Here in Germany it’s custom to change into slippers or “house shoes” at the front door. We have extra house shoes for guests or when we call on friends and family we take our slippers with us. Keeps the house clean and feels cosy! x

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Oh, I love that 🤭 definitely creates a more cozy situation 🏠

[@helenaandrews2567]

Love it! ❤️

[@auntdracula3386]

It's the same thing in Poland, actually it would be awfully impolite to walk into someone's house in your outside shoes

[@mikaylakarl6871]

I love this! Does it ever become inconvenient when you forget things as your leaving? I have to go back into the house at least three times before I actually leave 😆 so would you take your shoes off everytime?

[@Claudia_K.]

@@mikaylakarl6871 Yes, it’s also okay to go on socks. Since underfloor heating isn’t so common, you do make sure to bring slippers or extra socks. x

[@lsager1970]

Re: removing shoes in the house, totally normal and keeps your home much cleaner. In Canada we remove our outdoor shoes immediately in our own homes and everyone else’s too, all 4 seasons as well.

[@angelameadows1889]

Definitely remove shoes in the house. When I worked in the microbiology lab, the most microbe filled objects were shoes and purses. They were MUCH worse than cell phones, door handles and even bathrooms. Have a great Fall season!

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

🤢 yikes!!! Good to know!

[@britneywereley3688]

In Canada where I live everyone I know does no does in the house. Have the shoe rack at the door like you set up today. We also have a little basket of slippers near the door ✨

[@emscoffeeshop]

A Monday dose of Allison + a pinch of autumn…what else could you want? ☕️🍂 I hope you, Brandon and Palmer have the most beautiful week 🧡

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Thank you so much, sweet Emily! I hope you & yours have a wonderful week as well 🥰

[@karlavedder3139]

Your bread looks beautifully fabulous!!! I love your Dutch oven.

[@emilytorres5094]

Yes to the no shoes inside the house! I grew up in a Hispanic household and never understood why my mom made me take my shoes off!! I used to work at at frozen yogurt shop and little kids would have accidents or even throw up outside the store and people would pass by it!! Then the thought of them going home and wearing shoes in the house made me really sick haha. Now I’m a firm believer in no shoes inside 🤪

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Oh my 🤢 you are definitely convincing me. It truly makes sense when you think about it!!! 🤎

[@carolrodenbeck2381]

I wish we had always had a "no outdoor shoes in the house" rule, but we have been doing this for the past 10 years and best decision ever!! I love your videos ... you live such a mindful life. Take care and God bless you, Brandon and Palmer!

I love how Allison makes the little things so beautiful! 🤍

[@geriv1582]

Your videos bring me such joy!!

[@nancydroge7682]

Here’s to Autumn Inspiration in so many beautyFall ways!!! Allison, you truly have me up, & out & about embracing the season to the fullest! Your shoe rack is a treasure as it’s both functional & adorable… not to mention a perfect fit! I could smell your chili & bread bowls all of the way here in Michigan! Beautiful! The almonds looked like a perfect treat to bring to a fall gathering! What an inspiring video! Thank you, Allison!

[@addier8075]

I just absolutely LOVE your videos! They’re always so wholesome and aesthetic 😍

[@chalkycharles991]

Happy Fall 🍁🍂

[@chloebrownart]

Thank you for a cosy vlog 🍂 Such fall vibes 🥰

[@sydyeon]

I literally never go out of my way to comment on videos but I just had to let you know how much I look forward to your videos-they just bring me such a sense of peace and calm and they’re the perfect way for me to start my day off on the right note. So thank you!!

[@Liam421Liam]

Just what I needed on this Monday! I do wear “outside” shoes in the house, but generally only if I’m about to leave or if I just get home.

[@dikshaarora6958]

Oh my gosh never heard of someone celebrating autumnal equinox that is such a beautiful idea 🧡

[@operacionanaconda]

Perfect cozy vlog as always!! 😊🍁🍂🦋

[@jkubek1116]

Perfect vlog for a rainy and cold Monday here in Chicago. ❤️💕

[@azaleas6492]

This video was so amazing to watch. I was definitely feeling the cozy vibes!! 😊😊❤️❤️ 🍁 🍁 Happy Fall everyone!!

[@nancyk777]

I just love your cozy videos they are the highlight of my day! I'm so excited for Fall. Regarding shoes in the house, my parents were from Europe so we always had a no outside shoes in the house rule. We wear slippers in the house. I feel like it keeps the house cleaner and it's more comfy. Have a beautiful week!

[@paulinaenns4101]

I’ve been loving the cozy fall content! You truly are such an inspiration!🍂🤎

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Thank you so much, Paulina! Glad you enjoy 🍄

[@lorastrotherLoraLovesLife]

Allison, I love my yard and landscaping and you have inspired me to try some gardening, too! I love how you have welcomed Autumn and filled me with lots of inspiration from all your Fall videos. I grew up wearing “NO shoes in the house”, and I have continued that throughout my lifetime. I like the idea of leaving “the world” outside and keeping my home fresh and clean. It truly helps to quickly slip off my shoes as I enter the back door. I have always been barefoot and free inside. I don’t even need slippers or socks, unless the temperatures fall so low they are needed. Your soup bread bowls looked wonderful! I tried a stuffed pepper stew last week and I am definitely ready for all the chili and stew recipes I can find! Great video! Blessings! TFS

[@alondarivera3670]

[@sharonc1326]

The Secret Garden is one of my all time favorites! A classic! I recently gave a copy to my neighbor who has the most beautiful garden beds I can see from my front door. She loves the book as I knew she would! I jokingly said I expected a book report. I love it when you share your books along with everything else Allison! 🌸

[@ntese22]

Thank you for posting on Monday's. I always take my lunch break at 11:30am knowing that there will be a new Allison video up :) They are relaxing and artfully done. I live in Jacksonville, FL and love seeing our weather represented in your vlogs. keep up the great craftsmanship in your work. much love!!

Thank you so much for this Allison! I was having a hard day... and your vlog really is a ray of sunshine. Or should I say an Autumn Breeze of good things to meditate on. 🍁

[@clarissa6075]

For the past two years, my family and I have implemented that rule of no outside shoes in our house, and definitely no shoes at all in any bedrooms that have carpet. It is the best thing! The floors stay so much more cleaner, you don't feel too gross stepping on floor because we only use house slippers. I def recommend! :) Love your videos btw! So excited for this beautiful season with you!

[@SuperRaymusic]

That chilli looks incredible! You have so many talents and I love your positive perspective on life! Also, your home is so beautiful.

[@tristamatyus3368]

Canadian here, we never wear shoes in the house. I’ve never understood the concept on why people wear outdoor shoes in their house and walk all over the place with dirty foot ware. Just grosses me out lol we wear slippers and if I’m going to someone’s house I usually bring a pair of slippers with me! Love your videos!💗🍂🎃

[@lisarobbinson8835]

[@ashleygrimm6950]

Your house is so aesthetically pleasing.

[@adriellee]

Always shoes off inside the home, you don't want to be bringing the outside dirt inside your home. Think about all the places you go outside and step on (public restrooms) and just the thought of bringing all that dirt/germs inside is a no go! lol plus no shoes in the house give you a reason to buy cute slippers and fuzzy socks! Just makes your home feel cleaner when you don't wear shoes inside :)

[@jodidean4189]

Morning! We definitely take our shoes off before we come in. I love your bucket list, it gave me some ideas. Have an awesome day♥️

Yes, yes and yes! This is perfect. I am having a rainy day today and I love your home projects! You keep me busy at my home Allison!🤗💗🍁🍂 I started watching Gilmore girls because of you🤭🤭

[@ElianaRosalind]

A little late, but I've been catching up on videos and I can say, as a Romanian, the whole 'outside shoes in the house' is a custom I first saw on Disney Channel lol. We definitely change, either into slippers or stay in our socks/barefoot. I'd say the only instance when we go inside with ours shoes on is when we are about to go out and we've forgotten something thats close by

[@nataliedoll1350]

I love how you made different sized bread bowls - custom sized. Lovely. Blessed Fall!

[@nataliedoll1350]

I am not sure how to do this. Thanks sweetie!☺️

I have a dedicated pair of shoes for only in the house. I can’t wear slippers all day as they have no support. I love my Hey Dudes, they are the best for comfort ❤️

[@adriennehart7453]

I like the idea of no shoes in the house cause it definitely seems more sanitary and like the would keep the floors cleaner. But I have an indoor/outdoor dog and I’ve always wondered how to handle it with guests.

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Oh, true! Palmer doesn’t have shoes so he is always bringing stuff in 🤭😂 maybe I will make it a rule for Brandon and I but guests can do whatever!

[@hsoderberg6505]

I live in an apartment & the carpeting is in such rough shape I often feel it's not worth changing shoes, but I guess I shouldn't make it worse. When it rains our parking lot becomes an oil slick with all the leaky cars so on those days I don't. I like the idea of a seasonal activity list. I'm fortunate to live in a place with 4 distinct seasons & find the cooler temps of fall to be invigorating.

[@heatherishmaelmcarthur243]

In Canada we don't wear shoes in the house. Living in the US for over 25 years we do now but I will say when I had babies and they were going to be crawling on the floor no one could wear shoes in my house down here.

We don't use shoes inside but when guests come they can. I would like in the future to have some slippers to offer as they come in but for now, it's ok because we vacuum every other day and when we have guests we vacuum/wash the floors

[@EmilyRhinier]

No outside shoes in my home. Same as you, after I really thought about it, I couldn't keep wearing my outside shoes around my home. And for guests you can buy slippers, I get them from Amazon in packs, they are just like spa slippers, and keep them by the front door. For any workers, you can keep booties that they can put over their shoes 👍

Hi Allison, I stopped wearing shoes in my home ever since I had my first baby 32 years ago and she started crawling on the floors. We became a No shoes in the house household!! You are so right, because when you think of what you walk on outside, there are so many germs on the bottom of our shoes!! From men constantly spitting on the ground. To feces from animals to public bathrooms and what is on the floor around the toilet areas, to even pesticides we pick up on our shoes and bring back in our homes. Our floors stay so much cleaner, and everyone's shoes come off at the door!!
