Enter Someone’s Home With Your Shoes On

Ask first the host if it’s okay to enter with your shoes on, this is not a very strict rule, but a polite gesture really. Most people in Germany don’t wear shoes around the house, slippers are normally used. If it is a formal dinner for example, the rule does not apply. Unlike most homes in Asian countries, where removing the shoes is a traditional belief, it is more for practical reasons in Germany. The practice varies from house to house. And most are used to having this practice awkward for tourists, especially a guest to their home, so most times it will not be required. Just ask to make sure. It will also show that you respect their home and traditions.
