I grew up in Scotland where people also wear shoes in the house. There was always a good doormat at the door and everyone wipes their shoes. Yes, the rugs take a lot of wear and tear and get replaced a lot more often. Carpet is way cheaper over there. Also, people who live in the house change into slippers or house shoes.
