It is quit common in new Housing Estates where people have installed new carpeting or have timber flooring. I know quite a lot of people who always offer to remove shoes before entering someones home. I think it is quiet courteous and it is something I always practise.

I think you should let a lot of shoes outside the door, people will notice...

it's a common courtesy in any country, but mandatory in certain religions.
