[quote=Anonymous]We have friends who have a no-shoe policy and it's a little weird for several reasons.

1) Shoes are part of an outfit. If you're there, especially for a party, it's part of your complete "look"

2) Some people are self-conscious of their feet and would be very uncomfortable without shoes on. For instance, my husband hates how his feet look. He never even wears sandals. If he happened to be wearing shoes without socks and was asked to take them off he'd be EXTREMELY uncomfortable. He'd probably leave or at the very least never go back. Neurotic but true!

3) Some people need shoes on for support or safety. For example, my mother has knee problems and is a little shaky walking sometimes. She needs shoes for the support and also the traction. But she wouldn't want to cause a stir and would probably take her shoes off at a detriment to her safety.

Those are just a few reasons I can think of that I don't like a no-shoe policy. I do think it's ok to say something like "we usually take off shoes in the house, but if you'd rather not it's no big deal".

And we always take shoes off in our own home, though I would never ask others to do the same. [/quote]
