I live on the 2nd floor of my house. The kids and I take our shoes off as soon as we get upstairs. Mostly, because it's more comfortable to walk around with no shoes (socks or slippers in winter, barefoot in summer) . Of course, less dirt is always a plus. I keep a pair of slippers that I can wear outside by the door downstairs for when I have to take out the garbage or get the mail.
Forgot to say: I am American, and have carpeting in all rooms but the kitchen and bathroom.
