[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Indian American here - so grew up with plenty of formal gatherings (if women draped in silk and gold and gems is formal) with no shoes.

No shoe house now - but my midwestern husband wears his shoes in the house sometimes, it only annoys me because of the grit that gets dragged in on the treads of his shoes.

If we have people over, I don’t care - all hardwood and throw rugs, but 90% of the adults who come over take their shoes off without prompting - 100% of the kids.  Most of our friends have no shoe houses and the only common factor is their age (younger GenX-older Millennials).  We often bring indoor slippers to wear at house parties!

The only time I’ve been strict about it as an adult was when we had a crawling baby/new walker. [/quote]

It’s looks so much better to be barefoot while wearing a long saree or lengha than it is to be barefoot and wearing a little black dress.

When a woman is wearing Indian clothes you can hardly even see a her feet in the first place. Formal western dresses that are short look ridiculous if you are barefoot or wear socks (shudder).

So you’re comparing apples to oranges!

But the OP didn’t specify it was a “Western” (European?) Formal event.

I’m sure that’s what you and 98% of the posters assumed, but if we’re going to continue with the apples and oranges, the question was about fruit, not apples.  [/quote]
