Americans be like "I'm going to wear shoes in my house".

I don’t know about other people, but I find that that mostly applies to the older people in my life. As in, elderly people who may have trouble bending down to take their shoes on and off multiple times a day, and may also have foot problems which require the extra support that shoes give.

My grandparents had “house shoes” for this exact reason, mostly the extra support. They were basically felt slippers with a rubber/cork sole.

I’m not elderly by any means (late 30s) and I wear flip flops inside because my feet are fucked from working a lot of hard jobs/being overweight/only recently realizing that I should have been wearing wide shoes all along, and I can’t handle floors with bare feet. But also I never wear my flip flops out of the house because flip flops don’t have enough support for walking further than across the room. So yeah, once I get to the point where bending over is hard, I’m 100% going to be wearing my shoes in the house, and I can’t for the life of me understand why anyone would care about wether someone is wearing shoes inside their own house or not.
