Take them off. Leave them on. The topic of shoes being worn in the house has been one that's been around forever. Growing up, many of us had friends whose families insisted we take our shoes off upon entering their homes while others simply didn't care whether you left them on or not. As we've gotten older, the topic is as relevant as ever. 

In an article posted on Yahoo, the argument for not wearing shoes around the house is strengthened because doing so could be detrimental to your health. Thanks to C. difficilea bacteria commonly found on the bottom of shoes, folks can find themselves with a case of watery diarrhea if infected. The best way to prevent this from happening is to remove your shoes upon entering your home so you don't contaminate your living area.
