“Not walking around in socks” in the home would be a great problem for the people in Canada and very cold climates.
I know whenever I visit Montrealin the winter,
it is absolute etiquette and almost a RULE to remove your boots or
shoes when entering someones house…so that you don’t drag the snow, salt and dirty slush into the house. I can’t imagine that all the thousands of people who do this would be breaking Halacha.
