    In my own house, rarely, but we have a door mat and rug for wiping off our feet. I do change into slippers or just run around in my socks most of the time at home though because we have cold hardwood floors and dogs that shed a lot. In other people's houses, always.

    I tend remove mine, because I prefer to be barefoot. I don't make others takes theirs off but if I go somewhere and they ask, I will take mine off (even though I wear Vibrams - i carry foot wipes now because yeah, stinky feets)

    I have OCD so yes the shoes are off even when working out in my house. Now I will take them off in others house if they so wish their guest too or if it's raining/snowing.

    Mine come off at my house. At others' homes it depends on if they've offered me alcohol or not. If yes, they come off. If not, I will track mud around their pristine home until I receive a proper glass of Irish whiskey.

    My house yes. Then I have some birkies I use as slippers because I have plantar faciitis and can't go barefoot for long. Other peoples houses - most of the time. One of my friend's house is dirty all the time, so no, I don't take them off there....LOL.

    No, I don't think someone is stuck up if they ask people to remove shoes. They like to keep it clean, like me. :)

    Shoes come off entering my home and I always take mine off at other peoples houses. Unless they say "don't have to take them off."

    Shoes come off unless I'm sneaking back into the house to quickly grab something.

    At my house, the rule is shoes off if they are wet or muddy. Dry is okay. But personally, I'd rather have my shoes off. And I usually bring slippers to homes I visit, because my feet get cold.

    Shoes off in my house and I take them off in others. The only exception to the rule is my mother who refuses to take hers off at mine so I dont take mine off at hers....

    Yes, the rule in our house is that EVERYONE takes off their shoes before they come in. We don't want the ick of the world to come into our home. For our family couch - no one wears outside clothes when we sit on it.. we sit on them in our pajamas or house clothes so that outside ick doesn't get into our beds. I know that probably sounds over the top but it helps keep us healthy and our house clean.

    If other people request that I take my shoes off, I'll just calmly inform them .. "You don't want that."

    I have a problem being barefoot in someone else's house.

    It's not stuck up to wear them in my house - it's rude! LOL Unless you plan to wash my floors before you leave or I invite you to keep them on - you take them off! Just common courtesy :)

    I used to live in Korea where the streets were filthy with dirt and human filth. Not only did you take off your shoes when entering a home, there were little closets right by the door in which to store them. Back in D.C. I continue to take off my shoes before entering my home to keep dirt, poo, chemicals, pesticides, fertilizer, etc out of my lungs and off of my carpet and floors. It requires less vacuuming and preserves the floors. My butter toned carpets are at least 28 years old. I don't do so at others' homes or ask them to do so at mine but most everyone walk in through the garage on indoor outdoor carpet giving their dirty lots of time to fall off of their feet.
