    Yes, I have many friends with that rule and we respect it. I would have that rule, but obviously it's not going to happen.
    lol I dont mean that its a personal rule, in this part of the country, its social custom to always remove shoes at the door, not doing so is considered highly improper. its not just homes either, this social rule extends to schools, churches, rec centers, open houses, some docters offices etc..

    I cannot walk about in slippers or barefoot all day, I need the orthotics that I put in my shoes or my feet will ache by the end of the day, if I walk a lot. However, when I am seated anywhere, the shoes come off.

    usually because I always have to go outside with the dogs and chase Miagi or Tiger if they get out. but usually for that I wear slippers. at work I HAVE to wear shoes - I work at my local animal shelter and it would be bad if I went bare foot.

    Shoes all the time. I hate being barefoot. I take my shoes off at other people's homes, but never at my own. I don't expect guests to take their shoes off. Not only do I hate being barefoot, but around here you never what you might step in!!

    Same problem here!! I hate it when it is hot weather,because walking on my bare feet is completely out of the question! My right leg is also 1,8 cm shorter than the other one, so I really don't have a choice.
    When I do take them off, it is because I want to lay down on the couch, and Ihate shoes on my furniture

    I wish it was custom here. My house might stay a little cleaner!!! But then again, Zoee tracks in stuff anyway.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    In the summer my shoes are off. Even outside. By the end of the day my feet are a totally different color.

    Any other time of the year my shoes are on until all the dogs are pottied. Then they come straight off.

    No shoes in my house. I figure if I can 'train' a toddler to do it, anyone can learn.

    ew, shoes. I find it funny that some people don't consider flip flops as shoes. There were several summers when I only wore the same pair of dirty flip flops, even when I went on vacation.

    When my family wears shoes in the house I get extremely annoyed. Mostly because my room is in the basement and it seems to magnify the sounds made in the rest of the house so my sister walking around upstairs in tennis shoes sounds like someone's stomping around in army boots.

    In the house I have to wear no shoes, and I can't go to bed with my sock on either, for some reason. Even when I'm cold.

    I never wear my shoes in my house. I barely ever wear socks. It's not a rule in my house but it's WAY more comfortable. When I am rushing, coming in for a minute, etc. I wear my shoes but that's it.
