[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If more than two couples, i would not task anyone to take shoes off. Close doors to bedrooms and schedule cleaners for the next day. Remember that unless you are in a city, most people drive and just go to stores. My heels that i bring out for a party arent used for hiking.
I habe a shoes free household for us. But i would never ask my inlaws to take their orthopedic shoes off for example. When hosting, its about guest comfort. [/quote]

I am 59 years old and don't wear orthopedic shoes - that you can tell.  BUT I have horrible feet and knees and wear orthotics in my shoes.  I am nearly NEVER without shoes - even in my own home I can't walk around barefoot as it's incredibly painful on my knees.  So I would comply, but I'd need to sit most of the night, so please make sure you have enough seating for everyone - I CANNOT be left leaning against a counter standing for an hour or so.

Also, I think you need to tell people, or (like many women) I'd wear cute shoes with no socks - unless it's winter - and then I'd be barefoot - isn't that grosser?  Just, ugh.  Also, my socks don't always pass muster for public view - I might have a small hole in one heel that won't show but I don't have time to find another pair that matches, etc.

But on the other hand - your home, your rules.  I just don't see why all adults hanging around in the livingroom, diningroom and kitchen is so gross - none of them were out hiking in their shoes they'd wear to a party, NONE of them are going to jump on the beds or even go into the bedroom.  You can vacuum and wash the floors the next day - you will have to clean up anyway from the party. [/quote]
