Off. It's a cultural thing I guess, in Sweden it's considered really rude to just waltz in with your shoes on.
Depends who's house it is, if it's mine then yes. But if it's someone else's house and there's loads of stuff on the floor that I don't want to walk on then I might just keep my shoes on.
... typing that I just realised how pointless it was even bothering.

I leave them on but that's because I'm usually in and out all the time and taking them off would be a pain. If I'm visiting some ones house though I always ask if they want them off, its just a matter of manners.
WTF? people will steal some ones shoes ..... that have been on their feet? ewwww.Bon_Clay said:
In Finland, nobody asks you to remove your shoes when you enter their home, it's taken for granted. The only reason not to take your shoes off immediately when you enter a home, is when you're carrying something heavy, or are just popping in to grab something you forgot.
I guess it's because 3/4 of the time it's either snowing or raining, so shoes get muddy and dirty. Shoes are something that protect your feet, there's no point in wearing them in an environment where your feet don't need to be protected.

I grew up taking my shoes off in the house and still do the same. when i visit friends i take them off unless told otherwise.Socks usually come off as well at home and then slippers on.
Off, because I dislike shoes. I'll go for a walk without them sometimes.
I still make others take them off though, as we've got a rather expensive rug that mud is drawn to.
One time, someone didn't take their shoes off, trailed mud all through the house, saw our white rug (Couple of hundred pounds), said "That's nice!" stood right in the middle with all that mud, then said "Shame you let it get so muddy"
I hit him.
