    They’re like a couch, you’re supposed to clean them regularly and try not to dirty them because its so hard to clean

      Yet Americans will walk inside with their shoes on all the time, if you go by what’s down on TV and in movies. Even if you take off your shoes, the feet are dirty af, it’s still nasty af to have carpet indoors. So gross.

          I mean to be honest I couldn’t really imagine what you see in culture media to be very close to reality, because these sick fucks on my TV are putting their shoes up in their couch and bed and shit. That’s just insane.

          Still though, only 70%?! It’s still way too low.

            There are also people who have “house shoes” which may be slippers or actual shoes that they only wear around the house.

            I don’t know how common it is.

              I could never wear closed shoes indoors. Gotta let the feet breathe, man, yuck!

                That’s the beauty of free will. Everyone has different preferences and tastes and can apply those in their own home.

                Remember, judging others doesn’t define who they are, it defines who you are.

                It seems to be a generational thing from what I read in Wikipedia, older people from UK and Netherlands for example didn’t remove shoes but younger generations do. The US is a big mix of cultures so I’m guessing people that came here from all over some didn’t remove shoes but people from other places do, and as we go more people are removing shoes because it makes sense.

                Also most people I know have switched to hard floors over carpet as well. For example when we got our home we removed all the carpet but the bedroom

                  And what does that mean for you? Does it mean you want to have shoes after switching to hard floors, or you don’t want to have shoes on?

                    No way I’m wearing shoes when I get home, it just means its easier to keep clean than carpet
