Shoes on the main floor are ok but not upstairs

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.

I don't wear shoes in my own home. If I'm visiting your home, I'll follow your rules -- but tell me before I head over so I know if I need to wear my good socks.

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

I work from home and only really leave the house to go to the grocery store once every week or two. I wear shoes probably about fifty percent of the time, my feet will start to hurt if I don’t. I have two pairs of sneakers that are over five years old and a pair of boots that are almost twenty years old that I rotate. I think I must just live a lot different lifestyle than most folks.

Shoes on everywhere for me BUT it's Birkenstock type sandals indoors.

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

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?

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.

How the hell did Canada become a shoes off country when it's not only surrounded by shoes on but also both of its major contributing cultural influences (UK and France) are supposedly shoes on?

Shoes on at home

Shoes off on the street or in the shops

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

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. 

Hawaii?

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.
