[quote=Anonymous]OP - yes we do offer slippers exactly for the reason of comfort and sweaty feet etc., and obviously we don’t insist on shoes off in THEIR house! I don’t judge them - only curious why they don’t take them off - is it a cultural thing, is there a reason, or is it just the norm and no one gives a thought. Had no idea this is a “controversial” topic, lol. Most of my friends (Americans and not) take off shoes inside. I singled out the in laws because we are close enough to them to be in their house often and see how they live, and they are the only people we know who are adamantly shoes on if that makes sense. Like even in their bedroom which has carpet. And no dogs or pets in their house. Why are some people offended if you ask about this ….? If someone asked me why do you take shoes off inside I’d happily explain. Thanks to the PPs who mentioned the WASP/blue blood thing, that’s interesting and it actually fits their profile. [/quote]
