You should just be prepared to wash your floors after the party. It's that simple. The people who won't take their shoes off exist and may show up. If one person wears their shoes in your house, you'd need to clean the floors anyway. |
Gotta be. Please please let this be fake |
Um what do you think swabs would pick up on your bathroom floor? No matter what you’re wearing into the bathroom (outside shoes / inside shoes / socks / bare feet) - that will also get tracked around your house! |
Maybe some very expensive and small preschool only attended by rich people? |
You’ll be shocked to learn that someone who needs a brace to walk doesn’t do well with the extra fall hazard of sliding paper over my shoes. I left with no hard feelings when I couldn’t wear shoes. If people prioritize a shoe free house over accommodation for my issue, I’m fine with it. Truly, I am. I’m not saying that to be snarky. But that it really the situation I find myself in when people have shoe free events. |
You’re not pooping on your bathroom floor, are you? |
You have to be kidding, right? August is the worst month to be outside! |
My bathroom floor is frequently washed. The sidewalks, stores, roads, grass/fields, trails and driveways I also frequent not so much. |
i wear orthotics. my feet hurt without them. i woukd find it very weird to do this and if i knew it in advance would find an excuse not to attend |
When a toilet is flushed, microscopic fecal matter is flung around the bathroom. It’s the same logic as the idea that you pick up fecal matter walking on a sidewalk - you’re not actually stepping in poop. I’m just saying there’s no reason to get so hung up on this idea of microscopic matter being a risk. If you walk in and out of a bathroom, you’re tracking it around your house anyways. Just clean the floors regularly and all is good. |
My BFF has a similar need to wear shoes. She brings indoor shoes when she goes out, or if she is in a position to not change shoes, she wears shoe covers on her indoor shoes to the door and then removes those. |
Sure you’re stepping in poop on a sidewalk. Dogs, birds, rodents… not to mention all the other yuck that ends up on sidewalks like spilled food, vomit, and all the general dirt. |
Don't host! I would not take off my shoes. And I would be staying as it is a school networking event. You would have to ask me to leave and I promise that you will be very embarrassed by your behavior when I explain to all the guests why I must leave my shoes on. So rude! Don't invite Americans to your home and expect them to undress as a requirement to enter your house. |
of course it's fine--who tromps around the house in dirty shoes? maybe for a cocktail party where people are wearing heels yes, but not for a party involving kids. anyone who has ever met Asians, knows this is a nogo for many of them.

Yes so weird. |
