There are also people who have “house shoes” which may be slippers or actual shoes that they only wear around the house.

I don’t know how common it is.

    I could never wear closed shoes indoors. Gotta let the feet breathe, man, yuck!

    It seems to be a generational thing from what I read in Wikipedia, older people from UK and Netherlands for example didn't remove shoes but younger generations do. The US is a big mix of cultures so I'm guessing people that came here from all over some didn't remove shoes but people from other places do, and as we go more people are removing shoes because it makes sense.

    Also most people I know have switched to hard floors over carpet as well. For example when we got our home we removed all the carpet but the bedroom

    And what does that mean for you? Does it mean you want to have shoes after switching to hard floors, or you don't want to have shoes on?
