I have been reading a lot lately about not wearing outside shoes in the house and it interests me even more because I’ve been saving to re-carpet my whole house. It hits me every now and then about how to do things though, like, say I’m cooking all day on Sunday then need to take the trash out. I’m assuming it’s change shoes, then say the grandkids stop by and want to go go for a bike ride? I’m assuming it’s change shoes. I guess maybe what I’m asking is how many baskets by how many doors with how many pairs of slip-ons (both indoor and out) do I need?
I learned from TV, American shows like Seinfeld or Simpsons where the characters are always wearing shoes. Growing up in Canada we didn’t do that and I thought it was weird
I have been rewatching Friends and it drives me nuts. They regularly jump on top of the couch and the coffee table with their outside shoes on…
That’s super dependent on the social group.
Mr Rogers had inside and outside shoes so that’s the end of the line, champ
Sounds like it dirties up your apartment and is lazy, but okay, it’s about laziness I guess
Makes no sense to me. Why would you do that?
It is a mixture of things. Carpet gets dirty quicker and is harder to clean than hard floors. Hard floors are worse for your feet, ankles, knees, and cause more pain. It is healthier to walk on hard floors with shoes on, padding and carpet wasn’t much of a deal (closer to grass).
Many people are moving to house shoes, I personally don’t like them. But then again I don’t like walking on tile floors for long periods of time either. It encourages sitting/laying down more often.
We just have those regular carpets (not whole floor carpeting) and socks inside. Don’t have to clean the carpets very often and isn’t hard on the feet or anything.
Wait that’s not just artists being lazy?
So is it not rude to leave your shoes on in some places?
Uh ya, it’s called TV not real life.
They are on set, not in their comfy house.
At least that explains Seinfeld. Not sure why they would do it in the simpsons. I’d imagine it’s because the writer does this shit at home too like a savage.
That’s just their workplace. They aren’t going to stop to have Kremer take off his shows. Also for people like Tom Cruise, the shows are used to change the perception of height.
