[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are going to make me take my shoes off, you better tell me ahead of time.  I sometimes wear shoes without socks and I don't want to walk barefoot on your gross floors.[/quote]

Oh no!  Their floors are PRISTINE and they absolutely must keep them that way at all costs![/quote]

This is what I don't get.... I don't eat food off the floor, or lick the floor? So why do I really care that there are people walking in shoes on them? [/quote]

Do you have rugs or carpet? If you only have hardwood floor and tile throughout your entire house, sure shoes aren’t a problem because you can mop. We have rugs. And kids play on the floor. They don’t need to be pristine, but when I walk through one or two rooms in a shoes on house (my in-laws), my socks become black on the bottom. That’s gross. [/quote]

I admit I find this whole strident attitude about shoes on/off fairly bizarre, but honestly, PP? We have rugs and kids and cats, and we sweep, vacuum, and mop the floors regularly. We do not have hard and fast rules about shoes on or shoes off, but there is no universe in which a person walking around in a pair of white socks would have black socks on my floors.

It is actually possible to be a moderate on this issue and to also not have active filth on your floors dirtying up your guests' socks. Perspective please.[/quote]
