[quote=Anonymous]I’m a flexible shoes off person, and Asian American fwiw (so is my European American husband). What I find interesting about these threads is how many (white American?) posters truly seem to view feet as obscene, like a private body part. Similar to the NYT style article recently complaining about men wearing sandals. In my suburban neighborhood, dog owners frequently fail to pick up after themselves and it’s easy to get large, non microscopic bits of poop on your shoes. (Distinct from the microscopic bits of fecal matter probably everywhere in the bathroom and on phones.) We generally teach our kids to take off our shoes inside. But we don’t require guests to take their shoes off. And I’m not remotely offended by the sight of bare feet, pedicured or not. [/quote]
