This only happened at my house once. He came in the door and immediately removed his shoes, the rest is mostly a blur. It was George Clooney.

${#emotions_dlg.thumbup}$ funny!

As for me, shoes or no shoes, doesn't bother me either way. However, I will question any guest where their pants have been. Used a public restroom earlier in the day? Oh yuck, they might have brushed that nasty commode. Off with your pants! House rules, you know.

Ha! I can relate to that. I have a serious anti-foot fetish. I don't want to have to see anybody's feet EVER. I just don't like feet and prefer they stay hidden. For some unknown reason polished toenails also skeeve me out. Keep 'em covered, please!

The point is that while some feel removing their shoes upon entering another's home is so considerate in actuality it can and often is just the opposite. Floors were meant to be walked upon and feet are meant to be covered out in public unless on the beach.

In any group there will be those who find feet, especially the unattractive ones, disgusting and some will find feet, no matter how unattractive, a sxual turn on. So, for everyone's comfort, keep your shoes on.

I do not like when people take off their shoes coming into my house and I usually tell them they do not need to.

No, it isn't rude. In fact, it is a custom in Japan and it would be considered rude to wear your outdoor shoes inside a house. If you have smelly feet, that is a hygiene problem. I never wear my shoes from going to work or shopping or whatever in my house. Do you really want to track in all the stuff your shoes comes in contact with in your house? If your floors are clean, keep them that way. Because I work as an RN in a hospital, I would never consider wearing my work shoes in the house and track in all that MRSA, ESBL or whatever viruses/bacteria my shoes pick up from work.

I want them to keep their shoes on so the dust on the floor doesn't show on the bottom of their socks.

FYI, we don't live in Japan.
