I am always glad if people asked me because it takes any doubt or awkwardness away if I were to take them off automatically (plus I much prefer being in stocking feet--way more comfortable). Unless there's any kind of health related issues involving wearing/not wearing shoes, I think people should get over it. Kick off your shoes and relax;!

When I’m asked to remove my shoes, it tells me that my host is inhospitable, ignorant and/or has psychological problems. If your home is a museum or cultural sanctuary, don’t try to make it do double-duty as a place to entertain your friends. If you believe that shoes represent a health risk to your family, you apparently don’t realize that people present a far more significant health risk than shoes. And if you’re obsessive-compulsive, paranoid, mysophobic or xenophobic, seek help for your condition rather than burdening your guests with it. Above all, if you have a shoes-off policy, don’t bother inviting me to your home; I won’t come! Count me as someone offended by the shoes-off practice for guests.
