this is different according to person and region.

How do you handle it?
Off course - one needs to take off his road and outside shoes upon entering my sacred and clean home.

I find it horrible - e.g. in the USA, where kids and adults even jump and rest on their beds with their shoes on. Yuk.

Visitors don't take shoes off in our home because it is a very old dilapitated house that has the roof caving in, heat & and air conditioning don't work, mold everywhere, and is bug infested. So taking off the shoes in a very old crummy house seems pointless... but we love our home anyway. I think our house was built in like 1918.
 
Yup.
Between snow, dirt and mud, take your filthy shoes off before coming into the house.

Nope. Five indoor cats, two dogs, and we hardly ever have visitors. We live out in the country, so the floors are gonna get dirty anyway. Besides, I have a vacuum cleaner and a mop and I know how to use them.
 
I wouldn't even think of such an intrusion. Civilized people will do it if necessary, but I would never insist.

My grandchildren have all been taught to remove their shoes immediately upon entering someone else's house, including mine. It's a good idea for kids, but again, I wouldn't insist on it unless they were seriously tracking up the house with mud or snow.
