goodbye

if my shoes are Filthy,i will take them off as soon as i enter the house;even Your house.

if however i have walked to my car in my "dress" shoes,and drove to your house,and did not have to walk in mud,fresh tar,dog poop to enter your place,then i think that you may be incorrect to say my shoes are "filthy".

;) ask nice and i will take them off,tho,oh and i wear clean socks too!

Shoes you wear outside.

As opposed to say, no shoes or shoes you would just wear in a gym for working out, things like that ... Shoes you wouldn't usually wear outdoors.

Nope... it's how I was brought up. I always take off my shoes when I enter other people's houses.

Lol, now there's someone that respects another person's property. We moved into an apartment, and like all apartments Ive lived in recently it has very light carpet. I take my shoes off, and other people who come to my apartment do too. One didn't and I asked them to. If you don't have enough respect for someone to do something small like that, then they would probably be glad to see you gone :)

my carpet is white and i intend to keep it white.

take off your shoes please.

it is a PAIN to clean carpet - moving future, waiting for it to dry, moving furniture back in. that's at my parent's house. in my apt, i don't want any more deductions from my security deposit, so i'll keep it as clean as possible.

What is the difference between inside and outside shoes? With the price of most shoes out there, I wouldn't want to have to buy more than 1 or 2 pairs...

I'm sorry, but only idiots lay white carpet. My sister did the same thing.

I can't think of anyone I know who has a "no-shoes" in the house policy.

I'm a rebel. I wear my outside shoes inside and my inside shoes outside. I also wear them inside out or is that outside in.

What's the use of carpeting if you wear your shoes inside? Might as well go hardwood, it easier to clean.

I like the way carpeting feels on my bare feet.........

I often go barefoot simply 'cause I like it, but I sometimes will wear my shoes all day around the house.

gah, carpets suck and hard floors are easily swept.
the take your shoes off people are cut from the same cloth as the plastic encased furniture people.
