Do you take off your shoes when you go in the house?

I’m talking about the shoes you wear outside, whether it’s to work, running errands, walking in your neighborhood, whatever.
When Mrs. GreenWay asked that we start doing this probably 20+ years ago, I thought it was sort of silly. Now, I’m so used to it I can’t imagine walking through the house with who knows what on the bottom of my shoes. I’ve got slippers if I need them, socks if I don’t care about getting holes in them, or my bare feet. There’s less dirt dragged in and none of the mystery germs and guck setting up its own place inside.
What about you?

No

Usually. But I think asking guests to do it is rude.

Yes. I hate shoes.

Hell no.

Muddy boots, muddy running shoes, ice/snow - of course. But I ain't a fucking animal who walks around barefoot.

Yes. I also walk outside barefoot. Socks are for winter.

I'm guessing you guys are also front wipers.

I'm a shoes off guy, I think it's disgusting to wear them in the house but my wife is the polar opposite. She won and it's a shoes on house.

Only because mrs greenway asks me to.

depends on the shoes. anytime they are dirty they come off for sure.

Some people will stand in the restrooms at spartan stadium or one of those portajohns and then later walk right into their house.

and some people regularly clean the floors of their house.

If you wear shoes inside, you're a savage (and not the good kind).

Question for you shoes-on freaks: do you wear your shoes while you're sitting in a recliner watching TV? Does that not seem unnatural to you? How can you truly relax with all that foot encumbrance going on?

You must have an inch of beach sand in your house by now.

Agreed. Have never asked a guest to remove their shoes. Our best friends take them off, regardless. I def respect businesses that instruct their staff to put on those disposable shoes booties when they enter the homes of clients/customers.

Yeah, she told me how janky your feet are. Appreciate you doing it. And congratulations on winning the socially-distanced neighborhood coupon poker tournament in my house. The women love when you play because you always have the best discounts on feminine hygiene products.

No doubt. You must pay a heavy price for getting your period.
