I get dressed every morning and that includes shoes. I don't notice I have them on. I never ask anyone to take shoes off unless really muddy or wet. No carpet to worry about so the floors are easy to keep clean. I've been to some homes that I'm asked to take off shoes and my socks get dirty from the floors or I feel 'grit' on my bare feet. That I can't stand. If you want people to take off shoes in your house, have clean floors.
