What does 'take out your shoes' mean?

I’ve never heard that expression. Can you give context or more detail?
Perhaps you’ve misheard or misread.

OK, if someone said that to you, they probably did want you to put your shoes outside. If your shoes are trainers, they may be a bit smelly. If I were in their position I might say:
“Could you put your shoes outside please- they’re a bit strong!”,
but there isn’t really an accepted way of making that request. If you’re in any doubt, you could always ask what they mean, but I guess the least embarrassing way of dealing with it is to apologise and comply. I was once in a similar situation where the host asked me to leave my shoes outside, but I misunderstood what he was saying and treated it as a joke. He repeated his request a bit later and explained that he had a newborn baby that crawled on the floor and he didn’t want it to be exposed to any dirt I might have brought in on the soles of my shoes.
😬
In many cultures it’s expected that you remove your shoes when entering a house, but they’re usually left in the hallway, not outside!
Cheers
Andy.
