takeShoesOffAfter learning that some textbooks in Asia suggested all Americans wear their shoes indoors, Relevation hypothesized that wasn’t true. We undertook a research survey among a representative sample of 1,500 Americans to understand street/outdoor footwear inside. Although we disproved the “all”, it was still the majority. Overall, Americans claim to be wearing shoes 60% of the time spent indoors. Men wear their shoes indoors more than women.
