A lot do, but also a lot don't. It's household by household.

I'll also mention that you can probably expect people who grew up in no-shoe households to have strong feelings about it.

My boomer parents have dedicated inside shoes for this purpose. When you get old and have hardwood floors you need the extra arch support and traction. Podiatrists recommend wearing shoes inside.

I think it's a USA thing. We don't wear shoes inside the house in Europe.

Could be, when I came to Canada and aome Canadians wore shoes in the house I was stunned. Like, it is just not right; Nevermind all the nasty shit you stepped in all day.

I agree. Wearing shoes inside is really gross.
