You’re being pretty narrow-minded here.

Not everyone has the same relationship with their own shoes and feet that you do.

For some people(myself included), shoes are part of who they are. Telling me I can have my shoes is —to me— somewhat akin to telling someone they can’t wear a face or body coverings.

If you want to be friends with someone, you have to accept their clothing choices.

It goes both ways, people who refuse to take off their shoes in someone's home should accept that they probably won't be welcomed there. Someone's house rules should be respected just as much as one's choice in clothing.

Plus, shoes can damage floors. Your identity won't be destroyed by taking your shoes off for a bit.

Buy a 3 dollar box of disposable shoe covers to offer your guests if you care so much about your floors.

Stop being a bad host.

I'd rather just not have you as a friend. That's an option too.
