Yeah formal events shoes stay on.
and like I said it's not a concrete thing, there are plenty of people who do take off their shoes at people's houses, especially depending the people involved.
But I've never heard of anyone wearing them in their own house.
My best guess is it's just a thing people think is rude, usually people have matts to kick the dirt off your shoes, so I think it's just a thing like you wouldn't just walk to and open someone's fridge and take whatever you want out.
You don't want to act like you own the place, by kicking off your "smelly" shoes.

That's my best guess anyway.
In my experience, the problem usually isn't the shoes being smelly
