Outdoor shoes - on or off?

Just wondering what others think or do. Is it ever acceptable to ask someone to take their outdoor shoes off when coming into your house? Or should you (as I do at present) hope for the best and grin and bear it if they don't? We have beige carpets throughout (there when we bought the house) and can't afford (don't want) to replace them with something more practical at least for the time being. Any opinions on this?

We once had a Rep here by appointment. He turned up with his slippers in a bag. Never seen that before or since. I do know he was here nearly all evening and I began to wonder if the next thing he’d fetch out of his bag were his pyjamas.

very amusing...
