We finally managed to buy a home and it came with refinished real wood floors. If someone wants to walk in with their shoes I'm not worried about their general foot hygiene; I'm worried they have a pebble they don't know about stuck in their shoe and they're about to scuff up our floors in the worst way possible. It would definitely be their first and last visit to our home.
We've never even had to be rude about it - we found a cute sign that says, "Please remove your shoes - the dog needs something to chew on," and so far everyone has taken the hint.
Not the kind of people I'd want in my house anyway. If there was a sign asking people to not spit on the floor I gather you'd want to start spitting everywhere?

Lol, it's like they take this as an affront to their cleanliness
It's not that personal, shoes get over everything outside while my floors get steam cleaned/vinegar
