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

Midwest EU when visiting someone’s house.

X: you guys take your shoes off in the house?

Y: yeah but it’s ok, I’m cleaning later on anyway.

Or

Y: Yes please, I just cleaned.

We were shoes on when I was growing up, but I am very staunchly shoes off as an adult.

I feel weird when I visit someone and they have me keep my shoes on.

I must ask the shoes on people: at what point in the house do the shoes get removed?

I’d expect that you wouldn’t want them in the bedroom or bathroom, getting gravel or dirt in bed. Is it that the main living room for entertaining guests is shoes on, and shoes off is for personal rooms? Or do you have a specific set of indoor shoes? Or do your outdoor shoes go everywhere?

Got dogs , humans take shoes off but irrelevant compared to dirt dogs track in

As an American, I don't believe I've ever been in someone's home that allows me to wear my shoes indoors unless I am only on non-carpeted floor, and/or not staying long.

People don't like other people dragging shit on the bottom of their shoes into their living spaces. 

We have shoes, flipflops, and crocs piled inside the front door. If that doesn't give you a clue...

Shoes off, eh.

I'm really not sure about Australia. If you live up north you barely ever even wear shoes.if you live on a farm you better kick off those filthy gummies before you step in the house. If you're a tradie, you'd better kick off those filthy Blundstones before you walk in. If you live in the suburbs, it's a coin flip either way.

Sandals when I'm inside. On rare occasions I'll wear socks and house shoes, but that's usually when I'm cleaning floors or something wet.

Uk definitely isn't a "wearing shoes inside the house" country unless their house has floors so genuinely dirty that you're better off not collecting detritus

Yeah I converted to shoes off. It just keeps the floor cleaner and you're more comfortable in the home

Our house is not as clean as I want it, but, if we wore shoes in the house it would be way worse. We have a family member that lives next door and is constantly walking around our house with shoes and it drives me nuts. If they weren't so helpful I'd say something.

Here in Hawai'i, we shoes off. I grew up in Florida where wearing shoes inside was normal. Now, after living in a shoes off culture, I'm sensitive to it. Like I get bothered when I see people on TV with shoes on and putting their feet up on things. Outside is nasty and you're putting that nastiness on your coffee table?!

It's always baffled me that people are comfortable with shoes on inside.

Well this makes me more proud to be a Canadian.

Buuut, I’m noticing a pattern. If it’s a very dry country then I guess you have less chance of mud and are more likely to wear your shoes inside.

American here. My childhood home was completely covered in thick carpet, except the entryway and the kitchen, which was laminate tile. Yes, even the bathroom was carpeted. My bedroom literally had shag carpet.

My family always wore shoes indoors. And then wondered why the carpet was discolored, worn, and tearing in places.

I spent 20 years traveling the world after becoming an adult and learned about many other cultures who took off shoes before entering homes. Now I feel weird wearing shoes even in the entryway.

By the way, I'm retired now and living back in my childhood home, which I inherited when my father passed away. The whole place has been re-carpeted, the bathroom and dining room floors have been swapped out for laminate/wood paneling, and when I get around to remodeling the living rooms, I'll probably switch them to wood floors as well.
