Further to wearing shoes indoors...

Socks or bare feet in the house, slippers if it’s cold. Shoes are by the front door, garden boots and clogs at the back.

Surely you mean no shoes on the furniture Norah, rather than no feet, as lying on the sofa in the evening is one of life’s pleasures.

No.

I meant no feet, bare or in socks/shoes - sitting on furniture.

Gosh. That makes me feel like a slob, I love to lie on the sofa in the evening.

Foxygloves... why bother?

Others... don't you find wearing shoes all day to be hot and uncomfortable?

No.

I don't find comfortable indoor trainers/Chucks hot to my feet.

If I’m going out with the dog and I’m wearing boots or wellies, I put them on in the porch and leave my slippers there, ready for when I get back. Otherwise, I slip shoes off just inside the front door and my slippers are there waiting for me.
I don’t care if visitors/family keep their shoes on, unless they’re filthy. It was the main reason we replaced the hall and lounge floors with wood - far easier to clean, especially when DD2’s wheelchair had been through something less than hygienic!

Always have taken shoes off at front door. I have persian rugs and would cry if anyone walked over them with outdoor shoes on. Shoes upstairs a no no too. Just the way we roll

I put my shoes on in the morning and take them off when I go to bed at night. They go with me wherever I go all day.

Why? - because getting them on and off is a painful palaver and involves grabbers and a long-handled shoehorn. Twice a day is more than enough.

I wear shoes indoors - usually put on in the morning in bedroom and leave on all day. Unless very muddy, I don't take them off when I come in from outside. We have mostly tiles on floor downstairs. I don't put feet up on couch etc. If I'm gardening, I might put on old boots and take off when I come in. We live in a rural area and have a solid fuel stove - I'm constantly going in and out of the house - getting fuel, bringing out ash, emptying compost bucket and lots of other short trips outside - much handier to leave shoes on!

Grandchildren take off their shoes when visiting as that seems to be the practice in their house.

I have a selection of indoor shoes - and no slippers. The shoe cabinet is full, so I tend to keep them in the hall next to it. I take a pair of 'indoor' ones when I visit - as I'd hate to be in just my socks - or (far worse) somebody else's slippers!

Yes, we keep indoor trainers at our daughters and other family members - other people, I take ballet shoes with me.

If you wear shoes indoors, when do you put them on, and then take them off? Where do you keep them?

We don't wear indoor shoes, so all shoes are kept in the closet by the front door, other than dressy shoes which are in our bedroom closet.

I do wear slippers, stored either in the bedroom or front closet.

If you do wear shoes all day inside, what about when you put your feet up in the evening... shoes on the couch or ottoman?

Indoor trainers, no slippers. No feet on furniture.

Apart from our children and grandchildren, they put on slippers when they arrive, stored in the closet in baskets.
