That's funny because, thinking back on it, I'd say about 90% of my friends and family were shoes on.

Perhaps it's regional. I grew up in the South East, for reference. Not London, but in one of the surrounding counties.

Grew up in the UK, in a "shoes on" household. We just gave them a good scrape on the doormat when coming inside.

Since then, I've lived in a few different countries and am 100% converted to the shoes off way of being. I agree it's much better.
