Owning your own home

not generally but i dont take them off every time i come in from the garden or anything either. but my house is a tip anyway

Yes, but our carpets need replacing.

If it's wet outside, or there's any chance there's any dirt on the shoes then I take them off at the threshold.

Otherwise, if it's dry and I'm sure there's no dog/fox/whatever shit on them, then I may not take them off.

If/when we replace the carpets there will be a strict no shoes indoors rule for at least a few weeks.

Sometimes downstairs (which is hard floors). Almost never upstairs (which is mostly carpet).

No. I ain't cleaning the floors that often. I have house slides for warmth.

No, though I will walk through if i’m about to leave to go get something if the mrs isn’t there but not on the rug. current floor is modern oak click type with a synthetic finish.
New place has painted floorboard bedrooms and oiled iroku in lounge so it’s definitely no outdoor shoes, we are thinking of getting some of those guest/hotel slippers.

Can’t believe people have fitted carpets downstairs now, it’s a weird English thing that seemed fine when i was younger but now don’t really understand.

No, seems very weird that anyone would. Even with only one room carpeted, who likes cleaning that much?!

No - they come off at the door.

No, unless I'm just going out, just got in.

Not so much the dirt aspect (we have crappy laminate throughout) but when I'm at home I want to be comfortable.

Mrs rhowe is from SE Asia so not unless I have a death wish
