No shoes in the house people

[Anonymous]

I can't imagine going to a holiday party all dressed up and wearing my Manolos and needing to leave them at the door.

I think it is so disgusting to have to walk barefoot into someone else's powder room. I frequently wear ballet flats so don't wear socks that often.

Or to have to suffer with those tacky disposable foot cover things.

You’re pretty tacky with those manolos

I'm going to someone's house today for a holiday party and am planning on wearing an outfit with these tall boots that require kind of a lot of effort to take off. And they really complete the outfit. I just had the realization that maybe it's not the best choice of footwear in case they require people to take their shoes off. Should I wear them or rethink?

No, we block off certain parts of the house for the party and just plan to have those parts deep cleaned after the party. This is part of why we always schedule our cleaning people to come the morning after we host parties.

I am surprised at all these provincial comments from those who fancy themselves to be worldly, open-minded people. Am I on Redneck Urban Moms?

Redneck Manolo-wearing Urban Moms, yes

I'm a no shoes in the house person but for a party I would allow them. I'd wash the floors after the party either way so they might as well.

Oh, God. Don’t get the Anti-Shoe Crazies started. They loooove a platform for their dysfunction.

Why would it be rude? It’s their home.

Because it’s rude. If you’re a polite host, guests’ comfort vines before your own and *many* people don’t like or want to be barefoot or in socks in a group of other people, especially when dressed up for a party. Don’t like it? Don’t host.

It’s incredibly rude.

Would you let someone smoke a cigarette in your no smoking home?

Holy false equivalence, Batman!

It’s cute how you really thought you said something here.

For parties, we sweep and vacuum the floor but will not mop our floors. For a party, our house is superficially clean but not really sanitized. We also do not tell our guests to take off their shoes for their convenience. Since we have mainly hard flooring all over the house, we prefer to clean it very, very frequently so that the floors feel silky clean. After a party, we do deep cleaning and sanitizing. Sweeping, dusting, double mopping with tide and steam, cleaning and sanitizing the powder room, washing all rugs that are washable, table cloth, table mats and napkins etc.

I think, you should ask the host about it and it is prefectly ok to ask. 'Hey, do you have a no-shoes policy for parties? I am asking because I can figure out the footwear for the party." . I personally take grippy socks and disposable shoecovers in my purse when I go to anyone's house. I can accommodate whatever is their preference.

I would never have people over if I was that OCD. What a PITA.

You don't have any people over anyways, so why are you commenting? Your ugly snark means you are basically friendless and unlikable. No one's coming to your dirty house!!

Oh, honey, I know you wish that were true, but it isn’t. Get help for your OCD tendencies.

It’s rude to ask people to take off articles of clothing so that they can enter your house. Rude and a bit creepy, too.

I’m a no-shoes household, but never when we entertain! I like to coordinate my outfit-shoes & think it’s rude when people ask you to remove shoes (although of course if do it and never mention anything)

Exactly. Same as me. Plus it’s weird having everyone dressed up but bare or socked feet. And slippery.
