The dogs sat all over the furniture bother me too actually although I know I'll be unpopular for saying so.
I love animals but not on my furniture!

The dog ate a bun once when they were all out of the room. I was howling 😂

This is such a strange thread, who on Earth worries about shoes inside 🤷‍♀️

Dogs punching food I wouldn’t have a problem with

Good grief, it's a program on TV, it's not your house. Sadly Dave the dog had to be PTS recently but they do have other dogs. So what? Do what you do, they do what they do. Each to their own.

Oh me too! I love this family but I can’t bear seeing the shoes.
(But full disclosure I am v OTT about this & know it - I hate shoes on in the house, wouldn’t tell any guests to take them off but feel v anxious if they keep them on )

Fgs! Pinching food!

Bimble, I’m sorry about Dave the dog

I get you op yanbu! I never do outdoor shoes inside.

Aww I didn't realise about Dave :( There's a great video of him snaffling biscuits while they're all out of the room. He was a lovely big lump.

Maybe they are 'house shoes' that they just wear for the show lol.

I never understand these shoes off in the house threads. Do you really expect guests to shuffle around in their stockinged feet? When you have guests for dinner do you welcome them wearing your slippers?

I don't think I've ever been a guest as a house in the UK where I was expected to remove my shoes.

No!!!! Dave is dead?! That is sad. They must be heartbroken. Poor Malones.

I’ve never noticed their shoes. I’m always distracted by their beautiful dogs and how much they love them.

Oh , poor Dave.

Sausage, you could be right! Still, what’s wrong with a lovely tartan, soft lined slipper

We're a shoes on household but I do wince at shoes so close to the snacks and am always amazed that the dogs don't snaffle the treats

Why is this any of your business

Well, it's a reality tv show designed entirely to get people talking about them. So...?

Honestly, considering their house is wall-to-wall dogs (big dogs too), shoes are the least of their hygiene problems.

I love Dave though, he is such a good dog.

If you have a dog, there is not much point taking shoes off inside. Personally, I prefer people keep their shoes on than allow their stinky feet out.

If you've read these threads before then surely you know the answers to these questions? Yes, people walk around in their "stockinged" feet. I've done it at numerous friends houses (although I don't make people do it at mine, but I probably would if we had carpets). It's not a big deal.

Yes or they can bring slippers or wear some of mine and yes I greet everyone who comes to my house in slippers or barefeet!
