    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.

    I'm barefoot as much as possible (once poo patrol has been done in the garden )

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

    My shoes come off as soon as I walk in my house!

    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.
    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..

    I cannot walk about in slippers or barefoot all day, I need the orthotics that I put in my shoes or my feet will ache by the end of the day, if I walk a lot. However, when I am seated anywhere, the shoes come off.

    I wish it was custom here. My house might stay a little cleaner!!! But then again, Zoee tracks in stuff anyway.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    In the summer my shoes are off. Even outside. By the end of the day my feet are a totally different color.

    Any other time of the year my shoes are on until all the dogs are pottied. Then they come straight off.

    I never wear my shoes in my house. I barely ever wear socks. It's not a rule in my house but it's WAY more comfortable. When I am rushing, coming in for a minute, etc. I wear my shoes but that's it.
