Pakistan as shoes on? That seems wrong.
UK is generally shoes off from everything I've seen but ok then
As an American, I don't believe I've ever been in someone's home that allows me to wear my shoes indoors unless I am only on non-carpeted floor, and/or not staying long.
People don't like other people dragging shit on the bottom of their shoes into their living spaces.

I must ask the shoes on people: at what point in the house do the shoes get removed?
I’d expect that you wouldn’t want them in the bedroom or bathroom, getting gravel or dirt in bed. Is it that the main living room for entertaining guests is shoes on, and shoes off is for personal rooms? Or do you have a specific set of indoor shoes? Or do your outdoor shoes go everywhere?
Spaniard here. "Shoes-on" is mostly for when you have guests over. You'll wake up in the morning and use slippers, only put on shoes to go to outside, and when you come back home you'll remove the shoes typically in your bedroom (unless wet or dirty). But when you have guests over, everyone wears shoes typically, even hosts.

We were shoes on when I was growing up, but I am very staunchly shoes off as an adult.
I feel weird when I visit someone and they have me keep my shoes on.

We have shoes, flipflops, and crocs piled inside the front door. If that doesn't give you a clue...
Got dogs , humans take shoes off but irrelevant compared to dirt dogs track in

Shoes off, eh.
Yeah I converted to shoes off. It just keeps the floor cleaner and you're more comfortable in the home
I'm really not sure about Australia. If you live up north you barely ever even wear shoes.if you live on a farm you better kick off those filthy gummies before you step in the house. If you're a tradie, you'd better kick off those filthy Blundstones before you walk in. If you live in the suburbs, it's a coin flip either way.
Our house is not as clean as I want it, but, if we wore shoes in the house it would be way worse. We have a family member that lives next door and is constantly walking around our house with shoes and it drives me nuts. If they weren't so helpful I'd say something.
Sandals when I'm inside. On rare occasions I'll wear socks and house shoes, but that's usually when I'm cleaning floors or something wet.
