nope. many other countries have the same policy of taking your shoes off when entering a house. for example i live in the U.K i was raised to take off my shoes when entering a house (and assuming i have slippers, either on me or already there i would put those on) it’s for the same reason that many households will have doormats. it’s to prevent people from tracking dirt into a house
It really depends, or at least in my (european) country. I know some person who ask to leave their shoes where some other doesn’t care at all. In my case, if I go outside I keep the shoes up to the night, if I stay at home I just use tong or espadrille as house shoes.
Their own house, probably not. When visiting someone else’s house… might depend on how well they know the person, how long they’re staying, and how clean the place looks. As well as the other person’s preference.
Also, it’s been a LARGE while since we’ve seen some Doris action. Though, we’re gonna get (within the story) 6 months worth of it soon enough (and honestly, maybe 6 months in the real world depending on how many pages are spent on that period)
If I don’t need to go outside for any reason, I’ll walk around with no shoes. If I had to go out, like for grocery shopping, and come back and the shoes aren’t dirty, chances are I’ll keep them on until that night when I go for a shower.
Shoes or no shoes simply depends on what I do that day.
I never understood how some people can wear their shoes in the house all the time. It feels so uncomfortable to me. I don’t particularly like going without socks inside either though, so I don’t know. Just what one is used to I guess.
Dito, the thought alone to wear shoes inside a house baffles me. Especially if your shoes are still wet from rain, full with dirt or even worse. I usually switch to comfy slippers, which are only for in-house use, so they stay clean. Sometimes I also go with socks only. In summer though, there are my summer slippers. Bare food leaves sweat behind, which can accumulate.. Okay, maybe it is just me thinking like this.
It’s not a Japanese thing to take your shoes off, but that doesn’t mean that every household does it. It’s probably more likely in carpeted houses, compared to houses with a wooden or tiled floor. Maybe it’s just so common in Japan that they are known for it.
It totally is a Japanese thing to do it, actually. Unless your family didn’t raise you normally, the proper etiquette is to take off your shoes and line them up facing away from the elevated floor. You’re right though, about circumstances. Carpeted and wooden/tiled floors call for different action (though where I come from, I’ve never seen a house where people wear their shoes inside

Everybody in Europe: "No Kevin… why would you … Just no"
facepalms
As a person who lives in Europe, I can. say this is true
It’s very common where I live in Europe to just keep shoes on inside, unless it’s carpeted or it had been raining.

Wait until we get to the Laboratory Kevin, then you might see something that looks sciencey, but, this is just house at this point.
do people in America normally walk around their house with shoes on?
Their own house, probably not.
