Are shoes off people a bit weird?

[Anonymous]

A co-worker who is a big shoes off person mentioned he had a party and 40-60 people bare feet or in socks all waking around his house. I know they have wall to wall carpet and having some sweaty guys bare feet in my rug sounds a bit gross.

We were in the office which is nice, vacuumed every day and I said why wear shoes in the office, why no go shoeless here? He looked grossed out and said that’s disgusting.

To be honest I don’t see difference. Me personally I rather walk barefoot in office than on his rug at his home with 40 other smelly feet

Asking guests to take their shoes off at a party is so weird to me. I would never think of demanding that to party guests. Floors are meant to be walked on and vacuums exist for a reason.

Signed, someone who doesn’t wear shoes in their house.

Having sweaty guys’ bare feet on your rug is gross but having everyone’s shoes that walk around outside in excrement daily is grosser.

Not this again.

I think it's weird you had a conversation with a coworker about how many people were at his party and what their feet were doing. This is not a normal topic of conversation.

+1. I grew up in a shoes off home and maintain one now and I don’t see how people don’t get this. Plus everyone who is regularly in my home barefoot showers and has good personal hygiene. I’ve never seen sweaty feet. And even if they were sweaty, I live in a city with disgusting sidewalks with human and animal waste everywhere. The idea of shoes in my house is far more gross - vacuums don’t pick that up and I don’t care to sanitize my floors daily.

I live in Seattle. Everyone is shoes off. Everyone. Every party. I actually specifically tell people not to take their shoes off when I have parties and no one listens to me. It's so weird.

Seattle is the homeland for fussy, anxious people.

I've been there once, and it was one time too many.

Yes, they’re weird.

Nope. People who walk around their house in dirty shoes are weird. And gross.

I don’t want to women wearing stilettos messing up my woods floors.

No. People who walk all.ivwr dirty, mud, oil, vomit, piss, and fecal matter outside and demand to bring it in the house everywhere are the weirdos.

So gross.

In may shoes off cultures, people just bring a change of shoes to a party. I bring a nice clean pair of pointy toe flats to my parents when they have a dinner party. As a kid i rememebr traveling with a bag of shoes in winter to someones house since we took public transport and had big warm boots noone could wear inside for more than 5 min and overheat

how do the shoes off people accommodate older guests who have to wear shoes?

I have to wear inserts and shoes all the time or I am in pain.

I truly don’t care.
