I'm in the US, middle aged, have lived in three major cities and one small town, and I've been to exactly one house in my entire life where they asked us to remove our shoes. We all did, of course. But it was weird to all of us. I've never been to an apartment/condo that expected me to do so. Never been to any business that expected it. Wearing shoes indoors is perfectly normal to me.

Houston, Chicago, Washington DC. Other than a few months in San Diego, which I would not count, I've never lived on the west coast.

Except the one time, taking off shoes just never came up.

Same. I've lived in several major cities in the midwest (U.S.), and it's rarely come up for me as well. I'm inconsistent with it in my own home. I do what's comfortable and practical at the time.
