[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand this. Since when does taking off shoes equal barefoot? Don’t people wear socks (most of the times)? If being barefoot makes you so uncomfortable, just wear socks. [/quote]

Socks are a slipping invitation.  I know someone who slipped and broke collar bone wearing socks at a "no shoes home" party. Why can't you just vacuum your floors after party like the rest of us?[/quote]
LOL again, something that never happened.

My gosh, americans are just cowering in fear of removing their shoes lest they get some horrific disease or break bones? GMAFB. Making up sh!t like this doesnt make your position stronger, it weakens it that you have to go to such extreme lengths to try and smear it. [/quote]

Then be a sh!tty host. People have told you they don’t want to take their shoes off but you’re going to insist they do anyway. There’s terrible hosting. So do what you want but you’re not in the right here. You’re making your guests uncomfortable on purpose. [/quote]

NP.

No- sorry not sorry.  Those are terrible guests for not removing shoes when requested.

People who dislike removing shoes in this situation are culturally insensitive.  Maybe even borderline racists.[/quote]

Ha, ok. You want to win because you think you can call people racist for not removing their shoes with no warning in a situation that is not expected (this is not an open house). You're not right and you're not better. You are, however, welcome to ask people to take their shoes off. And they are welcome to respond as they wish. [/quote]

[b]I think people are more than ok with it.[/b] Threatening to not come isn’t really going to change any opinions. I’m not going to uproot my household rules and preferences because of you and your funky feet. [/quote]

Except that many, many people have told you that they are not ok with it. But you keep arguing with and dismissing them. I don't care if you don't change your rules because you don't sound like someone I would want to spend time with anyway. But it might behoove you to understand what it means to graciously host people. [/quote]
