You don’t anymore.
When did the great shoes-off thing creep into British homes?It wasn’t a thing when I was growing up.
That said, we never really had too many guests, and those that did come had a habit of entering through the back door, rather than the front, and of staying in the kitchen and avoiding the front room which seemed to be reserved for guests, Christmas and perhaps the Queen if she chose to drop by..Taking off your shoes inside the home is a very normal thing in China, Russia, Korea, Japan and many other countries.As is washing your hands the moment you enter the house.
In many countries, outdoor shoes are swapped for slippers; homes are designed to accommodate this, with guest slippers in the hallway..Shoes are a big source of dirt and bacteria, so it’s often recommended to take them off when you enter your home.
This is especially important if you have little ones crawling around or if you’re pregnant, as both groups are more susceptible to sicknesses..
In some places (like Japan), it’s considered bad manners to walk around in your shoes indoors, so it’s always a good idea to check the etiquette of the place you’re visiting before you go.If you’ve had a Sebo before or know someone who does, you probably already know which model you want.
