Carrying shoes during Tawaf
Question: Is it permissible to carry shoes with oneself during Tawaf?
Answer: There is no harm in carrying shoes during Tawaf of the House of Allah, provided the shoes are clean and free from any dirt. It is also permissible to keep them on the feet because there is evidence in several authentic Ahadith that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) prayed both barefoot and wearing shoes.

Reference: Abu Dawood, Kitab al-Salat: Bab al-Salat fi al-Na’l 653

Therefore, worshipping while wearing clean shoes is permissible and there is no objection in it.
