Is it wrong to make guest at my home removr there shoes and socks?
Question:i know asking to remove there shoes is ok but what about there socks too
Answers:
its your house. and they should respect your rules. just give them an explanation why
I don't think it would be too much to ask if you do it in a kind manner. If they look at you weird, give a short explanation of why you need them to do that.
why would you want there socks off?
Shoes is understandable! but if someone asked me to take off my socks i wouldn't really understand why, sometimes my feet get cold! but that's just me! I'm not really sure if it is appropriate or not! but for me, i wouldnt want to take off my socks!
to ask them to remove their socks maybe a little bit awckward and you may make him\or her feel uncofortable.
good luck.
no. haven't you heard when you're in rome do as the romans do.
WHY DO YOU WANT THEM TO REMOVE THIER SOCKS. THAT IS A LITTLE TO FAR.
WHAT YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF TOE FETISH?
shoes are ok but if i were asked the take off my socks it would make me feel uncomfortable but yet they are a guest staying in your house so technically they should do what you say
Dude have you seen some folks feet? stay with the shoes.
I think that's pretty weird and actually more disgusting then having them walk around with their socks. I mean you want some strangers feet on your carpet? What's wrong with their socks? Maybe you could buy those house shoe/slippers and have them put those on to walk around your house and let them keep their socks on.
Really, you can't "make" them remove anything, and I think removing the socks is a bit extreme. If you would like to keep your carpets clean, you should provide slippers for your guests. Many people feel uncomfortable walking around barefoot.
Shoes are okay, socks can be a bit too much for some. Depending on the person they can be incredibly uncomfortable with bare feet.
I think that asking them to remove their shoes is fine but the socks kind of confuses me. I think some (maybe most) people will be offended by that. Some people have issues with their feet and would prefer to keep them covered up. They may feel uncomfortable with their socks off and will have a hard time being comfortable in your home because they'll be spending so much time thinking about their naked feet. I'd suggest letting them keep their socks on. =)
I would appreciate it if people were to remove their shoes before entering our house. But socks? Eeeew, no! People may have a foot disease or fungus of some kind. I would not want bare feet to come in at all.
Shoes is no problem. The socks are at another level. I think it would be cleaner to let them leave their socks on. I would not revisit a place that asked me to remove my socks, "unless" it was an attractive lady and we were always alone.
It all depends on whether you think your floors are more important to you than your guests are. I never ask guests to remove shoes. The people I invite to my house are expected to use common sense in such things. If they are wearing perfectly harmless clean footgear, I have no objection to them wearing their shoes. If they just tramped in through mud, I would think they were tacky if they did NOT remove them at the door.
Well, it is quite common sense thing to remove our shoes when visiting someone. However, if they are people with sound mind and still insisted on keeping their shoes and socks, they must have a reason. Imagine! You will regret if you insist on asking them to do so. You will REGRET when the smell comes with the shoes, and the athlete foot bacteria comes with the socks. Be care my dear.
Shoes, ok, but socks is going a bit far, don't you think? Do you provide any kind of alternate footwear? Ever thought about the possibility of athlete's foot festering in your pristine white carpeting.
it is wrong!! anytime you ask a guest into your house you accept them as they are If you shave everyday would you insist they shave? if the guest offers to oblige your custom you graciously thank them for considering your custom otherwise say nothing and treat them with the respect you are expecting of others.
That could be dangerous, what if they have a fungus or athletes foot, or smelly feet, shoes are one thing socks are a whole other animal. You could embarrass a lot of your friends.
First of all who removes socks when going into someones home. That will give you more bacteria on your floors not only that, if you have hardwood floors you are looking at foot sweat prints and more work for yourself.
Are you for real???
Unless people were playing in the sand that is the only way I would get people to take their shoes and socks off.
Just shoes will do. What do you do if someone is wearing panty hose and underwear all in one under pants. Do you get them to strip right there, outside.
Get a life please. Yes it is wrong to get your guest to remove both socks and shoes. Give them the dignity to leave their socks on.
Yes, I feel it is wrong.
Here's why:
>Opening yourself & others to diseases unnecessarily.
>Plantar warts
>Athelete's foot
>Hepatitis
>Psoriasis
>Cracked Heel
>Blisters
>Some people don't expose their feet to anyone.
>Some wear foot powder
>Women wear Pantyhose
Homes are for living. Sofas and chairs are for sitting.
Floors are to walk on.
Kick your foot fetish.
I have heard of asking guests to remove their shoes, but their socks..that is a first. While it is your house and your call, here is something to keep in mind:
A lot of people are very self conscious about their feet. My mother has bunions. I have a friend with ugly nails. A girl I once dated had six toes on one foot. I am missing a toe (accident when I was younger). Some people have warts on their feet. I know somwbody with webbed feet. And some people's feet can get cold very easily. I am ticklish and am paranoid about someone tickling my feet.
What I'm saying is that while it is your house and your decision, you may end up driving away good guests. Here is a suggestion:
If you must insist on guests removing their socks, keep a basket of clean (preferably new), attractive footies, or even some flip flops by the door and offer them to guests. People often don't like to show their bare feet.
I think that the shoes are okay but the socks being removed are a bit extreme. First of all they could have a fungus. Do you think that your floors are clean enough to ask someone to walk around barefooted. Also that can really mess up someone's feet walking around barefooted. It can make feet calloused and dry. I think that the removing of the shoes should be enough. Unless their socks are just FILTHY. Then you should just offer them a new clean pair. or keep house shoes that you wouldn't mind being worn in the house.
I assume you want them to take off their shoes to keep your floors clean and you are not subjected to their dirt and germs coming into your house. To ask them to take off their socks would subject them to your dirt and germs no matter how small that mat be. I personally prefer to have socks on in my own house to protect my feet and i know how clean my house is but your guest may not. Usually if someone is ask to remove their shoes it is in the area that is already "contaminated" from shoes and i would not want my bare feet exposed to that
It's so so so wrong. I can't imagine the smell if your guest is not a clean one...
You must be nuts ! please don't do that it's not nice. Let your guests decide what the want to take off. If they forget they stepped in dog crap then say something. You might be surprised how many guest will removed at least their foot wear on their own inspiration of thoughtfulness.
Honestly some people will take this as an offense. I have personally grown up in a home where we always take our shoes off at the door and wear socks or slippers in the house.
If there socks are dirty then you can certainly hint that they may want to take them off if you are familiar with the person. Otherwise, it would be rude of you to ask for them to do so. A lot of people don't like others to see their feet.
In another sense it is actually better if they leave their socks on. Some people have athlete's foot or other such common foot problems that you would not want in your home. So socks are actually beneficial.
In the end, shoes are okay--if you're familiar with the person or if you're having a small gathering at your home. If it is a large crowd don't expect them to all take their shoes off. At most large parties of ten or over it would be surprising to see every foot with solely socks on. You don't want to become that weird jerk shoe/sock guy. Asking them to remove their socks would just be nasty for them and you. Plus, it's beneficial for them just to keep them on.
Shoes would be fine but Id rather not take off my socks.
I think the socks is asking a bit much. Your guest might have a foot ailment such as athletes foot or yellowed toe-nails. They would find it embarassing to remove their socks. Also, a person walking around your house barefoot who has athlete's foot could easily pass this ailment on to you and anyone else walking through the house barefoot. But I'm curious, why do you want people to remove their socks?
