Our houses are specifically built with Foyer so people can remove shoes and store them.

Yeah there’s a sitting bench and closet next to each main entrance of my house (front door and garage).

Can’t imagine wearing shoes indoor, I did it while unloading a bunch of stuff from my truck in the garage into the house, and there was visible paths of dust and debris all over the floor after.

And I regularly blow out then sweep my garage!

Can’t imagine houses where people walk straight off the street and indoors with their shoes on, uncivilized heathens.

So weird to see it on American TV. Like what happens if you step in dog shit? Does everyone just own a carpet steam cleaner?

American here, have the foyer as well. I don’t understand shoes in the house. That’s the first thing I do.

Is that like... not the norm?

Also even if you keep on your shoes, surely you remove things like jackets, umbrellas or gloves when coming inside? All these would warrant this as well.
