[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not particularly weird, but I’m not a fan of situations where the host asks you to remove shoes and there’s no advance warning that it’s a shoe-free house and no provision of slippers. From cold feet, to holey socks, to athlete’s foot, there are a lot of reasons why some of us are more comfortable with shoes on and need some sort of heads-up if we must remove them.[/quote]

This is such a common expectation now its weird to be put off by it. And as there’s so much supporting evidence of all the literal crap shoes bring in-I find shoe wearing homes gross. [/quote]

We’re a shoe-free household, but I don’t ask unless my guests question our preference. We have elderly guests and guests with babies — I understand they need the support of shoes and slipping in socks is a risk. We provide slippers for overnight guests/family who know our preferences. I also always make sure I pack a pair of socks when I go to someone’s house if I’m wearing flats —think it’s weird to walk around barefoot, but respect their wishes and understand how dirty shoes are or cultural differences.[/quote]
