Why? Because it's new?

I don't and I think that people that do are very rude, in USA. I understand doing it in some Asian countries, but in western culture I think it is rude. They are trying to keep their carpet clean. If they have chosen carpet that can not be kept clean by traditional means then why do I have to take off my shoes to compensate for their ignorance?
I remember, back in the 50's, going into the houses and not being allowed into the living room. The furniture was covered in plastic and no one ever went in there. I guess they were saving it for the museum or the salvation army? I don't get it. Why have rooms that you don't use?
Why have carpet that you can't walk on?

Not at all. If you want to keep your shoes on it's up to you. the living room carpet's knackered anyway, so a few more footprints won't make a lot of difference. I'm saving for a nice dark wood floor - hopefully it's the first thing I'm getting in the new year :o)

Apparently you have not been born or married into a family whose main hobby is deer hunting. I don't even want to tell you how much muck and mud they can track in this house so, it their shoes are visibly soiled with mud, I will ask politely if they will take them off...they don't have to live there and see muddy carpet so they can at least respect the people who do live there and worked hard and paid for the carpet.

No, I never tell them they have to remove their shoes. I invite them to remove their shoes if they are comfortable because when a person is walking around bare-footed, it creates a feeling of ease and comfort that makes a person feel like home. It's a tradition in our home! So far, everyone who's been over has felt like taking their shoes off... ღ♥ღ♥ღ

Nah! I would never do that! Of course I have granite flooring and don't have a carpet! My floor is mopped everyday and so I don't worry what people wear! I myself don't like the idea of removing my shoes when I go visiting!!!

i could in all probability have a pair of socks alongside with me if I knew i grew to become into going to flow into with already grimy feet. Closed shoes: already donning socks over grimy feet, so purely eliminate the shoes. turn flops, eliminate the shoes exterior, positioned on the sock, convey the turn flops interior. Barefoot long sufficient on warm asphalt can bake airborne dirt and dirt into the soles, and no volume of handwipes or washing with a washcloth will wash away that airborne dirt and dirt till it wears away a pair of days later.

I suggest that they take off their shoes, however I don't force them to. It's always "if you wanna take off your shoes...".
Ususally just because we want to keep the carpet clean, y'know. Shoes go everywhere. They're icky.

No I don't. Not even when it's rainy and muddy outside. There is a doormat that they can wipe the shoes on before they enter.

I never make them do that. I do though have a few friends that do, but it's because of their culture. It's 'disrespectful' to keep your shoes on in the house to them.

I live in a apartment and the landlord has asked me to take off my shoes when I leave my apartment.
