Do you just wear your shoes 24/7?

Wtf I'm not even japanese and it's just common sense to remove your (DIRTY) shoes when you enter an household.

You're not a real American unless you wear your muddy work boots to bed.

I know it's a jap tradition, but who the fuck actually wears there shoes inside? Op you're a fucking weirdo

House floors are generally clean as long as you vacuum and clean regularly and don't walk all over the place with your filthy shoes.

Christ, it blows my mind that not only do people apparently wear their shoes around in the house, but they also believe that everyone else does and that it's the right thing to do.

>wearing your shoes inside
Do Americans really do this? Are your floors really that hilariously dirty?

We Americans are the minority in this matter, OP

only a barbarian would wear their shoes inside

>people like to walk around on a hard floor with out foot support

>shoes in the house
that's disgusting.

We're also in minority on matters involving flags on the moon, so...

You're in a living room, not a hiking trail. How the hell do you manage to walk around a house so much that it would cause your feet discomfort.

Also slippers exist.

>foot support
>not knowing that walking and running barefoot is one of the best ways to strengthen your feet

A large chunk of the western world also does this. It isn't exclusive to U.S. desu.

Fuck, I'm not american but I do wear shoes inside my house, except on the rooms or carpet floors. We do clean daily tho

Take off your shoes, you filthy ape.

Californian here who just got back from visiting Texas for a month.

Nobody wears their shoes inside their own homes. I don't know what backwards hole you live in where slogging your filthy shoes inside all over your floors or your hosts' floors is normal or socially acceptable.

>wearing shoes in the house
Yes, Am*ricans are disgusting uncultured pigs, color me surprised

not a jap, but shoes can damage wood floors, also i use slippers in home, or crocs

no it's because most of people that live here are pussies because of the news and shit like that

The only kind of shoes I wear inside my house are slippers. Why would I dirty my carpet with all the crap I've tracked in from inside

what, now I have to buy twice as many pairs of shoes just to be comfy in my own house? what the fuck is wrong with just keeping my regular shoes on?

Due to solar radiation, the flags on the moon have been damaged to the point that they are now just plain white. Therefore, this can be taken to mean that America has surrendered the moon to the rest of the world.

I'm an american and we don't wear our shoes inside. I think this practice is only popular in some rustbelt states because everything's shit there so there's nothing to preserve.

I bet you don't take off your hat before entering house.

enjoy washing your floor twice a month

Additionally, why would you dirty someone ELSE'S carpet/floors with all the crap you've tracked in from outside when they've been courteous enough to invite you into their home?

The only way I can rationalize this is maybe it's a WASP thing? I grew up in a lower income and we always took our shoes off. The only way I can rationalize this is the "Don't bother taking your shoes off we'll just have the nigress clean up after you ohohohoho care for some caviar and wine?" type of people.

>wearing shoes while at home

Absolutely degenerate.

Burger #2 here, my house has a mudroom where you take off your shoes before entering the living area.

>not enjoying the smooth, cool feel of hardwood floor on your bare feet

>twice
Just one pair of slippers, you need to have one pair of brown dressing shoes, one pair of black dressing shoes, one pair of running shoes, 3 pairs of casual shoes and one pair of slippers, nothing more

We did that long before flag bleaching. There's been a treaty since the 1970s that we signed (like globalist hippie retards) stating no nation can actually lay claim to the lunar surface. It's everybody's Moon, all we can do is be tourists on it.

You don't clean daily??? How's central africa doing?

>not recognizing a joke that blatant

If you need to clean your whole house every day, you clearly don't take care to keep it clean enough.

Minnesota here. Pretty much everyone I've ever met takes off their shoes and expects others to take off their shoes. Sometimes people invite others to wear their shoes in if they're just there for a short period of time, like to discuss something with a contractor for example. When entering someone else's house, I'd consider it polite to ask permission, as it could be seen as rude to make yourself at home right away if you don't know them well. And at that point I would never walk past the entryway with shoes still on unless they specifically said it was okay.

I don't know where the idea that Americans wear their shoes around inside homes comes from, but I don't like it.

I have a mudroom as well. I guess non-Americans don't know what that is, but basically it's a small room right at the entrance where guests can bang the mud and animal feces off their shoes before continuing into the house. It's a really clever idea in my opinion, and the carpet can be replaced every 6 months or whatever.

Do you burgers not know the joys of sliding around on hardware floors in socks?

>To the world
You mean the French?

I wear socks and sandals inside.

Honestly I think whether or not you remove your shoes really depends on that context and the house itself.
I always take off my shoes when I get home, because we have smaller rooms and all of our floors are carpeted.

I've been invited to houses with really big rooms with hardwood floors and taking off my shoes didn't really feel right.
It's okay to keep your shoes on in bigger houses where your feet are far away from anything important and messes are easy to clean up.

I can see why people generally take their shoes off in Japan because most of their houses are on the smaller side and sitting on the floor is more common where your feet are close to your face.

I'm pretty sure most Americans will take their shoes off when they get home but not at the front door. Most of the people I know will take them off in their room or closet and either go barefoot or wear socks/slippers afterwards. This is especially true if you live alone. Going barefoot with guests isn't common.

???

finally, after all these years I have a reason to post this

Also Minnesota here, pretty much the same.
I've never really had people ask if they could wear their shoes inside, but rather "Where should I put my shoes?". Seems like everyone around where I live just assumes no shoes in the house unless you're just popping in and out real quick.

When I was in Afghanistan we went to sleep in our dirty boots all the time.

Because of the war, y'know.

Just wear slippers, then it doesn't matter what is on or not in you floor.

Some rooms in my house are carpet, some are hardwood. I take off my shoes when entering a carpet room and put them back on for the wood. I've been to numerous other people's houses and most of them don't even go that far, and just tread all over their own carpet without taking a second to remove their shoes, which, personally, I find to be irresponsible, but to each his own I guess. Whenever I enter another person's home, I simply do with my shoes whatever they happen to be doing, since it's their house, their rules. Most people would get really weirded out if they invited you in and you took off your shoes despite the fact that they themselves still have their shoes on, and the opposite is just plain rude. I live in California btw.

Depends on the day, sometimes I'll forget because work or whatever sucked and I just want something to eat or need to take a shit. Most of the time I take them off right after getting in my home

Fact: The only acceptable shoe for home use is the slipper.

Or I could just have one of these and replace them once in a while instead of replacing a whole carpet.

>tfw you have to replace your bathroom carpet every 6 months

Wait, why is your house so dirty that you feel like you need to keep your shoes on?

No, we don't actually do this, it's just a stereotype that comes from nowhere (maybe Hollywood or something?) It's unfortunate because whenever I go to hang out with my Japanese friends, they force me to keep my shoes on in their house because they think it's part of my culture when it's not.

>[
>bathroom
>carpet
NIGGA WTF

>americans

in most cheaper apartments in the US they put in carpet instead of tile to reduce costs

holy shit that's awful, i'm sorry user

>he thinks it's normal to leave his shoes on at home
Fucking muricans man, their ignorance never knew any bounds but it's hilarious to see that they seem to be fucking filthy too

I do my feet smell

Is this real?

>leaving his shoes on because his fragile feet can't handle wood for some reason
this thread is fucking hilarious man, I seriously didn't know people like you exist

Who the fuck doesn't take their shoes off inside?

a large number of murifats seemingly

Hey now. Fellow burger here and I take my shoes off indoors because I wasn't raised by savages. Momma would beat me for tracking mud through her house.

>Do they want to get their feet dirty?
Where is the logic here? What third world country are you in where you wear shoes but don't wear socks? They take off their shoes when they come INSIDE, the shoes that you put on when you go OUTSIDE, and just wear socks around the house.

Ignoring that, why is it so unrealistic that people would be barefoot in their own house? Seriously where are you from? I'm American and it's just common fucking sense to not trample your dog shit covered boots inside the house.

But this thread is 97% burgers calling OP a filthy animal

Aside from making your floor dirty, shoes are...
>often loud on floors and highly unpleasant to listen to when compared to the potentially silent bare or socked footstep
>much less comfortable than bare feet and make your feet hot and stinky
>much more difficult to relax in, because of the reduced comfort and the fact that shoes indicate psychologically that you're out and about
USA here, I never wear shoes in the house unless I'm just very quickly running back in to get something and I'm wearing something like winter boots that aren't easily slipped on and off. I actually wish at times that shoelessness were standard practice for public buildings as well, like in mosques, and we just wore socks inside (for some barrier against the bare floor and strangers' foot sweat, but far amplified comfort and reduced dirtiness). But then there's the issue of where to put shoes if it's a large building with hundreds of people (like a single-building school or office), and the fact that some floors are disgusting regardless of footwear like when people pee on bathroom floors. If I'm going to track around pee residue I'd rather do it fully shoed, but the comfort and reduced noise of wearing socks indoors publicly would be really quite nice. Imagine this: floors never having that filthy salty residue in the winter.

Shoo back to your containment board faggot.

Better question, why the fuck do japs sleep on the floor?

I kek'd

I just want you to know that I appreciate this interaction.

...

Because tons of japs live in tiny apartments, so they need the extra space of having a stowable bed.

If i was in that position, i'd still have an off-ground bed so i could have under bed storage

What's with all this talk of your shoes being "Filthy"? Where are you all walking to make your shoes so dirty that you can't wear them in the house? I refuse to believe that all of Sup Forums has some blue collar job and muddy work boots.

>t. yankee

mudrooms don't exist in the south, or in cities / suburbs. they're a rural or yankee thing. it's unfortunate, bc it's a good idea.

>I do wear shoes inside my house
>We do clean daily tho
But... you could just take your shoes off and save all the time and effort cleaning... What logic is this? You could so easily avoid making the floor need to be cleaned in the first place.

>Sup Forums - Animu & Mango

From what I can tell, the only actual cultural difference is that some Americans wear their shoes inside until they get to their room. It depends on if there's a good place to take them off once you come in the door.

Japanese houses are pretty much always built with a little step next to the door to put your shoes before you come in so their shoes never go beyond that point.

I don't wear shoes in the house
t. burgerfat

I wish frameless traditional JP furniture were more common/accepted in the US. Sleeping on the floor, sitting on the floor, etc. There really in no point at all to having a frame on your bed, and it'd be much cheaper and save wood. Only benefits to high beds and high tables I can think of is easily setting things on them from a standing position. But doing things low seems so comfy.

You don't need to be tracking in mud. You still track in small amounts of dirt constantly. Not to mention if you live in a northern state most of the year is a wet, messy, and covered in salt.

Your shoes are filthy no matter what you're stepping in you fucking retard. There's a reason why shoes were invented in the first place and it wasn't just so you could brag about your pair of snot green nikes.

Your floor is dirty because you wear your shoes inside you fucking mongoloid

If you take your shoes off and live like a decent human being, your floor and feet will be clean

I have a pair of sandals for indoor use only.

>Not sweeping and mopping a minimum of every 3 days

absolutely disgusting, wouldn't want to visit your pigsty

I like how these threads occur occasionally and they're always the same - confused OP, vehemently angry respondents, Americans saying they don't do that while people continue to blame Americans.

But if you wear them to a certain room the whole area up until that will become dirty...? My house has no accommodations (step, mudroom, etc), we just leave them by the door. You need to have a special place to put shoes to be able to remove your shoes.

Sleeping on the floor is for plebs
Fuck having to stand up to get out of bed

Nothing's a waste if it's convenient

I guess if you have bad knees it's a good thing.

>Your floor is dirty because you wear your shoes inside you fucking mongoloid

The floor was made to get dirty you inbred yuropoor. Maybe because you're too poor to afford a vaccuum and the $10 worht of electricity to turn it on once a month you feel the need to belittle rich americans like me because I prefer to be comfy, warm, and clean in my home. You probably live in a dirt hovel and own a single pair of shoes which were passed down for generations, because you're so poor you can't afford anything else. Then your family and all other yuropoor families made up a gay little story about how "everyone takes their shoes off indoors" because they don't want you to wear out the shoes because you'll never be able to afford another pair.

And don't deny it, my friend went to europe and told me this is literally how almost every european lives, in a shitty little communist house with dirt floors and no running water. He said the toilets only had like half a gallon of water in them and could only flush turds if they were small and fragile, like the ones europeans produce on their diet of grass and bog water. He also said a lot of kids were missing one or both feet because in the winter it gets so cold and they can't afford heat, and because they don't wear their shoes they get frostbite.

SO fuck off you idiot yuropoors, just because you can't afford the luxuries americans take for granted doesn't make you in the right.

Massachusetts here. I take off my shoes when I get inside my house, but that's for comfort more than anything. When I go to other people's house, or they come to mine, the shoes usually stay on, and if I do take off my shoes at someone else's house, I ask them if I'm allowed first. Spent a year in California, and I think it's the case their too, but I haven't been to many other people's houses there, so I can't say for sure.

>I prefer to be [...] clean in my home.
Does not compute with having shoes on in your house, unless you clean after every step the second you did it.

Also MA. Guests often leave their shoes on and I hate it, it feels totally intrusive. If I'm a guest I also often leave them on because it feels like I'm forcing intimacy if I take them off, but sometimes I'll ask if I can.

>my friend went to europe and told me this is literally how almost every european lives, in a shitty little communist house with dirt floors and no running water.

It also elevates you away from the heavier-than-air gases that build up in your house so you are exposed to a lower concentration of them. There's other methods you can utilize to reduce their buildup, like being fortunate enough to have a sliding door or some other way of letting the gasses roll outside, or having houseplants.

But a lot of people don't do gardening or only buy generic houseplants instead of peace lillies, snake plants, and variegated pothos that cleans that crap out of the air.

Sick building syndrome is a real thing and the extra few feet can pay for itself, long term.

4/10 for effort

Why should the pothos be variegated? What does the amount of chlorophyll have to do with anything? If anything I'd think non-variegated pothos would be more effective since they're presumably more active.

>Why should the pothos be variegated?
Are ye making up funny words again, son?

Do you not know what variegated means? You can use Google if you don't know.

You better tell those fuckers to take off their fucking shoes next time I swear to fuck.

>tfw you've been in America for too long that you forget to take off your shoes.
