I don’t get people who make others remove their shoes when entering their home. It's so inconsiderate. What if someone has embarrassing foot problems, i.e. odor, warts, fungus, or just really need a pedicure? Geez, people!
I mean, what is this particular carpet made of anyway? Cashmere?
First of all, your carpet is not as important as another person’s dignity. And I hate to break it to you, but no one notices your carpet…no one cares but you. And why do you care anyway? It’s carpet!! Its made to be on the floor, where people walk around. With shoes on. Deal with it. Or buy a cheap rug. Or don’t have guests over.
If you INSIST on embarrassing everyone that comes through your door by demanding they remove their shoes, or if you are a member of a culture or religion that is not really into people wearing shoes, at least give your guests a fair warning. You know, so they can wear nice socks, get a pedicure, or turn down an invite to a place where people are more interested in their carpet than their manners.
