[quote=Anonymous]The rudeness or discomfort comes from when someone is not prepared to take thier shoes off.  I have problems with my feet, so wearing slippery socks on a bare wood floor is a problem.  I would be uncomfortable the entire time I was in your house.  My husband never goes shoeless, so he is very uncomfortable if asked to take off his shoes.

I also hate it when I come to pick up my kid at these houses and I have to decide whether to untie my shoes and take them off, or stand awkardky at the door.  If I know the people well enough, I can remember to wear shoes that slip off.

Providing slippers or socks with grippers would help, but if you are really worried about being impolite, only ask people who know the rule beforehand (so they can chose to wear socks and shoes that work).  Even then, yes, some of your guests are going to be very uncomfortable

I think some discomfort also comes from how differently I was raised.  I was taught that a good guest never removes thier shoes.
