[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. But [b]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]

[b]So you REALLY can't understand why someone would be annoyed [/b]that they showed up to a party at a house in a nice dress and heels and were then told to take their shoes off and as a result they have to walk around a stranger's house barefoot for the rest of the evening? You can't fathom why someone would be bothered by that? Even after 20 pages of people giving multiple reasons why it's an issue? Because if you can't, then that speaks volumes. [/quote]
DP, but no. All the excuses about ailments, maybe. But just to be "annoyed" because your outfit looks different than with your high heels? That's ridiculous. Millions (billions?) of other people on earth manage just fine. [/quote]

You don't find it disgusting to walk around someone's house barefoot with 20 other people also barefoot in there? Ok...

Also, people's clothes are generally tailored to be worn with shoes. I have several dresses that would drag all over the floor if worn without heels.

But again, there is clearly no helping you and [b]you don't care what other people think.[/b] [/quote]
And yet no one seems to care in the reverse for the hosts rules and home. Glass houses and stones and all that. [/quote]

It’s very simple - if you expect people to take their shoes off at your house then either don’t host or warn people that this will be required. I swear must be pretending to be this stupid. [/quote]
