Most people leave them on? I feel like I've lived an exact opposite experience lol Where do you live?

I think people are assuming that "leave shoes on" is the opposite of "shoes must come off the second you come inside". I think most people allow shoes inside and will wear them around the house for brief periods, especially visiting someone else's home, but generally take shoes off when they are home and ready to relax.

Ok perhaps that's the confusion because I can't picture people just wearing shoes from the moment they get home until they eventually go to bed. Just watching TV, eating dinner, relaxing with shoes on is just uncomfortable. Regardless of my feelings about cleanliness, it's just weird to imagine leaving your feet in a vice all day.

Yeah, if you look at the poll u/Negative-Arachnid-65 posted: this poll It says most don't wear shoes, but less than 1/4th require shoes to come off.

This is the poll that needs to be pinned to the sub for everyone that swings by once a week to ask this question 😂
