It is a cultural thing, but for what it's worth I'm with you. In America, I think people on the West Coast generally take them off at the door more than people on the East Coast.

[bombay]

Not in my experience - I never took my shoes off indoors when I lived in SoCal, but when I moved to NH (where there's a lot more crap to track in), almost everybody takes their shoes off at the door. IDK about further south, but at least in the north-east, it's very common to the point that I feel really wrong walking in a house with my shoes on despite having done it for ~20 years prior.

[othellia]

Huh. No idea then. Almost everyone I've known in Virginia, Florida, and Ohio (not really east coast but still on the east half) don't take them off inside, but almost everyone I've known in Hawaii, Washington, and the couple parts of California I've been to do. *shrugs*

[(Anonymous)]

I'm from the east coast, and I've almost never been to anyone's house where this is expected. It seems kind of prissy to me, tbh.

I don't know about bombay, but I also live in Southern California and I think people take off their shoes pretty often. There is a level of informality about it, though. I take my shoes off at my friends' homes, even when there's a smallish house party (with under 30 people). But if I went to a large party at the house of someone I don't know that well (say I went as the guest of a friend of the host), I would probably keep my shoes on. Unless the host specifically instructed everyone to remove them. Or it was a pool party or something, of course.

I did hear the rule of thumb that if you fall asleep (read: pass out) at a party with your shoes on, you were "fair game" for face doodling or other pranks. Keeping your shoes on meant you were planning on leaving, removing them was a sign you intended to stay the night. I went to a party school...

I'm from the eastern coast of South Carolina and I DETEST shoes inside of a house.

That said, it's a level of formality thing. If you're at a stranger's home, you don't remove your shoes. If it's your friend's house, you do.

If you're at a small gathering of friends, certainly, but if it's a large party, no matter how well everybody knows one another, you don't take off your shoes.

One of my friends will takes his NASTY-ASS SHOES ONTO PEOPLE'S BEDS and I basically wind up chastising him every time because it's DISGUSTING.

[(Anonymous)]

I think everyone would consider the shoes on beds thing rude and disgusting.
