Spinoff: do you wear shoes in your house?

My family has always left their shoes at the door. Right after you walk inside there's a spot to put them. But my girlfriend says it looks bad, and her family puts their shoes in a closet in their room then wears slippers or flip flops at all times in the house.

What was it like having to always sit on that plastic couch cover too?

I wear flip flops, slippers in the house regularly.

I have tile flooring and don't make a big deal of whether or not people wear their shoes in my house, most are sensible enough to take them off if they are dirty.
But yes, I do wear shoes in this house because I am not walking around in socks when I am at home

In general, yes. Once we get up, get dressed, and get to doing what ever we are doing that day we keep our shoes on.
At the end of the day, when we are settling down for the night we usually just wear socks or go barefoot.
My house has wood floors and tile, no carpet. Shoes help cushion your feet on the tile, and if I'm going in and out a lot I'm not going to stop and take shoes on and off every time.

From a floor integrity perspective, I read on here a week or so ago that wearing shoes is better for floors because it keeps the oils from feet from getting on the floors.
That being said, I wear LL Bean house slippers most of the time.

Shoes stay in the garage on a shoe rack or go inside in a closet. I have house slippers for the winter and flip flops for the summer.

I take my shoes/boots off when I walk in the door but mostly because I'm tired of wearing them. I take them off at my desk too

There is no "if" about it...shoes are filthy.

No, I don't like shoes period.

I have tile floors throughout my house and the soil here is very sandy. Shoes at the doors, slippers in the house. I don't like walking on sand covered tiles.

researchers at the University of Arizona found nine different species of bacteria on people's shoes. These types of bacteria can cause infections in our stomachs, eyes and lungs. The study also found bacteria live longer on our shoes than in other places. As we walk, we constantly pick up new debris that feeds the growth of more bacteria.
The researchers tested to see if bacteria on shoes would transfer to the tile floors in a house. More than 90 percent of the time it did. Carpeting harbors bacteria even more

"Toilet seats generally have 1,000 bacteria or less, and these are in the millions so there's a lot more bacteria here."

Children under age 2 are the most vulnerable to the germs we track into the house, because they play on the floor and put their hands in their mouths an average of 80 times an hour

Out of "GMA's" 10 tests, nine contained coliform, a type of bacteria that comes mostly from human and animal waste.
