Re: Do you take your shoes off at home?
“Mahalo for removing your shoes” or variants of are quite common in hawaii, especially around the beaches. I don’t know about average America general home policy but on vacation it’s often to be as messy and inconsiderate as possible so a few reminders is good.
In california shoes on or off is generally utilitarian and thus depends on if the surrounding area has dirt or literal crap to track inside. There are however pockets of hippies and asian cultures that view taking off shoes before entering a sign of respect to the house and residents.
