Re: on or off

WE dont ask company to remove shoes...we do ask the kids (our family) to remove their shoes..but dont ask adults too. We figure adults are a bit more carefull at wiping their feet than the kids are.

To be honest...its kind of a pet peeve with me when I go to someones house and they ask me to take off my shoes. I guess it stems from my childhood...I was raised with a father who had the worst smelling feet IN THE WORLD! I mean you could smell them from two rooms away. My mom used to make him keep his shoes in the garage...It wasnt a fad to remove your shoes in other peoples houses back then...but if it had been...I as a child would have been mortified. I would hate to ask someone to remove their shoes at my house only to find out they had the same kind of stinky feet my dad had.... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif[/img]

Re: on or off

the kids are asked to remove their shoes but they are used to it because they do it at their homes.

we dont ask the adults to do the same though..

Re: on or off

I prefer if people keep their shoes on. The last thing I want to see and smell are other people's feet. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70400-talktohand.gif[/img] Having the common areas of the house completely tiled is very helpful.

When I have pesky Canadian guests, they always insist on taking off their shoes. No matter how I protest, they leave their shoes at the door. I own two pairs of socks, and not one pair of slippers, so I have nothing to offer those who choose to remove shoes.

Dahjah is the only Canadian that spares me from seeing his socks or toes.

Re: on or off

We don't take our shoes off here. Or should I say Mukluks. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cold.gif[/img]

I have been to houses where people expect that and I have never felt comfortable there.
