Poll: shoes or no shoes?
I don't remember if we've discussed this before, but what's the "shoe policy" in your house? Do you and your H take your shoes off, or do you wear them around the house?
What about guests? Do you ask them to remove their shoes?
Re: Poll: shoes or no shoes?
People can wear shoes in my house. I'm fine with it and we vacuum frequently anyway because of our dog. We have a mat at each door to wipe if there is inclement weather of any sort.
I don't like taking off my shoes at other people's houses, especially if they're hosting a dinner party or event for which I have dressed up.
Stand up for something you believe in.
Same here. Taking my heels off when I'm all dressed up for a party just ruins my outfit;) LOL.
We go barefoot in our house. We don't really ask guests to remove shoes, but most of them do anyway. If they don't take them off, I really don't say anything, but I'm a little pickier now since all of our carpets are brand new.

no shoes.
we have hardwood floors throughout with a couple area rugs, so when we have guests, which isn't often, we don't ask anyone to take their shoes off.
if we had carpeting, i think i would encourage it.

We take our shoes off at the door and are almost always shoe-less when we're home.
When we have visitors I genuinely don't care. If they want to take them off, that's fine, if they don't that's fine. I feel like I'd be making people uncomfortable if I told them to take off their shoes.
we take our shoes off at the door and i have a rug for wiping feet and a rug for leaving shoes.
i dont ask people to take their shoes off, but most people do. especially now that we have new carpet in the downstairs i prefer it, but i dont force it. also if we're having people over and we're eating on the deck i dont expect them to take their shoes on and off going inside to out.
I don't usually have shoes on in my house, I'm a barefoot kinda girl. I definitely do not require anyone to take off their shoes. I hate being forced to take my shoes off at other people's houses. I think it's weird when people do. That's what vacuums are for. (sorry gals).
Now if it's all wet and slushy outside, especially in the winter, I'll automatically take off my shoes, I don't want to drag a mess in the house, that's just common courtesy.

We don't really have a preference. We usually take our shoes off as soon as we get in the door, but there have been times when my mind was out for awhile and I wore my shoes around the house for about 3 hours after I got home.
We don't ask guests to take their shoes off, but around here it's pretty much common courtesy to take your shoes off when entering someone else's home unless they tell you otherwise. So, most of our guests take off their shoes when they come into our house, but we don't make people take them off. Especially when we have picnics and people are in and out of the house. We have a Dyson for that.
We have all hardwood floors ( except the bathrooms & kitchen) and only ask people to take off their shoes in the winter so that the snow & salt will not ruin the floors. Other than that, they can keep their shoes on.
We tend to take ours off, though, as we like to put our feet up while lounging on the couch.
