I wear boots until the [Mark May] I gotta do for the day gets done. I'm not unlacing them to get a [censored]ing bottle of beer out of the fridge, then lacing them back up to go outside and do some more [Mark May]. [censored]in' women. :roll1:

Exactly. Next thread let's discuss how cold the toilet seat is when you sit down to pee in the middle of the night.

So, those who take off their shoes before entering the house are squat-pissers, but those who whine about having the unlace/relace their boots to get a beer are real men? Gotcha, Sasquatch...

I don't like walking around barefoot. Maybe that goes back to the craphole apartment that I lived in during and shortly after college. I usually wear my shoes upstairs after work and then change into Crocs or flip-flops depending on how cold it is. I don't wear my work or athletic shoes around the house unless I'm going someplace or haven't changed after work.
I always hate visiting people that make you take your shoes off when you walk in their house.

You do know there are exterminators that can take care of a nasty roach problem.

Get winded bending over to reach your boot laces?

Yeah, but not footwear from outside, right?

No formal policy here, but I usually kick my shoes off at the door, or head up to my room and leave them there. The instant I hit the door things I haven't thought about all day immediately drive me bonkers - shoes, jewelry, any scratchy or uncomfortable clothes. G'bye!

If the slippers can't be found cuz the new puppy has taken them, then outside shoes may stay on... else (on the tile floors) the socks and the backyard red dirt become the same color... (on the rugs) black socks become total fur magnets...

Doesn't matter how often the floors are cleaned... and I assure you... our floors are cleaned and carpets professionally done... more than any of you would ever even consider... they're collies... nuf said

I just watched a commercial for the Clean Step Mat and thought, "Why don't you just take your fucking shoes off at the door?" I know it was common that everyone wore shoes in the house when I was a kid ('60s-'70s), but after I went to Japan for seven years ('76-'83) where they never wear shoes in the home, it seemed more and more Americans were also getting into the habit of not wearing "outside" footwear in the house. Does anyone wear shoes in their home anymore?

I stopped wearing shoes in my home as soon as I bought one.

Seriously. I didn't spend a week last summer putting in hardwood floors to beat them up (they probably could take it, though). Also, like exhawg, I'm a large man who wears crocs. They are awesome slippers, and you can get the mail in them. You'll look like a twit doing it, but they are so damn comfortable...

I have "critters", but I like to go bare foot most of the time.
The heated floors(tile throughout) help a lot in the comfort department. Heated floors are lovely in the winter!
When visiting friends I usually leave my shoes at the door.
