Okay, I got you wrong. Obviously it doesn't make sense if you take them out end step outside with your socks. I meant stepping inside as you take them out.
 
I wouldn't say there is specifically something "wrong" with it, it's just not the expected thing. I've never been to someones house and removed my shoes before crossing the threshold. Every house I've been either you haven't been expected to take your shoes off, or they had a mat inside/outside the door to wipe your shoes on, and then put them off to the side.

If you live in an apartment building or have a porch it's possibly different, but for a house where outside is outdoors (i.e exposed to rain) I'd say it's common to remove them inside.

The hell are you on, BW? We take the shoes off without stepping to the hallway because we step inside as we take them off. Neither side were wrong, there was no case to be lawyered.

To be honest, taking the shoes off and stepping outside with socks is stupid. What's the point?
 
There's a certain misunderstanding about the point I made, so to clarify: I don't take my shoes outside in the sense you talk about. That'd be silly. I take them out as I'm entering, leave them out as I enter then turn back and pick them up. I don't do the way Perun does it either, though. I never enter a house with shoes on, hallway or not.
 
You'll hate to hear this Flash, but that sounds quite Oriental to me nevertheless.
 
I didn't mean that as something negative anyway. But it's a difference in culture.
 
We store our shoes in the hallway, would be pretty pointless to take them off outside only to carry them inside anyway.

If it's raining, as your feet leave your shoes surely the insides of your shoes now get wet even if your feet don't?

Furthermore, how hard can it be to define "outside". I thought writing "IN THE HALLWAY" was pretty self-explanatory :/
