[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always find it funny when this topic comes up - I live in Canada where everyone has shoe free homes. I never knew people wore shoes in their home until I started reading DCUM - it seems very unusual and (sorry!) totally gross to me.

It is not a big deal. When you come to someone's house, you take your shoes off just inside the front door unless the host indicates otherwise. Since nobody cares about a pile of shoes at the door when you're in the house visiting, just leave them tucked neatly by the door. In your own home, your shoes can be kept in a closet near the door, neatly lined by the front door, in a basket, on a shoe rack... whatever you like best. It's REALLY not a big deal.[/quote]

Me again - here's a question for those of you who do wear your shoes in your home, since I'm curious. Do you wear your shoes when you're sitting on the couch? What if you want to tuck your legs under your body or cover your legs with a blanket? Do you wear your shoes in the bedroom? While you're doing things like vacuuming or putting your kids to bed?

I just want to understand!![/quote]

I wear shoes in my house so I will answer. I'll start by saying when I don't wear them, which is most or at least 50% of the time.  If I'm home for the night, or it's morning and I have nowhere to be until let's say 1 pm, then I won't put them on until just before I leave.  And if I am coming and going, I'll leave them on. But once I get home I usually will take them off as soon as I sit down to relax, if not before. I like having them on for laundry trips to basement, grabbing mail, playing with kids outside, etc. - the stretches if my day where I'm in and out a lot.  I'm busy. And maybe lazy too. ?[/quote]
