It’s similar in the US. In colder areas up north people are more likely to ask you to take off your shoes inside.

Here in the south, the majority of people wont ask visitors to do so.



Common in the PNW US also, most of the year you'll be walking in with wet shoes.


Born and grew up in the PNW, never took shoes off inside until I married a Chinese. You might be walking in with wet shoes, assuming you aren’t just walking from the drive way to your door. Actually, I bet if you walk more than drive it is more important to (a) have rain boots at all and (b) take them off when you come inside.
