Try to wear slippers on non carpet to prevent hard skin under the feet.

I go barefoot in the house all the time, and I have dogs. It does make my feet black occaissionally though.

I try to wear shoes every second of the day I am not sleeping or showering. So no, I typically do not go barefoot on both carpet and non-carpeted floors.

I am one generation removed from being born in a rural New Brunswick farmhouse without running water and no indoor plumbing. I don't sweat a little grit underfoot.

You guys are weird. Bare feet on wood floors = normal and enlightened. Yes, I'm Asian, but that has nothing to do with it. Slippers, fine, I can handle that--but I'd never live like that. Life's way too short to be so stuffy in your own damned house.

Outside shoes indoors make me want to vomit. If you think your shoe soles are cleaner than your bare feet, I shudder to think of what you do to make them that way.

I generally don't wear shoes or a shirt when I'm at home.

Carpet (and rugs) are nasty. I usually go barefoot or wear flip flops around the house. I have hardwood and marble floors and while sometimes they may get dusty or dirty, they are cleaner than carpeting. I haven't lived in a place with carpeting in 8 years and I intend to keep it that way.

This. I simply can't imagine walking around the house in shoes. An old college friend's grandmother would knit like a maniac and made absolutely the most comfortable "footies" that she'd give away to everyone. They were delightful. Short of that or comfortable slippers, nothing.

This thread makes me feel sane.

I don't know how some people walk around on their carpets with the shoes that they wear around all day. I try not to wear them even inside the kitchen, but I'm alright with the linoleum because I can mop/sanitize it easily.

My GF laughs because she's Asian and I immediatly followed the Asian rule of no shoes without being asked. To me it comes down to hygiene, I keep my carpet nice and clean so that we can loung around on it without feeling mad dirty.

If I lived in giganto mansion with nice concrete or treated hardwood, I wouldn't mind shoes too badly. I think overall though, I'd prefer to have hardwood in my next place with rugs over full out carpet.
