You must either take your shoes off or put on a pair of red booties the ticket official gives to you when you enter.

Do Islams take there shoes of when they pray?
Yes, as long as the shoes contain no impurities on them. If they do, then it is not permissible to pray in them. In Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) was asked, "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) pray wearing shoes?" He said, "Yes." It is actually Mustahabb to pray with shoes on, meaning recommended. The basis from this comes from the hadith saying "Be different from the Jews, who do not pray in their shoes or in their leather slippers (khufoof)." (Abu Dawood). However, if the floor is carpeted, as in most mosques, then one shouldn't wear shoes because it will cause the floor to get dirty. This is why most Muslims pray with shoes off.
