I assume it's because many people outside the USA are accustomed to taking off their shoes when entering a house or apartment.

We take off our shoes here. At least I do. What kind of filthy animals want dirt on their floors?

If you watch American shows or movies, people always wear shoes in houses and even on sofas. I think the assumption originates from there.

My (we're Russian) mom always said it was because true cowboys know that if you take them off a scorpion could crawl in, so better safe than sorry

They even go to the bathroom and bedroom with their shoes. Un-fucking-believable
