[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How self-absorbed are you as a guest to not notice if a home is shoe-free or not?  We regularly host large parties (dinner, wine, super bowl, really any occasion) and have anywhere from 50-100 people in our home. I have yet to see anyone chafe at removing their shoes, and we don't mind if people need to where shoes for medical reasons. If people are declining invites because of our home being shoe-free, we never hear about it, and frankly if you are that socially unaware we don't want you in our home anyway.[/quote]

I think it's pretty hilarious that all the pro shoe people are saying it's rude of a host to ask you to take your shoes off, where I think it's rude if you're visiting someone's home not to conform to their rules.  It's the equivalent of having a play date and the visiting child wants to eat candy, but you don't give your child candy.  Are you going to serve candy to the other child even though it is against your house rules?  I'm sure there's a better play date analogy than that, but I bet that a lot of the people arguing about comfort and having to take off their shoes have house rules for their children that visiting kids also have to follow.

Good point, PP.

My child walks on our couches (i'm sure I'll get flamed for that, but whatever), but I teach her that other homes and different rules.
