Do you take your shoes off before you enter a home

I almost never wear shoes in my house, especially in the wintertime. Other people's house? Usually not unless I am asked, or I know them reeeeealy well

Until I saw a man who had no feet.

Nope I'm not Asian

I never wear shoes

Always, unless it's a BBQ where I'll be heading right back outside.

Want me to take my shoes off in your house? Fine... But be prepared for the smell of Sperrys.

In Hawaii, yes. In New Orleans, no.

You want to come in my prace with shoes on? Not rikery.

Not unless asked, and at our house we try to keep shoes off the carpet, etc., but when guests come I don't ask them to.

That said, when you think about the nastiness that shoe soles bring into your home and deposit into carpet, etc., it really is disgusting. Public bathroom floors, street crud, parking lots. The average floor surface must be just littered with fecal matter, urine, dirt, dead animal leftovers, the list goes on. Really started to think about it after having a kid.

We should be more like the AZNs. I don't know how it became customary in the west to wear shoes all through people's homes, but most folks think you're a weirdo if you take off shoes or ask others to.
