Is this an American thing or is it just on TV?
Do Americans usually wear their shows inside their homes? They always do on TV. Canadians in general don't. Please advise.

3. Shoes?
I do generally... lots of people don't like to.

I think it partly depends on what you're likely to walk in outside your home.

5. Really depends on the household. Some do, some don't.

We don't. Unless it's muddy out :)

6. I don't
I take my shoes off as soon as I get home. But I'm weird.

7. Everyone I know does, I take mine off as soon as possible.
But I'm anti-social, and don't spend a lot of time inside the houses of others, so I'm not the best person to ask,

8. Nope!
Shoes off at the door - keeps the floor clean(er).

9. Seasonal
Summer - off, winter - on, unless my shoes are wet or muddy. My thirteen year old and his friends kick them off the second they come in the door.
