Shoes & Carpet Issue
Dh just called me to ask me if I wanted him to bring me extra socks...we're going to visit a friend for dinner. He just bought a house & has creme carpeting in his LR. I guess everyone takes off their shoes before entering. Now I'm wearing Gauchos & Boots...I'm going to look silly walking around w/ this clothes & white socks. I said, NO don't bring me anything. If there is an issue I will just sit in the kitchen. Am I being foolish? Should I ask if I should take off my shoes...or just walk right in? I'm annoyed...that's so tacky!

Honestly... tacky or not... you should respect the wishes of another person's household.
But yeah... shoes off inside... tacky.

Re: Shoes & Carpet Issue
ughhhhhh.....but you have on the golden gauchos!!!!
I am submissive, I would take them off, but hate doing it. What would drive me crazy is that my boots need a good shine job, once I take them off they look dead and dingy. For some reason when they are on though, they look new.

Re: Shoes & Carpet Issue
Why not bring a pair of chinese slippers with you?
I hate having to take off my shoes at other people's houses, I honestly don't think anyone's rugs are more important than my own comfort, but I wouldn't start a problem over it so I'd bring something just in case.

I agree, but I don't know if that's a "golden" rule in their house. I will then have to bring a whole change of clothes. Should I just bring it as back up? Arrgghhh...how annoying!!!!

you guys are right. I guess, I will just ask if they prefer I take off my shoes. If they say yes, then I will have extra clothes in the car.

Re: Shoes & Carpet Issue
I would take my shoes off if I HAD TO. I absolutely HATE walking around without shoes or in socks. If I knew that was the house rule, I would have to bring my slippers with me.

Re: Shoes & Carpet Issue
I would only take my shoes off if they asked me to, I wouldn't voluntarily offer to take them off. At least you have some warning. I can't stand the feel of carpeting and was once asked to take my shoes off and I was soooooo uncomfortable. It's beyond me why someone would get carpeting and not let people walk on it.

Re: Shoes & Carpet Issue
I have the no shoes in the house rule- cream carpet as well! However I never ask people to take off there shoes and if they ask I say " you dont have too."
However we keep our shoes on a matt in the front hall when you walk in....so I hope people see we dont wear our shoes indoors and "take the hint"
I always offer to take off my shoes when I go to someone elses house...but thats just me...

Re: Shoes & Carpet Issue
If I were asked to take off my shoes, I might do it to be sensitive, but I find it rude to ask a guest in my house to do so. If it's that difficult to keep a carpet clean, then I wouldn't get a white or cream colored one. And I have to say, even if I see shoes by the door and know that the residents of the house take off their shoes, I wouldn't volunteer to take mine off. I don't automatically feel that sort of comfort level in someone's house unless I know them really well.

I know...that's exactly how I feel.
