File:Tradition_of_removing_shoes_in_home.svg

[edit]

Hello,

I would like to discuss your recent world map, which shows where it is or isn't a tradition of removing one's shoes off in the home. From what I know, in Hungary and Romania, it is customary to take off your shoes when entering a home (I have quite a few sources of my own). I figure that it's not much different in Moldova. I mean, they generally have slippers which they wear inside the home, but this isn't any different from the surrounding Slavic countries, and these slippers are not meant to be worn extensively outside, when going to work, when working in pasture/farmland, etc. Do you have a source backing up your claims? Otherwise, I do ask you to correct what I believe is inaccurate. Thanks! --Lisztrachmaninovfan (talk) 11:51, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comment. I knew that I didn't get them all right and was expecting corrections from users. --Stefán Örvarr Sigmundsson (talk) 19:53, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome. I know that it must be a big feat to create such a large map and look up every single country like that. Great work! --Lisztrachmaninovfan (talk) 20:13, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Papau New Guinea, Laos and Sri Lanka are countries that need to be highlighted to countries that have such tradition. The mentioned countries are South East Asian & South Asian, and they all have such practice. I am Malaysian. In fact it is offensive to wear shoes entering someone's home or places of worship. Some schools and offices also have a no shoe rule. The idea of wearing indoor slippers is also not as prevalent in these countries, as they generally view the home to be clean places therefore one shouldn't have an issue with going barefoot in one own's clean home. They also believe it is also healthier for the foot to be free from shoes or any constraints. I also believe that most countries that has Islam as their official religion, like Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Qatar, UAE and Afghanistan would have such practice, since Muslims have to take off shoes before entering places of worship or at home and many middle eastern homes are carpeted. I dont know how to change the map so I am reaching out to you, the creator of the map, to change it as it might confuse tourists especially on understanding the culture of the countries mentioned.

Done. Stefán Örvarr Sigmundsson (talk) 20:16, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The map info regarding Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania is wrong. Shoes are removed in Baltic countries. Kapsapää (talk) 08:48, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi in Azerbajian people take off shoes whenever entering to a home. (3 March 2019) — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 46.169.163.47 (talk) 13:40, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Stefán Örvarr Sigmundsson (talk) 19:36, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi in Kazakhstan people also take off their shoes whenever entering to a home. I would appreciate it if you could change it. Thank you very much!
