[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not particularly weird, but I’m not a fan of situations where the host asks you to remove shoes and there’s no advance warning that it’s a shoe-free house and no provision of slippers. From cold feet, to holey socks, to athlete’s foot, there are a lot of reasons why some of us are more comfortable with shoes on and need some sort of heads-up if we must remove them.[/quote]

[b]This is such a common expectation now its weird to be put off by it. [/b]And as there’s so much supporting evidence of all the literal crap shoes bring in-I find shoe wearing homes gross. [/quote]

I was a principal ballet dancer (Prima Ballerina) for 20+ years & it absolutely ravaged my feet... permanently.

Today, I can only walk wearing shoes with supports in them, I can no longer walk bare footed AT ALL.  At home, I wear  custom slippers with the same supports in them, but they are very expensive as everything in them are custom made just for my feet.

What would you have me do in this situation?[/quote]

You tell the host that you need to wear your shoes.  What’s the big deal?[/quote]

Is your explanation for needing shoes better than the hosts explanation for needing shoes off?  What if both have health related reasons?  The host should matter, it is only polite.  If I go somewhere, I do what the host does.  Period. [/quote]
