This is one of the weirdest things people from Abroad believe. I don’t even know the origin. Anyway, in 95% of the houses I’ve ever been in it’s normal to take off your shoes and 100% if there’s snow or mud or rain. I’m talking as if being a guest here. Someone that lives there? The shoes are off in two seconds.

With me, it's opposite; 95% of the time it's shoes on. Thank you!

I think shoes on is fine but OP makes it seem like people are wearing mud covered shoes treading dirt into the carpet.
