I think it’s more a northern western thing? I’m not sure, I never wear shoes indoors. I knew a family who had very specific shoe rules: outdoor shoes, indoor slippers, carpet socks, and back porch slip-ons. Very hard to visit.

In my family (which is pretty much white except for me) we are pretty much no-shoes-inside-the-house people. Like, that’s the rule with few exceptions (my gran wears her sneakers because she has bad feet and needs to).

My mother and my stepdad get in fights ALL THE TIME about him wearing his nasty boots in the house. He has at least fifteen pairs of houseshoes she’s bought him that he never wears.

Its the only iron-clad rule in my house: take yo damn shoes off or get a thappad
I have houseslippers, slippers for bathroom and slippers for the kitchen (because my landlady’s dog is always lounging there). My friend D*, she’s from El Salvador (studying in Canada since the past eight years), always always gets reprimanded by me for wearing the wrong slippers in the wrong room. 
And thappad is the ONLY reasonable solution to germ carrying people who refuse to remove shoes at the door. Never been more proud of being Indian, I should say.
