How is it ok to lie on a white coach with your muddy shoes is completely beyond me.

Wearing shoes in the house is psychopath behavior

Why is the US shoes on? So not the norm anywhere I've lived.

It's as if by living in a nordic country I didn't want to bring the dirt and snow inside my home. Curious.

In The Netherlands, within my social circles, it's mostly seen as overly informal and quite intimate to take off your shoes.

You can do it at friends, but certainly not by default at acquaintances (unless they ask), as it might even be a little disrespectful considering taking off your shoes could smell a bit after some hours. Like you force your bodily odours or sweaty feet on to someone's house.

I totally get the opposite and am noticing a slow shift (also in my own house) to dropping the shoes. But it's interesting to see that both stances are based on some form of respect, and perhaps also some pragmatism on our side.

This chart is a hate crime against colorblind people.

Guests take precedence. That's my cultural position. Otherwise, I do whatever I want in my home and clean up after as habit, regardless. Sometimes I wear shoes.

Sometimes my feet can be really smelly. I hate it when I go to someone's house where they expect me to pull my shoes off. Yes, odor eater powder helps, but I never know if removing my shoes is going to knock them out. Especially in the summer. It is better to just never go to other people's houses.

I do not understand shoes on in the house. Like when youre sitting on the couch? Shoes on? Why? Also doesn’t your shit get all dirty?

Walk around barefoot outside - nothing left to discuss.

I wear house shoes in the house. What does that make me?

Japan is a shoes-off country, but they often have slippers that they wear indoors. They just change their shoes like Mr. Rogers, but with less singing.

Where I live it's very rare and unusual to be asked to remove your shoes when going into someone's house. Normally you just brush your shoes on the front door mat and enter.

I feel like Australia is more of a shoes whatever place ..

Shoes off is both nicer and keeps the house cleaner. My family has always been on this side of things, except the folk in the Midwest, so I don’t care if this gets me on a list somewhere. What? Are gonna send ice to deport me?

This is bullshit every house I go to for all my friends in USA is shoes off..lol what?

Shoes on at home

Shoes off on the street or in the shops

UK shoes on? Not a chance! I've never met a person who is a shoes on person. Unless you count indoor slippers as shoes...

Boomer from Hamilton , Ontario, Canada, and growing up it was probably 70% shoes ON in my parts...lots of kids, in and out constantly. Obviously, snow and mud were exceptions. The 30% shoes OFF homes were the outliers...

It wasn't until my late teens that I started to notice a shift, personally and societally, to shoes OFF.

Nowadays, even if the host *insists* that I keep my shoes ON, it doesn't feel right, so I tend not to.

France should be "shoes off". Never seen a French person who kept their shoes on in the house.

Shoes on in the house is gross. So is bare feet. Wear socks or slippers.

UK is generally shoes off from everything I've seen but ok then
