After 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.
Just over one quarter of Americans do claim they never wear shoes indoors. 
When not wearing shoes, socks (88%), going barefoot (68%) and then slippers (62%) are the most popular alternatives. Females are more likely than males to utilize slippers, flip flops or go barefoot.
