Hi
At first, there is a question I wanted to ask the Americans for years
so I would be grateful for answer, thank you
I know it is completely silly to judge anything through movies, but...
Ok, the question of life and death:
Do you Americans REALLY enter your houses and flats with your shoes on? I mean - in every movie or TV serie, people always get into their homes and walk through all the rooms with their shoes on. And there are so many scenes with teenagers jumping to their beds (!!!!!) right after getting back from school, still wearing shoes!
it seems so silly to me - shoes are always the most dirty part of clothes, so I need to ask
For example in the Czech republic, it would be culturally unacceptable to enter the main rooms with shoes still on
The first place you see after you get into average Czech flat or house, is a small space where you take your shoes (and usually also coats, jumpers or jackets) off. And yes, Czech movies and series do have scenes with people taking their shoes off
Sometime you are supposed to remove them even before you enter the house or flat at all!
And visitors usually have a strong tendency to take the shoes off before they enter, it is ALMOST a question of good manners to start removing your shoes in front of the door, while the host says ,,oh, come in and remove them inside"
Even if you are ready to leave the flat and you forgot some thing you need in another room, you are supposed to take your shoes off and then go for that forgotten stuff
my parents are always angry when I enter our living room (which is right next to the "vestibule" where the shoes are) for some thing I need
when I forget something in a bedroom or in a bathroom, I even remove only one shoe and them jump on one leg to get forgotten thing
So I always gaze in disbelief at all those American scenes with people laying in bed with shoes
Thanks for answer!

it makes me unhappy. I am afraid I will not make it, there are so many pages and I do not remember anything. But I want the graduation exams to be already behind me. My life style is just terrible now 
two more days and it would kill me 
but yeah, I will buy it, I think. I definitely visit this ZOO more often than just six times a year 
haha, from some 5500 points, I have 500 left now 
Yes, Americans wear their shoes inside. I myself actually hate shoes so usually I take them off whenever i get home and I know I wont be going anywhere else in a short time. I usually take them off in my room, or by the door if they are wet. I find shoes uncomfortable to wear. I also normally take my shoes off at friends house by the door if I know I won't be going anywhere with them or won't be going outside.. I actually bugs me that my dad wear his all the time, even if he isn't going anywhere or outside. We even made a rule in our house to not wear shoes inside unless we are of course going outside and he's the only one who didn't bother to follow. So I never really understood why people wears shoes inside all the time throughout the day. Plus since I always put my feet up onto things or sit with my legs crossed or under me so I don't like the idea of wearing them when done so. Very uncomfortable to wear them while on the couch (unless i know i am not going to sit like i normally do, like while eating something I got from a restaurant, or waiting for someone) or on the bed
