    Nah, in the Netherlands I’d say 75% wears shoes indoor.

    We don’t have much carpets though. With carpets I’d totally get it.

      That’s why I said mostly. There are exceptions of course. I only tell people to keep their shoes on if the floor is too dirty and it wasn’t raining / snowing.

        Italy too, pretty much everyone that is know wears shoes indoors.

        Australia, it’s a bit more normal to ask if shoes should come off when visiting someone, as that might be their thing.

        Not just america
