In Norway we take our shoes off. It's great to have your feet getting some fresh air and not be trapped inside shoes all day long. Plus, things like ingrown toenails are a lot easier to fix and prevent if you simply don't walk around with shoes on 24/7. Beleive me, I've had my surgery because of that before, and the reason it never got well, was because my job consisted of walking around with shoes on all day long. After my last surgery, I just took it like a man, walked around in a sandal on my right foot and took both shoes/sandal off whenever I had the chance. Toe (sans nail) grew back to normal in a matter of days.
I remember though in Spain, they usually had their shoes on.
Why?
"Because it's dirty on the floor, and you don't wanna get your feet dirty"
Why's the floor so dirty then?
"b-bb-becaus..."
THE FLOOR IS DIRTY BECAUSE YOU WALK WITH YOUR SHOES INSIDE FFS, JUST STOP DOING IT AND KEEP YOUR HOME CLEAN WHILE YOUR FEET ARE FRESH TOO. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?
It's like what came first of chicken/egg, except you know that if you just took yourself a few minutes every now and then to clean your floor, and DON'T WALK WITH YOUR SHOES ON INSIDE. Then you won't ever need to do it again.
Why taking your shoes off is great:
Pros: Your feet get to breathe
You don't get the floor dirty
You don't get sweaty and stinky feet/toes
You are not as prone to common diseases linked to bad foot hygiene
Your become more flexible
Healthier feet
Cons: You have to take your shoes on/off whenever you leave/enter your house. boo-hoo...
Slippers get a free pass though, in case of emergency.
