Here in Scandinavia, it's very rare to wear shoes inside. That's probably because most of the year the weather requires shoes that aren't practical inside and you want to leave your filthy wet shoes at the door and not bring the mess inside. Some people wear some kind of slippers at the office but mostly it's just socks.
I find wearing shoes for the whole day extremely uncomfortable.
But it's unlikely that you could sue anyone if you step on a tack either.
- magic_beans 9y agoPeople wear socks in the office?? In NYC it's similar in winter -- people keep light flats or flip flops on their desk and trade snow boots for those during the day.
- exDM69 9y agoYes, almost everyone at my office walks on socks and it's very common elsewhere too. Some guys have flip flops. It's basically everywhere indoors here, if you get invited to someone's home, you leave your shoes at the door and go with socks. It's not the same for suit & tie jobs, they usually wear shoes. Or if there's a more formal party at someone's house.
