[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just put up the sign. If they don't see it, oh well. If you happen to enter at the same time, take your shoes off slowly and move over so they can see the sign. If they still don't want to take their shoes off, oh well.

We do this at my parents. I take my shoes off because it is homey for me to do it. It feels like HOME. But, my white dh doesn't do it. And I find it annoying because he tracks in shoe marks. My parents and siblings don't say anything-see we don't impose our rules onto others. But, someone will eventually say 'Don't you want your shoes off, it feels good to not wear shoes.' 
Then again, my dh's whole family do NOT take their shoes off inside the house, not even their own home, and they wear it till AFTER dinner or until it's bed time. Annoying. And they wonder why the floor is so filthy. When I enter their home, I take my shoes off but realize the floor is dirtying my socks or bare feet. Yet, they make fun of me after I take my shoes off to get comfortable. [/quote]

If your in-law's floors are dirty, there is more going on then just not taking off shoes. I have been in lots of homes where people stay dressed in their shoes, even after dinner and until bedtime, and their houses are not at all dirty because they engage in regular housekeeping.
