[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are not a shoes off household, we let people do what they want and most kids take shoes off but adults leave theirs on.

Just ask your guests to wear different shoes than their boots. Some guests need shoes and no slippers are not shoes and boot covers are slippery.

My mom has had 2 hip replacements, my MIL is an amputee, and my father has balance issues. All these people need sturdy, stable, non-slip shoes to be safe. Some people need ankle support and perhaps that’s what the hiking boots are for. No adult guest owes you an explanation of their health issues, but you could ask that they wear sneakers or shoes with non-marking soles. [/quote]

I will add that anyone who gets on their high horse about being a shoes off house but also has a cat or dog is a hypocrite. Do you clean your dog’s paws every time they come in? How about your can who walks in their litter box and then all over your house. Just as gross as whatever is on my shoes. I don’t eat off the floor and we sweep/roomba every other day and vacuum/wet mop once a week. [/quote]

My dog only walks outside on leash and doesn't enter any public restrooms. And yes I do wipe her feet off each and every time she comes in.

But I also don't host large gatherings beyond our parents/siblings/nieces/nephews or 4-6 close friends, for a variety of reasons. [/quote]
