I always wear slippers at home. Even though I'm inside the bathroom, I still wear slippers because we don't know what's in our floor. There are a lot of bacteria around us and we are not really sure if everything around is clean. So its better if we are sure about it.

I do wear slippers at home, especially now that we are in our winter months... I dont wear slippers for bateria sakes, my house is clean and fresh, Our slippers are only meant for inside the house, when we want to go outside, we simply take our slippers off and transfer to outdoor footwear, because wearing the same footwear or slippers outside and then into the house, your bringing dirt and bacteria in, and that would be the only way our floors would get yuck, but lucky for us, they're not, we are a very house proud family...

Yes of course, I think everybody wears slippers at home, who would like to go barefoot. Unfortunately there are still lot of poor people in many poor countries, where they cannot affort even a pair of shoes. They are moving without slippers not only at home but also outside on roads. I wish there was not such uneven distribution in this world. I wish at least everybody got the basic need of human being.......I really feel sad.

Yes, I am used of wearing slippers. Its a good practice. My mom taught me to used slipper at all time...I have different slippers for bathroom, bedroom inside the house and outside the house. I dont used my outside slipperts inside the house. And I used my bedroom slippers when Im inside the bedroom... it gives me a feeling of comfort.

I am quite the sensitive type of guy when it comes to dirt. I wouldn't step on certain places/spots if I don't have my slippers or shoes on. I wouldn't pick up dirty items like tissues if I don't have gloves or another set of clean tissues to pick it up. At home, I wear slippers and when I go out of the house I wear them too. However, if I am going to places like the Mall, Party or going out with friends, I rather wear shoes than slippers. I feel a little more comfortable wearing shoes in certain occasions though. When I am going to take a shower, I wear slippers as well. Better safe than sorry.

I don't feel comfortable without my slippers. I always bring a pair even when I am travelling. Besides, the floor feels cold on my feet.

Most part of the house is kept clean by using dettol everyday and hence it is supposed to be bacteria free. To keep the footwear, there is a place in the entrnace of the house and everyone have to leave them there itself.

I do wear slippers in the house and in the bathroom. I do it because I can't stand with the cold of the floor to my feet. When I go out I will change from slippers to some other footwear. Thank you Edzingers for asking.

I don't usually wear slippers inside the house but I do wear them when I'm in our bedroom because it's cold in there, especially during dawn, when I have to stand up and walk to the cr.
