87% of people take off their shoes in their own homes; only 50% of those individuals ask guests to as well.

Wearing shoes in the house tracks in more dirt.

If you are working in a "shoe-less" home, it is important to respect that.  You are not working in an rented office space but someone's home.

[i]The latest results show that nearly a third of the country (31%) will “always” take off their shoes at home and others follow suit “most of the time” (26%), ”sometimes” (18%), or “rarely” (12%). Geographically, 92% of people living in the Midwest say that they take off their shoes, compared to the Northeast (88%), West (86%), and South (83%).

Sorting the data by age reveals that older millennials (ages 25-34) and those ages 35-44 report highest rates of shoe removal at 90% and 89% respectively. The latter group also leads the country in saying they’ll always remove their shoes at home (40% compared to 31%).

While a majority the country remove their own shoes at home, YouGov asked if they expect their guests to do the same. One in ten (10%) will “always” request their guests remove their shoes though slightly more say they’ll ask less frequently, either “most of the time” (11%), “sometimes” (13%), or “rarely” (13%).[/i]

Try looking at the full data please.  Only 38% always take off their shoes [b]in their own home[/b].  That means that less than half of the US always removes shoes [b]in their own home[/b].  Statistics can be skewed any way you want, depending on how you look at the data.  So no, 10% of people always asking people entering their home to remove their shoes does not make this the norm or even close.[/quote]
