What does it mean the US is shoes on? In my entire life the only family I know of that did that was a hoarding family with layers of filth on their floor.
Exactly! I think either this is SO innacurate, or :
How can Canada be a shoes off country if Britain and America are shoes-on? It just couldn't be.
Weather.
In Canada (except near Vancouver) you have to wear winter boots whenever you're outside for many months.
In most of the UK, and part of the US, you never get snow.
People wearing winter boots change them when they get home. If you're just wearing sneakers or something, it's more reasonable to keep wearing them around the house.
I think there are probably a fair number of homes in Canada (especially on the west coast) where people wear shoes around the house. There are probably even places where people switch from winter boots to "house shoes" or something. But, I'd imagine that there are many more "shoes off" houses in Canada just because of winter, and many more "shoes on" houses in say Miami or Phoenix or Los Angeles where it never gets cold.
Similarly, I would be that even though Argentina and Chile are listed as "shoes on" countries, my guess is that in the deep south where it can get wintery, they at a minimum change their footwear after coming inside in the winter.
Maybe more pride in home ownership?
Also, Canada has been far more left leaning than the other two, imo Canada is closer to New Zealand just harder to leave out of a world map.
Having moved from the shoes off Midwest to Los Angeles I’ve found that basically anyone non-Asian is wearing shoes indoors.
It’s regional in the US. I’m from Colorado, and it’s strictly shoes off here. I have family in California and those animals wear their shoes inside and it drives me crazy.
Yeah, I'm from Jersey, and I guess the majority of people I know are just transplants to other states, but it's shoes off everywhere to me. Home is comfort and comfort is shoes off.
