funny - my American colleagues/friends claim that it is a Canadian custom to take our shoes off at the door. Even in hotel rooms (something I tend not to do unless I bring slippers). Yes, our whole family takes shoes off at the door.
When house hunting, one of our requirements was a large enough front vestibule to put in a bench so we could sit on something to remove boots/shoes etc and switch into slippers. At the backyard door, there is an array of crocs/deck shoes/flip flops for quick journeys out into the yard. Especially with hardwood floors, we are trying to keep the dirt to a mimimum.
