Ep 100 - A Cultural Guide to Why Australians Remove Shoes (or Don't) at Home

from Living in Australia

In this episode, we explore the mixed culture around wearing shoes indoors in Australian homes. Unlike some countries with strict no-shoes rules, Aussie households vary widely depending on upbringing, cleanliness preferences, and cultural background. We discuss when it's polite to remove your shoes, how to read social cues when visiting someone's home, and why migrants may find this confusing. Whether you're hosting guests or visiting others, this episode helps you navigate this subtle but important aspect of everyday Australian etiquette.
