[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I know I’m going to be at someone’s house for a while, I bring my indoor-only slippers. I get to be comfy and also respectful of their home!

I would never presume that it’s okay to leave my shoes on. I like things clean myself and it’s hard to imagine how often you’d have to clean floors if you were tracking in all the yuck from outside every day. [/quote]

But it's not every day.  It's one party.

No one is saying not to be shoes free most days.  They are just saying that if you're hosting a large party, then loosen up the rules and clean up after. [/quote]

No. Many people are saying they have rare foot problems and have medical grade shoes prescribed by a doctor that never come off their feet. That’s what’s uncommon. Not shoes off.[/quote]

Plantar fasciitis, arthritis of the foot, and peripheral neuropathy are three common disorders that can make it hard or painful for people to walk without shoes.

Shoes off at an adult dinner party is uncommon enough that people don't plan for it, so you need to warn people in advance.  [/quote]

I will. I also know foot issues are as uncommon in the people I know as general shoes off is for others. So this isn’t an issue.[/quote]

OP is hosting a school party. You know the foot health of all the parents in your child's class? I assure you, you do not. [/quote]

I wouldn’t worry about it. If i make the request then they can request an exemption. See how that works? Im also not going to poll everyone on every allergy or food aversion they have. Or individually ask everyone what their preferred beverage iid ti have it on hand. Im the host and if you can’t roll with the punches and be gracious, stay home. We won’t be friends anyway.[/quote]
