I Like People Who Take Off Their Shoes Before Entering A Home

@QuietSophie I only expect bare feet for myself and the kids 🙂 guests have to just take shoes off but are always welcome to be barefoot with us.

Agreed but there are some nudists that would happily spend a day in socks @mazza62

@BarefootedBoy growing up,my mother kept a laundry basket in the kitchen where we could deposit socks when we came in. Boys especially had smelly sweaty socks after being at school or playing out. So they went in the laundry basket.

We never had that, but I'm going to put one here. If I have to wear socks for anything, I want 'em off as soon as I get in the door, and a basket is a great idea.

@BarefootedBoy also the laundry basket ww useful when we came in covered in mud from playing out. Sometimes we'd b caked. So we just stripped off and went and got straight in the bath. That way the house wasn't covered in mud.
We had house clothes growing up. So when we got in we changed into them.
I still do this and all my male friends do. They always had house clothes.
Old habits and all that

@Bearserks Not when vacuumed regularly

@SandraB I disagree, you would need industrial tools to maintain true cleanliness because of how deep down stuff gets in the carpet.

@Bearserks Perhaps.

@Catzgano I don’t expect guests to be barefoot just please remove your shoes.

@33person On those types of days the kids are probably just playing outside and will be barefoot anyway.
