[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Canadian here. Shoes off in houses is a universal rule - the pile of boots at the door during a party is  a ubiquitous thing.

For a fancy party, people will sometimes bring shoes to change into and wear at the party. Also common to bring slippers to wear at someone else's house.

For work, in winter most people leave or bring a pair of "indoor" shoes to change into, and kids have indoor shoes they keep at school.

[b]Even my dentist asks you to change out of boots in the winter - they provide slippers and those paper booties things. [/quote][/b]

WTF. I’d change dentists.[/quote]

We have snow/ice/slush/salt on the ground most of the winter - everyone comes in wearing dripping boots (we live in a very walkable neighbourhood and I and I assume many of their patients are arriving on foot). It doesn't bother me but again it's more of a cultural norm here. The gym has shelves by the main entrance to put your boots and also plastic bags to put your boots in if you prefer to keep them in your locker too. [/quote]

I’m from Minnesota and this is common there too, but at my house in Virginia I’d still never ask guests to take off their shoes. Because it’s not Minnesota.[/quote]
