One more barefoot poll (guys only)
I figure it is your home and your rules. Once you explained the wheelchair thing only a real jerk would refuse to remove shoes, but asking socks too is a bit much.
A non-wheelchair person wearing shoes who demanded I take off mine would get told off quick. Actually, I go barefoot most of the time, and so do my friends, so I go in bare feet and they answer the door in bare feet. Nobody in the US wears shoes indoors much. especially if they have fancy floors.
