Anyone who has visited Dutch homes may encounter a wide variety of rules when it comes to shoes. In some homes, the hassle of removal is not considered worth the benefit of clean floors. In others, each resident owns multiple pairs of just-for-at-home shoes – one pair of slippers for indoors, one pair of clogs for the garden and others for the street. As a guest, navigating this sea of footwear rules can be challenging. Luckily, in most homes, guests are only required to wipe their feet, s’il vous plaît.
