Shoes debate - In or out?!

[Pinot2]

Do you wear shoes in your home?

Do you walk up and down with shoes on?

I am not talking about the unfortunate occasion that you are ready to leave the house and you say oh no, I forgot the X thing and you tip - toe to take this X thing with shoes on.

I am talking about getting into the house and keep walking with your shoes like they are your slippers.

I just saw a photo, it triggered me and thought to open a thread!

AIBU - Yes we wear shoes inside. Is there a problem with this?

AINBU - No, we take them off at the entrance and they don't ever go close to living room, kitchen, bedrooms etc.

Shoes off. Most kids coming in take their shoes off automatically and scamper upstairs to play. I don't ask adults to - it's laminate wood floors downstairs and mopped daily. No reason for adults to go upstairs so never need to ask.

Shoes off in hallway here. Although my house often has kids from our estate in & I’m very insistent that all the shoes are off and I wipe their bare feet with wet wipes if they’re dirty I even wipe my dogs paws before he walks on the carpet!

Doesn’t make one iota of difference as the lounge carpet still looks grubby.

i don’t ask guests to remove their shoes, I just sit there feeling really pissed off instead!

I live alone with hard floors so im not bothered.

No shoes in the house and I don't know anyone who doesn't do the same.
Everyone who comes in (except any electrician, plumber or whatever) will take their shoes off.

Absolutely no shoes past the shoe racks in the hall. Have insisted on that since I bought my first house 30 years ago and recarpeted it all as soon as I moved in.

I also grew up in a shoes on house where family used to sit/lay on beds/sofa with shoes on and always thought it was a bit yukky and not very comfortable/homely. I used to always take mine off as hated wearing shoes at home and my socks/feet were always filthy. The amount of drama they used to create taking their shoes off when they same to mine was ridiculous. Don’t see them much nowadays but they’re still the same!

I have had some visitors who didn’t seem pleased at being asked to take shoes off but tbh I don’t care. My house, my rules! If you don’t like it you don’t have to come in. DC were brought up like it and automatically take shoes off in friends houses which I’ve had to tell them not to do as the state of their socks afterwards.

Contractors never have an issue and most of them have shoe covers nowadays.

Shoes off with no exceptions whether it's guests, handyman or anyone else. Worst case scenario if someone refuses to take shoes off due to health and safety I have shoe covers near the entrance (happened once or twice in my life)

TBH it’s so ingrained in DH and DC, they will hop around the house and go on their knees upstairs if they’ve put got one shoe on and realised they’ve forgotten something. It’s not like I’d scream at them. I just raise an eyebrow that they’ve not figured out it’d be quicker to have taken the other shoe off as well and walk normally!

I take my shoes off. As does our 4 children. Dh walks to the dining room and takes them off.

I dont outright ask guests to take them off. However, they usually do on seeing we don't wear them.

I grew up in Scandinavia where this is the norm and it was one of the culture shocks for me. I find it very dirty using shoes inside. We have wooden floors downstairs I still don't like it.

Shoes off, it's gross to keep them on. You walk on dried up dog wee, spit and all sorts outside.
