Do you allow shoes to be worn in your bedroom?

Answer 1

ony high heels and knee high boots.

Answer 2

Face it, shoes are dirty. They walk on and pick up all kinds of thinigs (spit, vomit, dog doo) out side. Shoes should not be worn in the house.

I picked up a Japanese custom while living in Hawaii of removing shoes before entering the house. For mainlanders slippers can be provided at the entry so that they don't freak.

In the bed high-heels are quite acceptable!

Answer 3

I don't think it's any worse than wearing them anywhere else in the house. You would just drag the dirt into yourbedroom if you were barefoot on the living room somebody else had their shoes on then walking into the bedroom. Everyone has their preferences. I would never be offended if asked to take my shoes off.

Answer 4

Few if any people ever are invited into my bedroom, but I don't have any other rules or feelings about that than I would have anywhere else.... I'm a full-time barefooter but I would not ever tell people to take off their shoes. I don't want people to tell me what I should or shouldn't wear; why should I tell others? Only if their footwear was very dirty I'd ask them to take it off before coming in, but if they'd rather wash it off at the outdoor hose that'd be fine too. It'd be the mud I objected to, not the footwear.

Answer 5

Only 2 people walk into our bedroom: my husband or I. We generally do it without shoes, as we take them off at the door. I don't think anyone else has a right to walk into our bedroom.

And since we have the "shoes off at the door" policy, everyone that comes into our house automatically removes their shoes b/c they see we've done it. (Our shoes rack is by the door).

I think it's just polite to remove your shoes, as it reduces dirt, etc. in the house. (Plus we have a crawling baby...)

Answer 6

I recently read that removing shoes at the door reduces allergens in your home along with many environmental pollutants such as pesticides, petroleum products, not to mention animal feces. However, I don't have a hard and fast rule about removing my shoes at the door. Most often I do take them off at the door, but sometimes not. I never ask guests to remove their shoes, but sometimes they do anyway.

I would say that if you have many allergies, it is probably a good practice.

Answer 7

The shoes in the house rule is very regional. When I lived in Canada, most people automatically took off their shoes when entering a house. I now live in the Bahamas...and no one would think about taking their shoes off before entering a person's house....and no one ever asks.

Answer 8

NO, never. I don't even like shoes worn in my house but sometimes it can offend guests so I try to be considerate of that but never in the bedrooms.

Answer 9

Sure I would allow shoes in my bedroom as long they are clean.

Answer 10

There's only a couple of people who ever go into my bedroom, but I don't have any rules about "no shoes."

Answer 11

No way! That piece of floor is so near to my bed.

Imagine someone stepping on dog's poo on his way to your house and he walk right into your bedroom with his shoes on. And you step on the exact same spot he landed. When this person leave, you lazed around in bed rubbing your toes against your blanket & pillows...You decide to take a nap. You grab your pillows & blanket and start to doze off. Then your nose hit a strange smell but you brush it off thinking it's your saliva from previous night buffet dream....
