Do you guys take your shoes off when you enter your house?

Well I do, simply because I am married to an Asian woman.

I never used to take off my shoes when entering my home back when I was single, unless they were really muddy or soiled.

That’s how I was raised.

But my wife introduced me to the custom, and I have adhered to it for years now.

I take my shoes off when I’m home. That’s more for comfort than anything else. I don’t require guests to take their shoes off. I can always clean the floors later.

No, because I only have carpet in my bedrooms…

No shoes in this house.

I wear shoes sometimes, and sometimes I don’t. When I’m sitting down on the couch, my shoes are always off.

Shoes are just the start.

Do you make visitors do it? Years ago we went to my daughter’s girl scout leader’s home for a GS project and she always made visitors take their shoes off. Big turn-off for me. But it was her home. I just never went back. Not that there’s anything wrong with the process. I just don’t like anyone telling me where I can and can’t wear shoes. I told her the massage ladies in New Chinatown on Bellaire don’t even make me do that.

So you leave your shoes on for the massage? Are you wearing high heels?

Yes.

My wife insists upon it.

We make my relatives take their shoes off when they come for Thanksgiving and other holidays. We keep a collection of slippers of various sizes for guests to put on when they visit.

That makes it different. If you have the two tone slippers that look like bowling shoes then that’s badasss. I like to keep it G when I’m in my slippers.

If you ever have an ACC GOR reveal party I’d like an invitation. I’ll bring a bath robe and walk around like Huge Hefner sipping Glen Moray (neat).

If a man doesn’t take off his boots you got to assume he is wired up.

Shoes are just man’s way of saying “I like walking barefoot on a particular surface so I’ll just strap the floor to my feet.”

I don’t like being barefoot even in the house. I’ve traveled to Shanghai, Tokyo and Seoul. I respect their customs and “do as the Romans do”. I do appreciate when there are slippers available though.

So you take off your shoes in someone else’s home and you forget the following:

  1. Torn Socks
  2. Two different Socks
  3. You’re a guy wearing woman’s stockings.
  4. Same and you have red toenails.

The problems are unlimited.

Do you spray the insides of the slippers between uses like they do with the shoes at the bowling alley?
