The map is wildly simplistic, as usual for these Internet takes lol.
In Portugal, for example (where I come from), I don’t know anyone that keeps their shoes in-doors 95% the time. If you’re doing some quick work or holding an event, people might be a bit more lack about taking off your shoes, but I (and many my friends) always make an effort to take some kind of home footware when visiting other people’s homes. As a general rule? Everyone puts some socks/sleepers/flipflops on.
If you don’t already have a mudroom then designate a room as the mudroom.
For us that is the kitchen. The dog goes right to the kitchen which is cleaned daily. Only after the dog sits around and it falls off do we let the dog into the rest of the house.
In what backwards and uncultured shithole do you have shoes on in the house? That’s filthy.
See map
I’m weirdly conflict conflicted, I mean we are on the map, but it is incorrect.
But most kiwis are shoes off in the house.
Be glad you’re on the map for once
You’re too far away to get accurate data on.
Are Kiwis shoes off outside the house too, or is that just Aussies?

I am surprised to see some continental Europe here. I know it is different in Ireland and their floors look it.
The map is just wrong. How did they gather this data, it just what the map maker has decided is the case rather than objective reality.
If you come in my house and you’re wearing shoes you’re gonna get told to take them off. I don’t want dirt on my carpet.
Yeah I live in Czechia and never realized this was the case in France and Spain. I’m also surprised.
It’s not, the map is wrong.
I prefer shoes off, but I have dogs that track so much dirt and filth in so what’s the point 😭
Wipe their paws off at the door. Your dogs will thank you.

It makes a very nice buffer.
Shoes off inside the house is only really useful when one has shoes on, when outside.
Get your dogs some shoes.
