Russia. Shoes in the house.
I remember how I was surprised when I was watching American movies and saw people walking inside a house, laying in a sofa, sleeping in a bed in shoes. We don't wear shoes where we living in. Usually we have slippers for everyone of family and slippers for guests. If you don't like slippers you normally can walk in the house in socks or barefoot but no one can walk in shoes in the house.

Russia. Shoes in the house.
I remember how I was surprised when I was watching American movies and saw people walking inside a house, laying on a sofa, or sleeping in a bed in shoes*. We don't wear shoes indoors where we live living in. Usually we have slippers for everyone of in the family and slippers for guests. If you don't like slippers you normally can walk in the house in socks or barefoot but no one can walk in shoes in the house.*For the record, I'm pretty sure most Americans don't wear shoes to bed. :) I think it's just lazy TV production.

Hey man, wts up... Yeah I watched a tv show about the 2018 world cup presenting Russian people and their habits and the reporter was caught attention when a family asked him to take off his shoes.... but here in Brazil it is not a habit.
See, most families that I know have the habit of wearing slippers inside the house, not cause of any cultural habit but it's cause this way you bring less dirt inside the house each time you go out and in again and it is much more comfortable... but when guests come to your house you don't ask them to take off the shoes.. you just clean the house the next day or as soon as they leave...
But sure I now understand this Russian habit and it's easy to understand and respect this habit that is may be common in many other countries ... nice weekend...

We do both in the UK. Some people are very insistent that slippers are worn in the house, whilst other people don't really mind whether you leave your shoes on or take them off. I have wooden floors in my house which can be cold in winter and so I don't mind guests leaving their shoes on.
