[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really, this "trash" thing obviously goes both ways. Shoe removers think shoe keepers are trash for not asking them to remove their shoes and shoe wearers think the removers are trash for being rude and presumptuous enough to think the relationship is somehow comfortable enough for the removers to take off their shoes. In my house. It's just a matter of preference. If a person immediately removes their shoes when entering my house, I will not make them feel odd and would hope that if I visit them and forget, they will be kind enough not to remind me. Common manners dictate that guests should not be put on the spot when visiting another's home. If my DH has socks with holes, and you make fun of him after you have asked him to come out of his comfort zone and remove his shoes, then you are the one with the problem.[/quote]

This poster makes sense.

Nothing is more gross to me than everyone sitting around, in NICE clothes, with their bare or socked feet out.  I like beautiful and well-made shoes and I like how they compliment or even MAKE an outfit, even on a normal day.  I DO NOT want to stare at someone's gnarly toes or their unmanicured heels....ugh.  I would rather risk MRSA.[/quote]
I get the whole "shoes off" thing, but sometimes when I see people with their shoes off, it makes me feel as if they are almost naked. I find it almost disarming. The more completely and nicely dressed they are with only their shoes off, the more I feel that way. If I were in Japan I probably wouldn't feel that way, but I'm not, I'm in the US.[/quote]
