All our family members had to wear sandals inside our house. The reason is caused we had dogs. And the dogs fur are everywhere. Yes, we swept the floor two or sometimes three times in one day. But the fur still had a way to stick in our floor. The only place that i dont wear sandals was in my own room. Here is dog restricted area. How about you? Did you wear sandals for any reason or just bare feet in your house?

I go barefoot when I'm inside my room. When I go out of my room, I wear sandals/slippers.

When you live in the tropics you will discover a certain joy of having your feet as uncovered as possible. At home I always go barefoot and I come from a culture where it is the height of bad manners to wear shoes into the house. When most of us go out, the best thing to wear is usually open toed sandals, though in the modern working environment it is not ok for guys to dress like that so we stick to shoes. Where possible, I compromise and wear boat shoes, which look formal enough to be respectable but are lose and causal enough for you to go without socks and you can kick of your shoes when nobody is looking - trust me it feels alot more comfortable that way.

Hi tiger, I live in Indonesia and considered bad manner to wear sandals in the house. But we got dogs. If we went barefoot in the house, usually our feet will get dog furs and it carried to our room and to our bed when we sleep. So much easier to wear sandals.

I go barefoot in my own house. I even go barefoot outside most of the time which is not a good idea as you can step on glass or a nail but I love to go barefoot. If I am going to the store I will slip on a pair of flip flops or sandles.

I don't have pets yet, so i don't use sandal inside the house. I still have baby and it's not the right time to have pets.

I am always barefoot in the house. I do not like to wear shoes and socks at all, so as soon as I come in the house I take off both unless I know I will be going outside again soon. Then I will deal with it and leave them on.

I always wear some type of shoe whether it be scandal, tennis shoe, or boots. However I've developed this awful habit of when wearing tennis shoes I just slip them on and I break down the backs of them. I was telling my mom about this a few weeks ago, and she said as a kid I would do that and it always made her mad because I would ruin my shoes. I thought it was kind of funny that I also did this as a kid. Anyway, I never go barefoot, I like something on my feet.
