Why do some people wear shoes in their homes?

Do all Japanese people not wear shoes in the house?

  • Do all Japanese people take their shoes off in the house or are there a few lazy renegades who wear their shoes in the house and don't care? Do most Japanese people take their shoes off even when they are just running in real fast to get something?

  • Answer:

    Basically all Japanese people take off shoes in a house. Addition: >Even the ones from horrible families where their parents are drunk all the time? Even the hardened criminals? I don't know why you think those people don't take off shoes. But yes, those "criminals" take off shoes in Japan.

Yeah it happens. But you need to be a really nasty criminal. Like it's taboo to do your dad in the west. Though it happens.
