[quote=Anonymous]So to summarize what I read in this thread:  it appears that the majority of responses from people who have no shoes households, say they don't mandate that their guests remove their shoes, although it is preferred.  Also in these no shoes houses, it appears that guests voluntarily remove their shoes as soon as they notice it's a no shoes house so there's no issue.   The exception being a formal gathering.

We are in no shoes house. And my attitude seems to match the majority in that I don't ask guest to take off their shoes. However, the majority of my guests take off their shoe as soon as they enter my house, this includes the friends of my kids who come over.  They also remove their shoes as soon as they walk in the door, which leads me to believe that they are also from no shoes houses.

I do not entertain "formally" very frequently, but when I do, I do not ask anybody to remove shoes, and in these instances, typically guests don't take them off either.

So, in my limited experience. Informal, gatherings of friends coming to visit for a drink or to just visit ... shoes come off. Formal gatherings where people are dressed up for a party, shoes on. And reading this thread, that seems to be the most common situation. Unless culturally it is not applicable within that culture.

For what it's worth, I am a white anglo saxon born here in the USA.
