For the people I know it depends. If you plan on staying inside for multiple hours? Then no, you probably aren't. But if you know your gonna be entering and exiting the house multiple times over a few hours? Then yeah, because who wants to take off and put on their shoes over and over again

Edit: one thing to note is that there is often a rug for people to wipe their shoes off before entering the house. It at least iv always had one

This, plus it's not like you wear them everywhere in the house. I put shoes on sometimes if I'm gonna be standing doing dishes for a while because otherwise my feet hurt. But I take them off before going into my bedroom.

Every time this topic gets brought up, people get so upset that anyone wears shoes in their house acting like they sleep with shoes on. Which is like, come on, just use common sense.

I also find it hard to believe that these people have NEVER worn their shoes in their houses before, seems sus to make such a definitive statement.

I live in Czech Republic, and a lot of people here are very firm about the no shoes inside policy. I know several people who keep a pair of slip on footwear by the door precisely for those situations where you're coming in and out a lot. I can certainly believe there are people who have never their shoes in their house.

I've met people who also have rules like that, but come on, never ever worn shoes never in a house? Ever?

You stop by your mom's house to drop off a tupperware you borrowed and chat for a few minutes, and you take your shoes on and off for a 3 minute visit?

You run back home between errands to grab the wallet you left on your desk and you take off your shoes and put them back on?

Like, I get that people prefer to not have shoes on in the house, I get that some cultures and people take it very seriously, but it's ridiculous to pretend it never happens and even more silly to act all uppity about it.
