Re: Removing shoes
I always remove my shoes immediately after closing the door in my home, but never ask my guests to remove theirs. Most offer to do it anyways.Yes, I do remove my shoes in other's homes, almost always. When they say, "oh, leave them on" I reply that I take them off in my own home so it's natural to do the same thing elsewhere.
Just a courtesy, I think.

When people come to visit us I give them the choice to leave them on or take them off, since I want them to be comfortable.

Re: Removing shoes
I always insist on people leaving their shoes on. I only have soft cuddly carpet in the bedroom and company doesn't go in there. The living room is natural rope carpet and easy to clean. I have a shampooer.....I prefer to take off my shoes if I know a hostess wants me to. I know most of my friends, and whether they would want me to take them off or leave them on.
If I go to a strangers house, I ask "shoes off or on?" and I go acccording to their request.
I went in to one house not long ago, she has very pale off white carpeting. She had little (for women) and larger (for men) booties made of cloth like you see in the hospital or when you are looking at a house for sale.......they fit right over your shoes. I thought that was a smart idea......

Re: Removing shoes
All of you have shoes? how posh is that.When with BT we had a house to wire up with several telephone sockets, so one of my workmate arranged for us to do it on a Saturday. we all took indoor shoes ie slippers as it was an all day job.
That afternoon in walks our level 1 manager having crossed the grass verge and stepped into a lot of dog dodo's. Needless to say the house owners carpets were covered in it. Boy did the owner give him some stick and from what I heard BT had to pay for new carpets. I won't say the exact words but something like he should not even be in charge of a monkey house let alone careful engineers who took a load of trouble to respect her house, or something like.I know he had to report to senior managers and explain
who knew everything and had no brain
Still he was one of the university guys who new everything except the job and how to go about it. In other words a right "wan*er"
