I think a lot of the countries that wear slippers got classified as “shoes on”. I have family in the Caribbean and South America who wear slippers, but never their outdoor shoes.
In my opinion they should be called “shoes off” or at least their own category to differentiate from places that would track mud and gravel throughout their house
Although the map seems wrong altogether, simply because you will find different areas in the same country having different ways, this is one part that makes quite a bit of difference.
More urban areas might have a shoes on culture, specially depending upon how the room is designed.
I mean there are schools having outdoor and indoor shoes, both of which are proper shoes, so going just by the word meaning would make it wrong too.
Came to ask this question.
I have crocs for warm weather and cozy slippers for the cold weather. They stay by the door so I can put them on right when I get home.
Honestly it’s the best system. This coming from someone who was shoes-on most of my life.
I switch to slippers when inside.
What does that count as?
Shoes off
And what of those cases when I go barefoot?
Shoes offer.
Are you wearing shoes?
Yeah, but now I’m not wearing slippers either so…
Is it really the same!?
Shoes are not Slippers.
That’s like calling a car a boat.
Yes
