Maybe we dont have the extremes of weather that you have.
I live in Scotland with lots of rain and I would never consider it rude if someone visited my home and did not remove their footwear, I want my guests to feel comfortable and if they are more comfortable keeping their footwear on then so be it, if they choose to take their shoes off and they have hideously smelly feet I would not let them know their feet smelled as I would not wish to offend in any way, a guest in my home. I have a lot of teenagers visiting my home and most will take their shoes off at the door if my own children do, and vice versa if my own children dont take theirs off the other lkids tend to keep theirs on. Personally I do not consider it a big deal, just extra cleaning for me. Its the way I was brought up that visitors were never made to feel uncomfortable.........so different cultures I guess is whats happening here.
I PERSONALLY (not shouting just pointing out it is my personal opinion only) consider the request unreasonable as a client because it would make me feel uncomfortable.
Don't really know how else I can explain it.
