It is not a religion requirement if shoes are clean and free from visible and/or known dirt. However, it is currently a tradition for hygienic reasons to keep ground (covered with carpets/rugs) clean and tidy especially during Muslim Soujoud (touching the ground with faces during praying or salat).
Additional view pointAlso, to add on to the answer above, the sole of the shoes that we walk on may have been covered with some dirty substances such as dog excretion, therefore it is a religious requirement (compulsory) that the ground we pray on must be clean of such substances. Also, it is sunnat (prophet Muhammad PBUH sayings and practices) to take off your shoes when entering masjid (mosque).A mosque is sacred. Muslims remove their shoes to respect the sacred grounds and keep them clean.

Removing shoes before entering a house is usually a cultural rather than a religious tradition. It is common to many Eastern countries, as well as Scandinavia. However, some religions require removing shoes before entering a house of worship or a temple. Muslims remove their shoes before entering a mosque, Hindus remove shoes before entering a temple, and Sikhs remove shoes before entering a gurudwara.
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.
