+1. I noticed that too and figured that PP has never even been to Asia! We live in Japan and you take your shoes off in the entry, neatly place them in a designated spot, and wear slippers provided by the host (who keeps a basket of various sizes in the entry). I shudder to think of the giant centipedes, banana spiders, and cockroaches that could take up residence if PP's imaginary Asian scenario were actually true!

Are you saying that guests wear slippers that other guests have worn? I have to admit I would be hesitant to put my feet in slippers that other people have worn, it doesn't seem terribly hygienic.

But it's good hygiene to track all the dog crap, tar, and god-knows-what-else-you-trampled-on-each-day into your home?

do you lick your floors?

btw, they can be washed.

I don't always have a pedicure done that is why I hate it when I'm surprised by a take off your shoes request. Then I spend the rest of the time at the person's house slightly uncomfortable. I have one friend who does this, so I know now, but I would be shocked if at a big party the request was made - and probably so grossed out by so many bare feet I'd need to leave ASAP. And yes, you look like a tool in a dress that needs heels and some of my pants need heels or they drag on the floor which is rude to do to my pants.

it makes me uncomfortable for people to try to debate it. I have allergies, and I subscribe to the house rules of wherever I am visiting.

Besides, TB and other illnesses are possible.

If you are not a show free house, fine.

How self absorbed are you that you think people are going to look at your feet? That's hilarious!!
