[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Host it at a party room. It doesn’t have to be your house. [/quote]

+1 people who require guests to take their shoes off should have their parties in places other than their homes…. or just invite people from the same cultural background to their home where taking shoes off is typically done.

I don’t want to go to someone’s house with a formal cocktail dress and be barefoot.

And I don’t want to walk around in my dress while wearing random slippers that have been used by other people.

Do people a favor and not have them over to your house in the first place. It’s really not necessary.

I agree. We are strictly a no shoes house and I have absolutely no problem asking people to take their shoes off when they come in. I also don’t host large gatherings because as can be seen from the thread some people are uncomfortable about taking shoes off. [b]But I don’t knew why these people are so offended by taking their shoes off. [/b]It’s not as if we are asking them to take off their clothes or a head covering! [/quote]

I don't mind removing my shoes if asked but c'mon, you have not read this thread if you are asking this question.  People have given many reasons for not wanting to remove shoes: foot issues such as plantar fasciitis, not wanting bare feet on someone's dirty floors, not wanting to be barefoot in. bathroom, needing specific shoes to keep braces in, potentially having holey socks on, not wanting people to see their feet because they have foot issues or haven't had a pedicure in a while, having the shoes be part of the outfit

Also, FYI, someone not wanting to do something doesn't mean he/she is offended by you asking for it.  [/quote]
