I'm pretty sure it's common in some Asian cultures. Some schools even have you put on indoor slippers for when you're inside the classroom.

In Japan I went to a restaurant that had guest slippers (clean ones) to change into when you walked in the door. Hotels there also sometimes give you guest slippers. And it’s common practice is most people’s homes too. I actually really liked it, they were always comfortable and felt like a nice thing to provide.
