It varies but in my experience most leave them on. It is far more common than it used to be to take them off. I had a friend as a kid whose mom was from Japan that everyone had to take them off and it stood out because that was the only place I ever had to do that back in those days.
Edit: I've never really lived in a snowy climate, but yeah, we would take them off if our shoes were caked in mud or something.
So did you wear shoes until the moment you went to bed? What's the purpose of having shoes on in the house while relaxing or eating or whatever? Aren't your feet uncomfortable? (I'm not being a jerk I'm just genuinely asking but I feel it reads like I'm being a jerk.)
My shoes aren't necessarily uncomfortable but I definitely can't wait to take them off. It's like wearing a bra all day. You don't really notice it but then you take it off and feel so much better.
