It is is form of showing respect to the god. However it has a hygienic reasoning. By keeping the shoes outside, one does not carry the dust, filth and dirt from outside. This practice is widely followed in all the modern food and pharma manufacturing industries. People are not allowed to enter with their shoe, but have to keep off them outside and wear one from inside the area before entering the said area.
