    Shoes or no shoes?

    I usually take my shoes off immediately when I get home. My BF, on the other hand, puts shoes on immediately when he gets up. The other morning he was in the kitchen making coffee in his robe with flip-flops on. I was laughing!!!

    So, what do you prefer?
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I prefer no shoes, but since my room is in the basement and my in-laws run their business out of their basement, theres usually scraps of metal and little pieces of wire all over floor and it really is unsafe to walk around without shoes on. Plus I haaaaate getting my socks dirty!

    I would love to just walk around barefoot though as shoes really are uncomfortable to wear inside the house

    Maybe I'll look for my slippers

    I sued to go barefoot at home. Then one day I was walking a bumped into a chair, stubbed my toe. At least, I thought I did. IT HURT! Then it swelled up like a sausage and turned blue and purple! Found out I had broken it via x ray. Must be 10 years ago, now.

    Ever since, I wear flip flops in the house. Which I do NOT consider shoes, snicker. I only put on shoes just before going out, and they are the first thing off, even before I unpack groceries. My feet do NOT like being closed in!

    Oh, and I seldom wear shoes, either. I use sneakers about 98% of the time.

    I voted 'other'. I don't put my shoes on unless I have to, but once I have them on I don't take them back off unless I have to. It's a weird quirk of mine, so I guess that I hate to put on and take off shoes not really have a preference whether I'm wearing them or not. lol

    I voted Other. I put slippers on as soon as I get home. Fortunately in my job I can wear sneakers but I still prefer my slippers once I am home.

    I prefer to be barefoot when inside. Shoes are not allowed in the house (mum's rule), so they are all left at the door. Plus, if I wear shoes I always feel like I need to go somewhere, so I tend to be restless.

    That is so funny, because that's exactly what he said when I laughed at him that morning!

    Yes, I have many friends with that rule and we respect it. I would have that rule, but obviously it's not going to happen.

    I usually walk around with either my socks on or slippers on until I leave to go some where. When I come home from work, I take off my shoes and usually put slippers on.

    In the house I'm always barefoot. I usually put flip flops on when I'm in the yard though.

    lol I dont mean that its a personal rule, in this part of the country, its social custom to always remove shoes at the door, not doing so is considered highly improper. its not just homes either, this social rule extends to schools, churches, rec centers, open houses, some docters offices etc..
