Do you have a shoes off rule in your house?

I love to go barefoot. I never wore socks alone. I hate getting them dirty. I just wish I wouldn't feel so self conscious. I can go barefoot in sweats openly again. Next step is jeans and slacks.

 

Yea, easier for me to go around in underwear than go barefoot.

 

Should go to the hospital next time and rummage through storeroom for those little shoe bootsies lol, and take them home and if they're not going shoes off, they have to wear the booties. Lol.

 

When the wax builds up on wood it can start to look shabby. Every so often, you need to clean the surface wax off with spirit and start again.

 

I am often barefoot around the house and garden, I just don't see all the fetish connection. Needless to say, I would not walk around London barefoot. Just the thought of it makes me laugh
Is it knowing that people may see the fetish links that makes you worried about taking your shoes off.

 

No, I don't think any internet links have anything to do about it. And I used to be this way and I was very young, like five years old. So that was long before I knew anything about that particular word. I don't know what it is but it just is almost an arousing feeling at times when I do it around others

 

I have a shoes off rule in my life.

 

Once I made a timid attempt to propose this rule and was promptly told to F-O by my friends. Lately a girl asked if she might remove her shoes during a dinner near the fireplace and of course the answer was a Go For It but It was a bad move because of the chemical-bio aggression that ensued. Not as ferocious as an outcome if they had been MY shoes (and that's why I keep going bare even with a little snow...) but still pretty lethal lol

 

An excellent reason not to have a shoes off rule. You just don't know how long they had their shoes on. I don't think I'd want those stinky socks rubbed all over the floor! YUCK! People can denounce bare feet, but hey they don't stink.

 

Insisting that others remove their footwear upon entering my home isn't something that I instil, just because I prefer to live a barefoot lifestyle. Although most do ask the question, I simply state that it's their choice if they wish to remove footwear.

 

I always take my shoes and socks iff at my house but I dont always ask my friends too,(But they can) However Recently i had a friend over who was 2 years younger than me, He always wears socks (Even in bed) So i asked him to take them off, and he refused so I kept Jokingly asking and a few hours later i took one of one of his socks and He moaned for a few minutes and I took of the other one and he hated it for 1/2 an hour Eventually i gave them back and he said he didnt want them on. He kept them off until he went home

 

I'm barefoot as much as I can be and lose my shoes as soon as I come home from either work - where it is a rule, or the local shops in winter - as I live on my own, it's not so much a rule as a habitual choice.
In regards to others, if they feel the need they are welcome to do so - if they don't feel comfortable, then I don't force the issue

 

Peoples horrible sweaty feet all over my carpets, no thanks. I'd rather my guests keep their shoes on.
I can hoover and clean up anything that might come off a persons shoes. Not quite so easy when it comes to bacteria and the like.

 

You do realize that the bottoms of your shoes can and will carry bacteria just as easy as your naked soles? In fact, wearing those boots, you're less likely to notice that bird shit that you stepped on, because you don't actually feel that something's wrong.

 

It doesn't matter what way round you stack your argument, I won't be letting people rub their sweaty feet into my carpets. You might be happy for them to do so on yours which is fair enough.
And I might be wrong but the last I heard - bird droppings were still very much visable

 

generally, yes. it's the bottoms of your feet that are usually not so easy to see.

 

I once tried that but my friends told me to fuck off.
Then there was that time that my friend brought over that other girl and she asked to remove her shoes and the result was that the whole place was engulfed in the most wretched shoe stink ever.

Now that I think about it, in the department of footwear I still have a couple of leather boots that I can't put on because my feet don't fit in any more , the leather has gone stiff like wood and the laces are missing. Then a pair of sneakers, but the right sole separated from the shoe. And finally a ultra battered pair of african flip flops with the sole made of tire rubber, held together with zip ties. But be damned if i know where those things have gone.

 

No rules in my place, come as you are. I’m always barefoot in the house but don’t want to force that on others. Whatever’s comfortable for guests is totally fine by me.
