Muslims typically remove their shoes before entering the prayer area. This is not a religious requirement, however. It is only done for the purpose of cleanliness because most mosques are carpeted, and in part of the congregational prayer, Muslims prostrate with their foreheads and noses touching the floor. Obviously, the original mosques didn't have flooring since it didn't exist yet, so Muslims prayed in their shoes. It is not forbidden to pray with shoes on. It's just a matter of keeping the prayer area clean.
