[quote=Anonymous]You can announce shoes off multiple times before the event, but IME there will likely be just one person, but always just one, who will still need to be verbally reminded at the door. That person will often seem really surprised or even make a comment about it. But also that person is always a distant relative, older neighbor, or new to the US etc.

I loved the idea of throwing my home open to a wider circle than my regular milieu of friends my age (who literally all get it and do the same, even if they’re not from a culture that practices this like I am) and immediate family, but the fact that this has happened makes me realize that I am probably not going to regularly host any really big parties to avoid any possible mutual discomfort, for that one person. I do think the dividing line is around Gen X vs Millenial.

I also find it strange that these same people instinctively and immediately take their shoes off as soon as you have a new baby in the house! So there’s some acknowledgment somewhere that it is not a clean practice
