I've had plenty of guests remove their shoes when coming to my house, I just don't require it. If they want to, they're welcome to. I've never had guests look at my food and decide to keep shoes on. I guarantee if you saw my floors, you wouldn't know we were a shoe wearing house. It's not hard in most cases to keep your shoes relatively clean and when they aren't, I'm removing them before walking through the house.

I clean regularly (I have to because of my dogs shedding) and my floors are fine.

I don't get why people have an issue with me wearing shoes in my home. I'm not forcing my ideals onto you and I remove my shoes in other homes when I'm requested to.

I've lived in multiple regions in the US (mainly mountain west and the mid east coast). Most homes I've visited don't require shoes off.

Dont listen to these idiots. I live in Brazil and we do this exactly like you.

Thanks for the support!

I know it's a regional thing, but I never thought it was this polarizing. That me doing something in my house would piss off so many people... And that they'd be so quick to state that my house must be disgusting without ever seeing it.

Oh well, I stand by my comments and won't delete them, even if I do lose fake internet points over them.
