Shoes On? Shoes Off?

Do you have a “Shoes Off” policy at your house?

Thoughtful Moms are concerned about germs and other things being dragged in from the street: No thank you!  Others simply don’t want to see their carefully maintained floors scuffed or dented by the errant stiletto or rough boot.

It can be slightly tricky to ask a guest to first take off their shoes before entering your house.  We want to be wholly hospitable while still keeping our carpets clean.  

What about your family?  Are you a “shoes on” or “shoes off” type of house?
