      Don't do parties at home if that is the case. Im asian and i know these stuff but hate it in a party setting. Will just stay at home. On a daily basis, feel free to do your rules or let's say you have a repair guy coming or a few friends then you can ask them to take their shoes off but also be considerate to give them disposable slippers. I personally do have foot ache when i walk barefoot on a marble or tile floor. I hate the cold feeling. You might also catch athlete's foot. And in a party setting, people wore their best and took time to dress up then at the end they will just be barefoot or wearing slippers?!?!

    As an East African Muslim it’s part of our culture to not wear shoes indoors because we pray in our homes and therefore the floor has to be clean at all times. Being outside and walking around picking up dirt everywhere and then coming home and not taking off that dirty shoes is beyond gross and disgusting! When I was younger and would go to friends houses and people would wear their shoes indoors it was quite a culture shock to me.

      That's not islam. That's culture. I'm muslim and we never grew up going around bare feet in the house. In Arab societies, removing your shoes or being asked to remove shoes in the hall of someone's house is Not welcoming at all..quite the opposite, quite rude. No one will come in to dirty the house and if they do, well so what. It's human it happens and this is my guest. Should I rant and rave about shoes or be welcoming to them. So again this is from culture, not from religion.

I absolutely respect the no shoes in the home policy, I honor it in my home as well, however, it is greatly appreciated when I am provided socks or slippers as a guest in someone’s home on the off chance I forgot my own.

It is never even a thought, we just do it automatically. To me, a big pile of shoes at the door is a sign of a fun party/gathering! I do think it's a respect/cleanliness thing here as well. Like Adrienne said, the thought of tracking in all the dirt from outside and anything you might have stepped in seems gross, and I wouldn't want to do that to someone when I came to their house.

    I’m American and culturally didn’t grow up with a requirement to my shoes off but it was an unspoken rule to do so. Every so often I might come home and forget but it wasn’t the end of the world. Growing up, going to other peoples houses I would immediately start taking off my shoes and when some one would say “oh, you can keep them on” I thought that was weird and that’s when I realized it was an unspoken rule at my house. However, when moved out of my parents house I definitely incorporated a ( very spoken) no shoe rule in my house and I do have slippers/socks or shoe covers if guests or the handyman prefers that. Side note I live in New York…so yea it’s more of a clean thing! If I ever move it will be the same!

    I will respect house rules.
    That said, I see both sides. It is much cleaner to leave shoes at the door. However, it's true lots of us do not want to walk around barefoot, especially in a house we're not accustomed to. If you're clumsy, you easily hit your toe or step on something. It's not good for the feet. Some of us are self-conscious as the ladies said, and sometimes the shoes are part of the outfit if there's a party. Some of my pants are literally the length for me to wear heels with them. So I just think it's nice to have shoe covers or give your guests a heads-up about house rules if they're new to your home. That way they can be sure to wear socks, get a pedicure, or whatever.

    Jurst because you don't wear outside shoes in your house, that does not mean that your floor is clean!

I'm the kind of person who never asks someone to do something if I don't give them an alternative to make them seelf comfortable. No one forced them to be in my house, therefore when I ask them to remove their shoes I always have to provide them with clean socks and slippers and be mindful to buy different sizes. I hate being barefeet or walking around only with my socks on, so I have to provide people with different options.

We don’t have a problem complying with your rules if you don’t allow shoes in your home, but you need to have something to put on my feet when I’m at your home because idk if your floors are clean or not. At least have disposable foot socks for guests to put over their shoes or on their actual feet so they can feel comfortable. That’s what I do. I learned that from experience. I had a friend who’s family does not allow shoes in the home, so I took my shoes off and end up with black feet. Therefore, if you’re gonna ask ppl to take off their shoes, have something for them to put on their feet…Since then I’ve invested in disposable socks and slippers.

    My home is a 'no shoes' inside home. I do offer shoe covers for workers and disposable slippers or flipflops for my guests. I have small children who were 1lb preemies that will get sick easily, so I'm not willing to take a chance on their health. I always get a side eye and/or snarky comments, but it's my house so my rules.

      For workers no contractor in their rt mind would take off their shoes especially dealing with sheetrock or other materials it's a hazard so if something falls on their feet they can sue you 💯 nor someone working in pest control💯

    Wasn't this discussed when Tamara was on The Real?
    I think you have to respect the Host and Hostess,requirements.
    In Japan, They have slippers at the door,and is disrespectful, not to take your shoes off.
    I take my shoes off and put indoor slippers or skid proff socks on.
    In many customs it considered,to bring, dirt I the home, from your shoes is bring bad spirits in their home.

    I definitely ask people to remove their shoes because outside is nasty! I keep my home clean and would never have someone walking around without shoes on a filthy home floor. I understand if people don’t like it but they need to respect my home rules pls

    I’m very clean and so is my whole family we don’t have a no show rule but we do it out of respect to maintain a clean home. When floor is dirty we keep them on and clean the house in order to be able to take ‘em off, but i think carpet is the DUMBEST thing to have in a house. It’s just a dirty nasty type of floor. It garners so much dirty and dust etc…… It will all get stuck in carpet, we have it before and we would clean it 24/7 YET when our house flooded from a bursted pipe WE REALIZED that it was truly nasty and disgusting and dirty! No matter how “clean” you think it may be its really not! I remember we had gray/brownish nasty water coming out the carpet when we’d step on it! It’s the most disgusting unsanitary piece of flooring any home could have! Plain disgusting! The end! Anything but carpet is a great way to have a house truly clean if you’re a germafobe. But to the point, if you have this no shoe rule:
    *•Please inform your guest of shoe removal through phone call/text.*
    *•Provide clean pair of socks for them if don’t have socks then you must provide plastic/medical grade shoe covers!*
    Since you’re so anal about it please have the respect for the guest and people of the house and provide these things since it’s a “rule” of yours. If you have class and respect then you will accommodate your guests to these rules you have. Don’t see anything wrong with it but I feel you have to have something ready for your self or guest to wear in case they don’t want to be barefoot around your domicile. Pretty simple if you ask me, not a big deal if you’re prepared in advance. XOXO.

    Absolutely not! You do not wear your shoes that you wore outside on the streets into someone’s home. A mat is not going to fix that nor clean your shoes 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️😒😒😒

    In Ireland, only rich people make their guests take of their shoes. It’s just seen as rude to ask your guests to do that since they are ment to be treated a bit more special.

      In France you don’t need to ask people most of them take off their shoes by themself. If they don’t we don’t ask them too it a bit rude. But keeping your dirty shoes inside a home it’s seen as almost disrespectful.

    We would ask people to take off their shoes when my daughter was a baby & we had carpet. She would crawl all over & we couldn’t just wash the carpet every time but now we have tile so we don’t mind if people have them on plus my daughter walks now lol

    I think it’s extremely rude & disrespectful how some people expect you to take your shoes off when you go to their house but when they come to yours they don’t even think about taking theirs off. That’s the real problem.
