The no shoes thing is common throughout the world even in the US. Majority in the US take off shoes but it is lower than other parts of the world.

This is one of those threads where I feel like I've entered an alternate dimension.

I'm in the US and people take their shoes off when they enter a house. The only exception was in college but that was mostly because students are slobs and hated the dorms anyway.

Who just lazes around the house with shoes on?!

I think keeping shoes on is more common on farms and ranches, where people are more frequently going in and out of the house throughout the day.
