When I saw the title of this thread I had to post! I have always worn my shoes inside my house as well as everyone else I know, but when I went to visit my friend in France those couple of times I couldn't and she thought it was so weird that I wore my shoes inside my house. The thought of wearing shoes in the house almost made her sick! She said shoes were dirty and filthy and that's why French people have those little racks outside their doors (usually in the garage, by the door leading inside the house) to put their shoes on when they came in. I remember her asking me one day if it was really true what she saw in American movies, if Americans really would consider lying down on their beds with their--gasp!--shoes on. I thought it was really funny, because I do that without thinking.
