What are your house rules on wearing shoes?
Take them off at the front door? Or do you allow people to wear them down stairs?
Do you care?
I always take mine off when i enter someones house, I hate hearing 'you should have left them on'. No, you psychopath! |

In my house, downstairs is all hard floor and upstairs is really cheap carpet that needs replacing and we have a dog who puts his stinky toes all over the carpet so I don't care too much about shoes being left on as long as they aren't filthy. |

"Shoes off at the door. It’s the only way it should be  "
Depends if you entertain a lot. I do. I have friends here a lot. When people go out their shoes are part of their outfit. If you have people over to socialise I personally don’t think it’s right to tell them to take their shoes off. If I went to a house party all dressed up I wouldn’t be happy to be told to take my shoes off. |

London/Essex... ish... Romford to be exact |
Only person besides myself to have set foot inside is the gas man who never takes his shoes off and always wears great big boots. I guess I need more visitors when this kerfuffle dies down. |

I always take mine off straight away, both at home and at other people's. I prefer people to take them off but as long as they stick to the hard floor I'm not overly fussed (not on the carpets though!).
Exceptions for if it's a gathering and people have dressed up, shoes can make the outfit! |

I grew up with various large dogs and access to the countryside. I thought it was mental when I discovered that people took their footwear off indoors.
Same with coffee tables. Completely pointless – anything on them will be swept off by a tail within seconds. |

New rules to be enforced with immediate effect. No shoes or clothes to be worn when entering. Applies to females only.
Now it is simply a matter of getting someone to come inside. *waits patiently* |

My old place was laminated so I use to let people wear wherever except the bedrooms.
But recently moved into a new build with nice plush carpets.
If I could get people to take em off outside the house I would, no way am I ruining brand new carpets... |

Family take their shoes off but guests can leave them on if they like. Definitely no shoes upstairs though.
I take mine off when I go in someone elses house |

No shoes upstairs, but if people are just popping for 5 mins I don't make them take their shoes off.
Will be a different story once I finally get round to redecorating my living room and get new carpet. Then people will be lucky to walk in my living room at all, shoes or not! |

Prefer to have them off. Never had to ask anyone for this. But if anyone asked I would ask them to take them off.
I can make exceptions for women wearing high heels though.

I always used to fimd it strange as a kid going round 'posh' friends houses and having to take shoes off at the door. We pretty much wore ours to bed at home
Im quite polite now though and always make moves to take them off unless I am told otherwise or can sense a cream carpet.
I wouldnt take your shoes off in my downstairs though, I have no carpet to worry about. |

a quandary, could you change my mind? |
Normal life its shoes off as soon as I get in. Family and Close friends would always take their shoes off too.
If its lots of people coming over then its shoes on.
If I'm going to someone, then its shoes off. |

"Downstairs is fine as no carpet anywhere at all. No shoes allowed upstairs in this house.
What about boots?
Bedroom shoes don’t count "
Is that more than one pair then? |
