I was raised in small town Ohio and taking your shoes off, especially in a strangers home (occasionally not in your own because of practicalities like going back and forth to unload the car), was considered part of common etiquette along with not wearing hats indoors.
Both of those things really depend on your family though as I’ve definitely met people that just don’t care.
Shoes. Indoors, in your own house, on your furniture?!
That is divisive even within the country.

I don’t like walking on my carpeted areas in my shoes, but I don’t mind walking in the laminate in shoes. Easier to clean imo.
I just don’t have carpeted areas ;)
Yeah as someone living in Canada that seems wild to me. I can’t imagine they still do that in places with snow, that would be madness.
How can you guys get any work done around the house if you’re constantly swapping shoes?
Pffft
Just go barefoot everywhere
You buy shoes that are easy to swap - like no need to use hands kind of easy. You can also go barefoot at home, because the floor is clean.
