I just said I take my shoes off in general if I can as I hate wearing shoes. But no, I’m not throwing my shoes off at the door as soon as I come in the door. It’s not a priority

And yes, if going into another’s home and they ask to take shoes off, by all means. Most people don’t ask that here though because most don’t have that rule for themselves. Some do though.

I like how it's brought as tradition when - at least here - it's just a matter of caring about it or not  The few posts here in the past hour or so are already more than all the talk/discussion I've ever had about this in my entire life

In Greenland they probably wear as much clothing as they can at all times
