Comes from the same origins as removing your shoes at the door, I'd imagine. Considered proper guest etiquette or some other Victorian era nonsense like that.

Okay but shoes are about not bring dirt and mud from the ground inside. Whatever is coming in on my hat is also coming in on my shirt and pants.

I do prefer people taking shoes off at the door.
