Yeah, taking shoes off is a weird thing here. I'm uncomfortable in homes where I have to take off my shoes.
It's a curious thing, but of all the cultural differences between Saskatchewan and North Carolina that we were exposed to, that stands out most in my mind. Keeping my shoes on in people's homes kept me from relaxing. I always felt like I was going to leave right away.
As long as there are no holes with creepy toes sticking out, socks are fine.
Anti-toeite. (Holes in socks—my own—drive me batty. Because I'm bad at throwing out clothes, there are some socks that I've just evolved into automatically doubling up to cover up the air touching my heel.)

I've heard the term used, but we never used it in Virginia. Not sure about Maine. Never heard it there but it may be in use.
We used it in Virginia.
Actually, my New Jersey parents used the term and I picked it up from them.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
I love having my shoes and socks off in my house. I always take them off as soon as I get in. Shoes are just awful. I'm happy to take them off in other peoples' homes, though I'd probably keep my socks on.

In Californighyay, is it expected to keep shoes on or off?

I mean, I take off my shoes in my own house, but I don't want anyone else baring their disgusting feet around me (babies and toddlers excluded. Because their feet are cute).

Asian houses off. White houses on.

I don't really care too much either way, but if I think about it, people dragging in shit from the street into my house via bottoms of shoes seems worse than sweaty feet.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

I've been in dozens of those restaurants. Every one of them serves salad as long as you're cool with iceberg lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and Thousand Islands dressing. The burgers are always good, tho.

In Saskatchewan, it's unpronounceable.

If you're staying and not going in the backyard take them off. If it's a party with outdoor action then keep them on. When I go to other houses I see what other people are doing and follow that lead.
