[quote=Anonymous]OP here - Wow, I'm overwhelmed by the number of responses.  Thanks to all who took the time to give their honest feedback.
Just to clarify two points on my side:
1) For dinner parties that are not with close friends, I wouldn't ask people to take off shoes - but I would also have the house cleaned right afterwards (pretty normal, right?)  I would understand for a more dressy event, not taking off your shoes... sure.
2) We don't have pets either - so no, I wouldn't let pets into my house...

I am just more comfortable and at home when my shoes are off.  They aren't sweaty and tied up in the shoes and I can sit crosslegged at the computer (as I am now!) or curl up on the couch.  So besides the cleanliness factor, it's also a comfort factor.

I have some neighbors who I am friends with, but not CLOSE friends.  They know we are a no shoes policy - but they "forget" to take off their shoes when they come over.  I feel like a jerk always reminding/asking them to take their shoes off, but it really does irk me!

Someone earlier mentioned a friendly sign - what would the sign say?!?![/quote]
