I never go barefoot in the house, even in the summer, but I have followed the Czech custom of immediately changing into house shoes (no outdoor ones in the house) since living with my husband. I'm American. We don't force guests to do so, but in Czech Republic no Czech would wear outdoor shoes inside. They'd rather go in socks, but most households, including ours, have "extra house shoes" to offer. Historically Czechs are adamant about thiso. Nowadays there's easing, but it used to be that Czech schools, many workplaces and some museums required shoe changes. My new psychiatrist here requires shoe changing, but that's less common.

I even wear socks to bed most of the time. I doubt that's common. I also have a weird "thing" about my feet, though I do wear sockless sandals in the summer.

What part of your body do you tend to take the best care of?
