Where do you stand in the 'shoes off indoors' debate? And what's your take on having to provide alternative footwear for guests in your home?
As many of us prepare to welcome family and friends into our homes over the Christmas period, one question online has sparked a viral discussion about whether a host should be expected to provide indoor-appropriate footwear for their guests.
The poster asked: "Am I being unreasonable to expect no outdoor shoe households to provide slippers?" They went on to clarify: "Just that - slides, or foot covers of some kind. Of course, if you know in advance it's different, but when you turn up for the first time at someone's house to be told 'please take off outdoor shoes' at the door , surely something should be provided rather than expect visitors to pad about in bare feet, or socks.
But there were plenty of people who agreed with the original poster and felt that it was more than acceptable to supply slippers to guests. One commenter said they "provide a choice of plastic or material covers," before adding: "Some people still refuse so they get asked to leave." Another agreed, saying that they provided disposable plastic shoe covers - which "solves all the problems".
