If you are an asian child, heaven forbid there be shoes in your house. Slippers is the way to go. (I'm biased, as you can probably tell)
But to be fair, why would you go barefoot in a house? Like, this question has kept me up at night. I suppose because it's convenient? The amount of dust your feet pick up, not to mention the coldness of the floor would make it extremely uncomfortable...? And my asian mother has always preferred hardwood floor to carpet (hardwood is easier to clean).
However, the one disadvantage of using asian slippers...they double as a weapon. You will inevitably get smacked with a asian slipper (or chancla for Mexicans) one day. Try to avoid being on the receiving end. Oh, and they are extremely fun to throw at your siblings. ;p
