Uk definitely isn't a "wearing shoes inside the house" country unless their house has floors so genuinely dirty that you're better off not collecting detritus

Slippers don't count as shoes.
Shoes on the main floor are ok but not upstairs
in the tropics you'd be lucky to find someone wearing shoes outside
France is a shoes off country. However during winter we have indoor slippers
Living in Ohio (midwest U.S) its not entirely a yes or no and more of a "it depends". Ive noticed older people assume shoes on but anyone under 40 will either ask or assume shoes off at the door. Theres also a layer of midwest nice to the whole exchange of not wanting to inconvenience the other person, so you get situations where a party will start with everyone wearing shoes, but end with everyone shoeless.

Yeah this shocked me coming to the Netherlands. Thing is, when everybody else is wearing shoes, you don't wanna walk around in socks or barefoot cuz the floor gets nasty. It's a vicious cycle
im not trying to be negative, im happy for anyone enjoying this post. but i do feel compelled to comment that i find it hilarious that we are out here discussing, and dare i say "arguing" about this topic in particular. thank you all, good day.
