    UK and east Europe are you sure? Don’t think a place where rain is just the weather that makes sense

    Greetings from Australia; this is wrong. It’s likely off or mixed, based on heritage and cultural factors.

    We wear shoes/slippers in the house. For 2 reasons

    I have never been able to teach any of the dogs I’ve had to take their shoes off when they come in the house. So the floor is getting dirty anyway even as we speak. Sweeping and vacuuming happens more than once a week.

    When you live in a place where the temperatures are below freezing for 6 months out of the year, your house cold soaks. So the floor is most likely going to feel uncomfortably cooler than people who live in a more temperate climate experience. And it doesn’t matter how well insulated or sealed your house is, it will cold soak. Slippers/shoes for the win.

    Midwest EU when visiting someone’s house.

    X: you guys take your shoes off in the house?

    Y: yeah but it’s ok, I’m cleaning later on anyway.

    Or

    Y: Yes please, I just cleaned.

    In my society people usually don’t get their shoes off at home. We did this thing of using specific shoes at home as a compromise. Works pretty well, it’s not that I wouldn’t like a shoes off policy, but it can get too cold to stand on uncarpeted floors.

    I have a friend who is shoes off. I respect his wishes at his home but I’d hate to live like that.
