[quote=Anonymous]Funny, I was in my thirties before I encountered this custom. I lived in a very multicultural part of Houston, TX and my realtor told me it was a normal Asian custom to remove shoes before entering a home (we were viewing a lot of homes that had this noted). I wasn't offended at all, and in fact, after he pointed out how clean the 5 year old carpets in the house were, I came to see it as a benefit! Now, we also have a wicker basket by our front door that we all drop our shoes into the minute we walk in the door. I have never been one to wear my shoes inside anyway, nor do I wear my shoes outside (even in snow) to run and get the mail or the morning paper!!) unless I'm going somewhere. So for me it's just natural to conform to a no shoes inside policy. Enforcing it with friends and neighbors... could be tricky. I'd go with a basket and a box of new flip flops for the extremely uncomfortable. 90% of people will get the drift and you can't win them all.[/quote]
