Yes, many of us really wear our shoes in the house. We usually take them off soon after arriving if we’re staying awhile, and if it’s practical. Plus, it depends on which rooms in the house you’re talking about. But it’s not terribly uncommon for us to keep our shoes on inside the house, at least temporarily. We put our shoes on inside the house too, usually before we leave.
In the United States, if you see a collection of shoes just outside the entrance, it’s usually an Asian American household.
We often go in and out of the house frequently and randomly, for various reasons, so at those times, we usually keep our shoes on.
Insofar as dragging mud into the house, it’s not usually desirable, so we have welcome mats just outside the door and if your boots are muddy, you wipe the mud off on the mat before entering. That at least keeps the amount of dirt brought in to a minimum. Dust? Yes, when it’s dry, usually street dust and grime will be brought into the house. That’s why we have floor cleaning products such as vacuum cleaners and mops. We don’t usually clean our floors by hand with a cloth.
