All tile and hardwood downstairs so shoes downstairs are okay. No shoes upstairs. Kids and adults take their shoes off at the stairs, but if you have to run upstairs to grab something you don't have to go through all that bull####.

Shoes anytime, anywhere. That goes for my wide and I, the kids and guests. We have hardwood and carpet.
It probably shouldn't be that way, based on the carpet, but whatever.

If it's raining or snowing outside, I want my guests to take off their shoes. But I don't remember ever having to ask.

Really?Out of curtsy I always start to remove my shoes whenever I enter someone else's home. If they tell me it's ok to leave them on then I will, but otherwise I always take them off.

The whole take your shoes off thing reminds me of my aunt. She had a living room with very nice furniture and carpet. Spent good money on it. And no one was allowed to use that room. And the stuff no one could sit on? It was wrapped in heavy plastic just in case someone did, heaven forbid. You put down carpet to walk on not to agonize over every shod step.

This isn't Japan. Don't tell me to take off my shoes after you've invited me inside .Really?Out of curtsy I always start to remove my shoes whenever I enter someone else's home. If they tell me it's ok to leave them on then I will, but otherwise I always take them off.

Good carpet should stand up to normal use for years. Even when you wear shoes. We invented this thing called a vacuum. And there are these companies now that clean carpets. It's an amazing time to be alive.Yep. Just compare my carpet to said shoe wearer's carpet.Really?Out of curtsy I always start to remove my shoes whenever I enter someone else's home.

So instead you get a person's sweat. Which means you are having contact with their bodily fluids. That seems antiseptic.

Yeah, I'll pass on you airing out your dogs if it's all the same to you. Also don't want you taking off your pants before you sit on my couch, either.

Always ask.
Don't need to take them off immediately or anything but wearing shoes around in your own house is weird.

How bad do you think the feet smell of the people who come into your house? If they're that bad you need different friends.Yeah, I'll pass on you airing out your dogs if it's all the same to you.

Generally no shoes in my house. Guests can do whatever they want. When I'm a guest I honor my hosts wishes. Very simple.

exactly. She's beautiful, nice, good with money, good mom, fun in the bedroom and i've been happily married 20 yrs. I'm not about to screw this one up over some ####### shoes

Pretty much the same here. My family all takes our shoes off when we enter but part of that is if the kids didn't, they would take them off eventually and forget where they put them.Old house had carpet so we always took off shoes at door and guest did so also. This house has wood floors so as long as it isn't raining or snowing shoes can stay on but out of habit I still take mine off at the door.

Hawk move is to show up a little late...if you see a pile of shoes by the door go ahead and take them off. If not...anything goes

Shoes off at the door. Guests are polite enough to not have to be asked to do so.

We don't even allow pants.
Doctor Detroit
Please remove your headgear
Shark move on a date is to bring a chick back to the house and tell her no pants are allowed in your house.

I'll take them off if that's what the host wishes for. But I don't get it at all. It still seems weird to me to have guests walking around in socks or barefooted.
Then again, I'm never terrible comfortable without shoes on anyway. I have them on from the time I get up until I go to bed.
If it's really a carpet thing, I have to ask, who the #### still has carpet where guests might go? I seriously can't remember the last time I was in anyone's house and set my feet on carpet other than stairs.. I thought everyone had gotten rid of that stupid crap. And why would the sort of germphobes that get anal about shoes inside shoes to have carpet in their home? Floors covered in moisture/bacteria trapping fabric? I don't get it.

Apparently it's a combination of masking tremendous foot odor and saving other people from walking through foot sweat.

At home yhe shoes come off as soon as i walk through the door. If I'm visiting family, then sure I'll kick the shoes off after a while but visiting friends? Seems presumptuous of me to walk around barefoot in someone else's home.

Does everyone in the USA have dirty feet and dirty floors?

my mother in law is like this also. She has everyone take their shoes off upon entering. At Christmas we show up with an expedition full of crap. Every time I come in from the 15 degree temps I've got to take my shoes off to walk our stuff to the bedroom. Then on Christmas day, when the whole family shows up we've got about 30 pairs of shoes by the front door..............and every year Uncle James' feet stink.

I think living in snowy, slushy climes factors into the opinions. I guess I'd be pissed if someone was clomping around in his dirty snowshoes or galoshes or whatever you Canucks wear. In the south we sweat so I want that #### under wraps.
