We always kick our shoes off at the door and usually wear socks and/or slippers, sometimes barefeet in the summer.

When we did the smoke detector inspection in our neighbourhood, we went into over 60 houses, and I remember that almost every home didn't allow shoes past the foyer. I can't remember the last time or place I wore my outdoor shoes in anyone's house...oh, now I remember - we always wore shoes inside of our cottage when we were growing up, but the floors were rough there, so it was more a safety thing than comfort.
