+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]

It's not the "outfit"; it's walking around someone's house in your bare feet. It's embarrassing.[/quote]
Why are bare feet embarrassing? Do you constantly wear gloves so no one ever sees your hands? A scarf so no one ever sees your neck? What is wrong with your feet that you're so shamefully embarrassed about them? It's a pretty normal part of your body that people see. [/quote]

When do people see bare feet other than at a swimming pool?[/quote]
Literally all summer whenever someone wears sandals? Do you think a flip flop covers so much of a foot that it's wildly different?[/quote]

If I’m going somewhere and I know I’ll be wearing sandals, I’d make sure my feet looked good (i.e. I’d get a pedicure). If I’m going somewhere and I’m wearing close-toes shoes I’m not worried about my chipped nail polish but I’m going to be embarrassed when told to take my shoes off and show my feet, especially when I’m dressed nicely.
