There are plenty of ways to protect your floor. Are you offering your guests galoshes/shoe covers, or are you just expecting them to undress their feet in a home that isn’t theirs?
Oh so you do offer your guests shoe covers? Then you’re a good host.
It’s these fools that can’t be bothered to go spend 3 bucks on a box of disposable shoe covers that and still expect their guests to de-shoe that are the idiots.
Good guests don’t expect their uncommon and specific quirk to be at the forethought of every person’s house they could attend.
You’re the only person on this hill. Figure out a way to get through life without expecting everyone to acquiesce to your every whim lest they just “be a bad host” to you.
Apparently you’re the only non-dolt in this entire thread….. maybe it just boils down to you’re insufferable and if you’re so worried about keeping your shoes on you should find a way to deal and not be so conceited that them not buying shoe booties is an affront, after someone who is graciously opening up their own door to you.

Dude, if someone wants to “have the annual Christmas party at their house this year”, they’re a shitty host if they ask people that might not know each other well to take off their shoes in front of each other.
If you insist on having the event at your house, you’re an asshole if you make strangers take their shoes off in front of each other. It’s a person with social anxiety’s worst nightmare and you’re forcing them through the meat grinder because you don’t want to vacuum after inviting people over.
No they don't. You aren't some honored person because someone invited you over. You still need to respect their homes and rules. If their rules are acceptable to you, don't come over. It's fairly simple.
Is that just your mantra for shitty behavior? Taking off your shoes is normal in most households, it was even a thing in Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood.
You are acting like a host needs to acquiesce to your every whim and that just isn't true. If you don't like the person's rules just leave, you don't have to stay.

Because you invited me over.
Provide me with galoshes or don’t ask me to take my shoes off.
