The custom of removing ones footwear before entering a house stems from the Heian period between the years and While a house could quickly become dirty if people entered wearing mud-covered straw sandals zoori or clogs geta , the more likely reason that shoes were left outside was the custom of sitting, eating, and sleeping directly on the floor or straw mats. According to custom, if a guest places their shoes on the floor, they should face outwards towards the door. Nearby, as one steps up into the house, there is likely to be a slipper rack, holding pairs of slippers to be worn while in the house. If the flooring of a room in a house is covered by a tatami, which is a woven straw mat, a guest should remove their slippers before entering. Only bare or stocking feet are allowed on these types of floors.

Cultural Significance of Removing Your Shoes in Asia
I made a major cultural mistake early on in my Asia adventure. It was in Thailand and I started blazing across the foyer to the reception desk in our small off the beaten path lodging. It had been a long day and I was more than ready to claim my room and curl up for a long night sleep. A bustling grandmother behind the counter quickly came running to block my path, utterly in shock at my onset. You see I still had my sandals on.
In many cultures there is a tradition of removing one's shoes in the home and places like church , temples and schools. In Northern Europe and Austria , it is generally considered rude or unhygienic to keep one's shoes on when entering a house, in particular boots or outdoor walking shoes. There may be exceptions, especially when it is a short visit where it is not necessary to enter the interior rooms of the house or flat. Dress shoes or other shoes worn with formal wear are usually accepted, but those are generally not worn outside; the custom is to bring shoes for indoor wear in a bag and put them on when outdoor clothes are removed.
