[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This “no shoes” trend seems weird to me. Why not require someone to change into a robe when entering your home? After all, clothes carry germs too and people will be sitting on your furniture? Most US- born Americans I know don’t do the “no shoes” thing.[/quote] Another person raised white middle-class, and my parents were definitely shoes-indoors people, assuming the shoes were dry. When my friends and I went to one another houses, we'd ask the parents if we could take our shoes off, because it was seen as a sign of informality. My parents were raised in households with help, so maybe that's why they grew up not worrying about how to minimize housework (my mom cleaned our house herself -- I guess my parents were downwardly mobile?). But our friends are shoes-on people (or at least not mandatory shoes off), so I think it's probably more age-related (we were all born in the 60s or early 70s)[/quote]
