Do you take your shoes off before walking in the house? Do you expect your guests to?

Im being told in the USA most people wear their shoes in the house?

would you normally take your shoes off before going into somebody's house.

In the US somebody might steal your shoes if left outside. I leave them inside the door.

Yes and Yes

growing up in Hawaii, but i think its mostly and asian culture thing, but everyone takes their shoes off. Not to be a priss about hacking up floor, but for respect to not tract dirt around the house. But always get stank feet, and an odd smell lurking near the door. Especially when someone puts their feet up on furniture. Even in "Haole" people's house when they leave their shoes on, still take um off.

of course you should take off your shoes and i expect my guests to aswell...people who wear shoes in the house are dirty ...who wants a dirty floor? would you let your kid crawl on a floor where everyone walks around with their shoes on? you can usually tell when walking in to someone's house if they wear their shoes its usually filthy, im european and we do not wear our shoes in the house in most of europe you definitely must take off your shoes..
why would you want to wear shoes anyways???

I'm Chinese so in Chinese culture you always take off your shoes. When I go over to a friend's house, if I don't take off my shoes, I feel weird walking around a house with shoes on.

Also imagine how dirty the bottom of your shoes are. All that unthinkable stuff on the bottom.
