    My feet get cold, so I wear shoes inside. If I go over to someone's place and they expect me to take my shoes off, I will, but I also am not gonna be trying to visit again after that, because I will literally be miserable and just waiting until I can politely leave the entire time, unless the floor is super warm (and it never is).

    That said, I also would never put my shoes up on someone's bed, because that's fucking gross. You keep your shoes on the floor.

      wool socks

      not like big fuzzy ones that are mostly padding and only 25% wool, but actual wool socks

      My feet get like 90% less blisters, they're warm when they need to be but wick sweat fine when they're hot, they don't wear out after like a year, etc. They are amazing.

      I don't call people out for wearing their shoes into my place usually but they objectively make my place dirtier and I don't love that. I do come from a part of the world where shoes have to be taken off when you come in for much of the year though because melting snow and road salt is really not something you want all over your floors

        I wear wool socks; it doesn't fix the problem, unfortunately. My indoor thermometer says it's 76 degrees Fahrenheit in here, but my hands and feet are cold, and I'm wearing socks and sneakers (I did eat some cold cereal not too long ago, but they've been pretty cold all day). I'm familiar with snow and road salt, but I usually just swap shoes when I get inside to deal with that.

          But I'm assuming you don't bring clean house shoes with you to other people's places? That's the issue

            There wasn't an issue; I took my shoes off as requested (and I'm pretty sure it wasn't snowy out either of the two times I can remember this happening to me, though it's been years so idk for sure). But I haven't been back to either person's place.

              yeah sorry, not trying to be callout-y I was just thinking in my life that would be a big issue because I go over to other people's places pretty often and the snow and road salt is pervasive like 5+ months of the year, and I would not go into anyone's house with snowy shoes, it just makes such a shitty mess to clean up. But if it works for you :vivian-shrug:
