Spent some years in Hawaii as a child...it was customary to leave our shoes at the front door. We retained that custom upon returning to the states...always removed our shoes in the house, and wore house shoes or slippers. Personally, I'd rather be barefoot. I see all sides to this issue, and I feel everyone is entitled to do what they want in their own home, and while I never come right out and ask a guest to remove their shoes, most follow my example.
