I work in a cubical, and I take my shoes off before putting my feet under the desk. If it was more accepted I’d take them off outside my cube, but, I live in a country that likes shoes on.
Worst desks I crawled under were for people who would wear their winter boots. Desks where people change into seperate shoes just in socks or slippers were much preferred.
Fun fact, I’m the IT guy lol I dont have to go around the office much, most my day is at my desk also as an IT guy I’d rather crawl under someone’s desk that never put their shoes under there. After walking around the office, in the bathroom, outside on the side walk in your shoes, your socked feet are cleaner.
Here in FL USA, they don’t wear socks, they wear flip-flops. They claim their toes need to breathe. It smells like onions under there, but i see you point if they are socked. Guess it’s a regional issue.
I don’t mind prioritizing the guest over the host. So, that is how I operate in my home and no one is being rude. Not that either approach is wrong. But, given the rudeness I’ve encountered here it dosen’t feel like avoiding rudeness is the driving factor.

SAME HERE
I often take my shoes off as soon as I can be where nobody will notice them. Under my desk is a no shoes zone.
Same. I have this balance board in my office and it doesn’t even work with shoes on.
–Edit–
Removed the brand name from the comment.
Nubby balance board for anyone else who was curious
That link shows them using it with shoes on for what it’s worth.
Whoops, sorry about advertising. Didn’t think about that before posting.
The IT guys putting you pc equipment together hate you.

I once had dedicated office slippers under my desk
I’m also team office slippers. They’re so snuggly!

Sounds comfy…

Back when I went to an office every day, I usually wore loafers. Easy to slip off and on under your desk without drawing lots of attention.
Ain’t no way I’m taking my shoes off in the office unless I know for a fact that the floor is clean AF.

I would never make such a demand of a guest in my home. They are my guest and I will feed them and clean up after.

You obviously choose your guests wisely, and surely they are as witty as you.

Naw, just replying to pompousness and scrubbing my floors furiously.
