[quote=Anonymous]I've lived in Korea and China but hate to have tell you that there is no polite way to make this request in the U.S. Polite guests will comply but in the North American cultural context polite hosts will not ask. Your best bet is to line up shoes by the front door -- maybe in a pretty shoe cabinet -- in a place where guests will have to see them and then smoothly offer to help them put their shoes away as you take their coats and purses. No matter how you do it some people are sure to feel offended even though they won't tell you.[/quote]
