Carpets are absolutely gross. Any smooth surface flooring is much more sanitary.

Washable rugs. EDIT: Also house slippers, and sandals that you choose to only wear indoors for cleanliness.

I would rather staple my eyelids open and watch LiveLeak footage nonstop than imprison my feet for any longer than I have to

I wear flip flops in the house (that I never wear outside, outside shoes stay near the door). No foot prison + no cold floor contact.

I'd rather wade through pig shit than wear any kind of shoes in my own damn house.

I would rather remove my own spleen than be in the same room as any footwear that could be described as slipper-like

Genuinely curious. Why the aversion to wearing slippers in your own house? What do you find so offensive about that?

u/JManKit 7h ago

I wear slippers all the time (don't need that plantar fasciitis acting up) but the idea of wearing legit shoes (e.g. sneakers, runners) is deeply uncomfortable. Even if they've never been outside and were cleaned off coming out of the box, it just feels wrong to wear them indoors. I think sandals are slightly less discomforting but I still wouldn't want to do it

Yea, I understand. About shoes, I agree. I don't know why anyone would wear shoes in their house. Shoes anyway give problems and deform feet. Wearing good slippers/flip-flops, though is okay. Barefoot is the best.

The only slippers that don't disintegrate after a year of non stop use are crocs. And I'm sure as hell not wearing those 24/7.

I don't know where you are, but good quality flip-flops last years and they are open, so one's feet is not trapped inside, like in a shoe. There is nothing about Crocs that inherently makes them durable. It's all about the material quality, regardless of the type of footwear.

Dude is buying 5 dollar flip flops and then gets mad when they don't last. I've had flip flops last many years. I can't remember the last time I actually had some break.

German?

Most northern/eastern European countries?

Also at the very least Japan, but I'm willing to bet multiple southeast countries as well.

And loud as hell. Input carpets back in the bedrooms, holy cow did that change how loud the house was!

Same. I did all expensive hardwood through the entire house for cleanliness and aesthetics reasons. And afterwards I felt like you couldn’t have a private bedroom conversation or …anything… anymore. And instantly regretted it. Tried to get over it. Didn’t get over it.

Ended up carpeting the bedrooms and the office. I don’t have pets, or kids that live with us, and we don’t wear shoes in the house.

Most of the house is hard wood floors. But the bedrooms are clean, high quality, comfortable carpets.

And I wouldn’t want it any other way.

u/JManKit 7h ago

I think carpeting bedrooms is a nice touch. It's just lends a more homely, comfy feel to a space that's all about rest and relaxation. The more high traffic areas being hard wood makes sense as they'll hold up better and be easier to clean

u/fuckimtrash 2h ago

Fr, mum’s house is entirely hard wood flooring and I can hear *everything*. Will never live in a home where there’s hard wood flooring near the bedrooms

Not with underfloor heating

People call me crazy for this, but feeling the ice cold floor of my bathroom under my bare feet is such a bliss to me, especially when I need to piss at night.

Wear house slippers?

Good for summer though.

u/btroycraft 3h ago

Just get an area rug. You can take those outside and actually wash them.
