you can.

Well, I do, but more often than not I wear
sandals or flip-flops when I'm indoors. I don't
usually wear shoes indoors, except at work,
where proper business etiquette (and the
dress code) dictate that I keep them on.

I can understand that some people live in cold
climates and can't go barefoot outside, but
wearing shoes AT HOME?!

What I find weird and unpleasant is going
barefoot indoors in the winter. For some
reason, even when the heat is on full blast, my
feet freeze. We're talking icicles here. I'll wear
shoes around the house in winter to avoid
this. (I've tried socks, and they just don't cut it.)

Also, when one goes around barefoot all day,
even indoors, the soles of ones feet get all
dirty and brown and really ought to be washed
before retiring to one's bedchamber for the
night. My wife does this, but I'd rather wear
sandals.
