    I have house shoes (that I only wear inside) because orthotics don’t fit in slippers

      Orthotics are probably no better than a placebo for some conditions.

      “Conclusions: Foot orthoses are not superior for improving pain and function compared with sham or other conservative treatment in patients with PHP.”

        After talking to my GP and talking to the specialist she recommended, this was the treatment plan that we decided on and it’s been working well. Thank you for your assumptions and condescension.

          Wasn’t intended to be condescending or even specifically about you. Sorry, thought that was clear as it’s only about a particular condition and you hadn’t mentioned what your condition was.

          Just something that I came across a while ago that I found interesting.

          Glad things are going well for you.

      Came here to say the same. I feel like “indoor shoes” are a lot more rare in places where you have a chance of tracking in snow

        What do you mean by that? (English is not my native language)

        We have a moderate amount of snow and relatively long winters here. Most people wear indoor shoes (slippers, Crocs etc) when inside, at least in their own home. At guests we either get them from the host or you walk on socks.

        What does the weather have to do with that?

    In Ireland it’s quite common to just wear your shoes indoor - never quite understood it myself.

      Irish here, have always worn shoes in the house. I moved to the US in my twenties and it seems to be about a 50/50 mix of shoes worn indoors or not. Personally, I’d be stubbing my toes all the time if I was only in socks.

    I have two sets of indoor slippers, so don’t really wear shoes inside per say… though one of the slippers does close around feet somewhat like a shoe.

    This is most common in the US. At any point, a policeman might barge into your house, shoot yout dog and start looking for something else to shoot. If you’re wearing shoes already, you’ve got a head start and a chance to live.

    You ever banged you toe on something, and you’re also telling me you never thought ‘this wouldn’t be a problem if I has shoes on’?

    Do you ever learn from your mistakes? /s

    I have bad plantar fasciitis so I wear special old person orthotic shoes. And most of my house is hardwood so generally if I’m on my feet I’ll wear my shoes inside to prevent foot pain.

    🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s not like I don’t wipe my feet off on the doormat rug

      You’re the only guy I understand here. The plantar fasciitis can definitely be painful without the shoes/orthotics. But for me, even that can’t negate the discomfort of being constrained in hot sweaty shoes all day

    I’ll say that I don’t usually wear shoes in the house, but it’s also a lost cause since I have two big dogs.

    I cannot, for the life of me, imagine wearing outside shoes in the house. I live quite close to a major US city, in what I’d describe as a semi urban dense suburb. There is rabbit shit on every square inch of green space.
