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?

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.

Most northern/eastern European countries?

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