Interesting - and here's another question about US culture:

In Switzerland it's considered uncouth to walk about inside with
one's shoes on. You either wear socks or slipper in your own
home, and many families - particulary if they live in chilly
apartments like mine - have several pairs of inexpensive slippers
for their guests.

When I was last in the US, my grandmother was amused at the way
we "Swiss" Grays would leave our shoes in a neat row by the front
door. Apparently, she had never seen anyone do this before.

Is this custom unkown in the US?

Baaaaaa!
