You made me think. And I don't think the answer is that simple. When we first moved to Toronto, my mom was shocked and dismayed that most of my high school friends and many adults who came to visit us did not take their shoes off and walked right in. These days almost everyone takes off their shoes even and it has nothing to do with the weather.

I suspect there are a few factors in play. Whether or not people take off their shoes has much to do with how you arrange your home. For starters if it is fully carpeted, nobody walks in with shoes. Even if it is not, if you have shoe rack in the foyer the environment is arranged right, it sends a strong message that you expect people to take their shoes off before entering. But I suspect that the people's habits has changed over the past 25 years or so. Some of the older people still occasionally ask if they should take their shoes off, but the younger ones always do without asking.
