In cultures like Korea and Japan, taking off your shoes at home is a long-standing tradition. I'm curious about how this practice varies across different regions and households in the fediverse.

How does your household handle shoes indoors?

61% Everyone takes shoes off (strict).
23% Family takes shoes off; guests keep them on.
14% Everyone wears shoes/outdoor footwear.

@bjoernstaerk @hongminhee Sometimes a host might say that a guest doesn't need to take off their shoes, because it's a short visit. The guest should still take off their shoes.

The formal party shoes is often something one bring along, except maybe when it is summer and the weather is nice.

Me: how come you don't take your shoes off?
US friend: *looks around* our streets are not full of dog shit
