I am half European and half Asian. [b]When i was a child, my European mother's family used to consider it the height of rudeness to remove shoes, but our close relatives got used to it. [/b]We never asked it of our older, more conservative family members.

I would hope that now it's a more accepted lifestyle. I married into an Asian family and we always politely request that guests remove their shoes, except for large indoor-outdoor parties where everyone stays in their shoes and we mop up afterward.

What?  The Europeans I know and visit regularly (both in the U.S. and in Europe) ALWAYS remove their shoes in the house.  [/quote]

Please read my post.

This was not the case a few decades ago, and older generations still don't like it.

And having lived in various European countries most of my life (France, UK and Germany), I think I know more Europeans than you.

Doubtful.  I don't know what kind of Europeans you hang out with, but they must not have very good manners.  Most Europeans with nice, big homes are strictly shoes off.
