....um, you are the weird one. It is perfectly fine for you to take your shoes off, but it is not necessary. I know I don't mind if people who are in my house keep their shoes on.
Poll: Whats up with wearing shoes indoors????
- Thread starter ClunkiestTurtle

To be honest, if you came to my place and took your shoes off without me asking you to I'd be mildly offended as it means you think you have a right to be here for longer than I might want you to.
Actually your poll options are a bit off (T'is a little offensive too) as I don't consider keeping my shoes on indoors to be "weird" and as such can't make a selection.

I wear my shoes all the time, basically from the time I get up to the time I go to bed. Sometimes I even sleep with them on. Went about 50+ hours with my shoes on recently. The reason for all this is a few things.
1. comfort, these shoes are nice (for a $40 pair of shoes anyway)
2. I have a dachshund puppy
Behold, Satan lives in my house (the date on the camera hasn't been right since we got it and we lost the instructions on how to change it)
who has destroyed two pairs of my previous shoes, she will not bite them while I wear them.
3. I never know when I'm gonna have to go outside.

the bias in this is hilariously refreshing.
im just more comfortable. without shoes. even socks if i think i can pull it off.

I used to know somebody who insisted I took my army style boots, as well as any foot wear, off. I now refuse to go in to a house like that, although if somebody wants to come into mine and take them off then by all means make yourself at home.
I can kind of understand why but it's such a major inconvenience, I had 18 eyelets on each my boots, 8 on each boot had to be undone to take the boots off, which took ages and we would always be going in and out of his house, major pain in the arse.
I can understand wanting to keep your carpets clean but there are Hoovers and carpet cleaners that you can buy, it's like putting plastic over your chairs and couch.
As for comfort, I find both comfy and I like the feeling of leaving your shoes on for ages then taking them off ... it feels so good, like having a good stretch.

I agree, shoes are infinitely less comfortable than bare foot. I've not really had it be a problem. I do get similiar reactions when people find out I sleep naked, though...some people just can't get their head around it. But it's simple. I wear clothes all day...why would I wear clothes to bed?ClunkiestTurtle said:
I only wear shoes indoors if I've just come from somewhere (School, a friend's house) and have shoes on upon entering my house.
I always thought it was weird that everyone I know has made it custom to keep shoes off while in the house, considering no one really cares in my own home.

I almost always wear my shoes indoors, I have poor circulation and as a result my hands and feet are usually very cold, so wearing shoes keeps them warm.
Also why does wearing my shoes indoors make me weird? I could say the same about you for not wearing your shoes indoors.
