Then don't ask me in...

I get the no shoe rules- to each his own. Your house, your rules. My feet, my rules. I myself, take my shoes off when I get home and I wear flip flops. My feet are cold natured anyway and when they are in constant contact with wood and tile they get even colder.

I do not required others to remove shoes in my house. To me, my shoes are meant to protect feet from whatever is out there. Not the other way around.

As a contractor, I respect the rule 100% when required. However, It adds to the labor cost for the extra time it takes for my guys to take boots off and on throughout the day. I price the job accordingly. One of our stringent rules is to leave the work area cleaner than when we found it.

Located on Hwy 50 near Bridgeport Il.
Clients were workers in oil fields - drillers - pumpers - maintenance - etc

She vacuumed the carpets twice a day and was always waxing the linoleum.

And in all that time she never asked a guest to remove their shoes.

Maybe that's why she vacuumed the carpets twice a day!!!!!
