i dont wear shoes around the house or when i go to my friend's house. I think it's common courtesy to take your shoes off. A lot of Americans seem to wear their shoes around the house though.

No I do not wear shoes in my house. That is one place in the world that I can guarantee is clean. And when people come to my yard remove your shoes or else do not enter.

No, no, no noblkfingerwag...that ain't the way we do ithere, LOL!

Guests keep their shoes on....even some family members..if you are a close family member you are allowed but in general it's a no-no to take your shoes off in someone else's home...it's considered impolite.

Same here, i wear my shoes in my home, same with visitors... Ihave a wooden floor which is very easy to clean if it does get dirty...

This country is too bloody cold to ask people to take off their shoes before they come in to your home.

But if you are going toask your guests to take of their shoes, the least you could do iswarn themin advanceso they can double up their socks..

Why is it rude to take off your shoes?

i just put down carpet in my new flat. so who ever comes into my place better do what the romans do?

if u see me take off my shoes and still insist ur keeping dem on, u know where the door is. blkbuttkick

No, and I'd prefer it if guests kept theirs on too.

Most people's feet stink.
