[quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't know, but I just moved to an East Asian country for work and I am having the opposite problem.  It is shoes-off-at-home everywhere; every family in our very expensive building has a big shoe rack in the hall outside their door to keep all of their shoes.

But I don't want people walking in their bare feet in my home, especially because it is hot outside and many people are wearing sandals with no socks.  I don't want the sweat and oil from other people's feet on my wood floors or rugs.  Over and over, I ask people to please keep their shoes ON as they enter my home, but they refuse and take them off anyway.

I'm ready to just buy a rack of cheap flipflops and tell each visitor to choose one at the door.  Maybe you could do the same, OP?  Get some cheap flipflops that are new, and people may be more comfortable doing that than going barefoot (I'm hoping my guests and contractors will feel comfortable enough to do this and stop walking on my floors and rugs in their nasty bare feet).[/quote]
