Step Out of Your Shoes

Navigating the etiquette of entering someone’s home in a foreign country can be challenging. Should you keep your shoes on or take them off? In Sweden, it’s customary to remove your shoes upon entering someone’s home and when stepping into an office.

Specially designed shoe shelves known as “sko hylla” are situated beneath coat racks and are present in every home and office. The significance of this shoe-removal ritual is that having a stylish pair of socks is essential. We encourage you to “Rock your socks off!” – your choice of socks might become the center of attention.
