Shoes indoors?

I was shocked to learn a while back that Americans wear shoes indoors. Is this true?

Up here it's a given that shoes are for outside and when you go in you take them off.

I never wear shoes indoors, and if people come into my house and wear shoes, I find it disrespectful.

Is this true?

yes and no.

At My house its no big deal to wear your shoes. But Many people I know don't where shoes in their house.

Depends on the individual. My boyfriend wears shoes indoors and out. He only takes them off if they're really dirty. I prefer barefoot, however. Come summer, I'll only wear shoes when it's required of me. I don't like people wearing shoes in my house, though, because they track water all over my floors, and I hate stepping in it barefoot.

i rarely ever take off my shoes

i have DM's so usually once they're laced up in the morning they stay that way till i go to bed

i only know one person who asks for shoes to be taken off, but then again he does have a bloody nice house. (and his parents intend it to stay that way

)

if door mats are used then theres no real mess

I do not wear shoes in my house. I'll go either in my socks, barefoot, or in my slippers, but never wear shoes.

I'm American, and I never wear shoes inside. Socks rule.

I wear shoes all the time except when I am showering and sleeping. I live in a very cold house.

I take my shoes off whenever I go into my house or someone else's house.

I'm supposed to at my house but I just don't most of the time. When I do I break out my slippers.

I see it a lot in movies. I don't know anyone that does. It's not common up here, but I was talking to my friend who went to visit family in the US and asked him if Americans wear shoes indoors and he said where he stayed they did.
