yeah and usually when they tell you to keep them on....there's a damn good reason
i wear flipflops 95% of the time and have indoor and outdoor pairs. normal practice for me is walk in through the door, kick off shoes/flipflops, slip on indoor pair.
at friends houses unless i'm told otherwise i remove whatever is on my feet as soon as i'm through the door, sometimes regardless of whether they wear them indoors.
if i visit a friends house and i'm in flipflops i go straight to the WC and have a little rinse of my feet. some of my friends question me for being a germophobe, others think im being rude by stating their flooring is dirty, but i always tell them its one of my weird things i have to do.

i have a 4 year old theres no stopping her running around, down stairs in the new house has been designed to have hard wearing dirt hiding carpets or flooring so it's no problem shoes off to go upstairs in the bedroom bathroom areas
Shoes off when I come inside - and I will always assume to remove my shoes in someones house.
Although I have worn shoes in the house if I needed to grab something quickly.

At home I don't care if guests wear shoes in the house, personally I take mine off just because I hate wearing them indoors. At others houses it depends in the situation. If I walk into a home with nice floors and a mat with shoes already on it is by the door mine come off. Or if they are wet, snowy etc. If it's someones apartment or I follow them in or they answer the door in shoes I'll keep them on unless I'm staying for a while.
It's bad etiquette to eat other people's shoes.
I like to show up at other people's houses like this:
