[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in SW Michigan and had family in Dallas TX. No one ever took their shoes off upon entering the house. Including my grandfather who was in the oil business and occasionally went out into the fields in his cowboy boots. [b]It just wasn't done. When we visited houses where you had to take your shoes off it felt weird. Especially if someone wasn't wearing socks and their feet were bare and showing. Weird and awkward. Almost obscene lol. [/b]

I now take my shoes off when I get home, but more for reasons of comfort. If I am going out again within an hour or so I don't take them off and would never ask guests to do so. I really don't worry about dirt on the floors. I never suffered any ramifications of dirt on the floors, even with having shoes on in house my whole life, so -- I don't get some people's obsession with this. [/quote]

Yes to the bold! It is really uncomfortable and[b] a bit embarrassing[/b]. DH doesn't leave the bedroom with out his shoes on, lol.[/quote]

I wonder where this weird foot shaming thing that you people have came from. I'm American as can be, my mom was active in DAR, and we've always been a shoes off family.[/quote]
