Do you take your shoes off when inside your home?

If a service repair guy has to come in, do you ask him to take off his shoes/boots?

Tell us your experiences.

Winter is coming and many houses have carpets. How do you handle this?
 
I take off my shoes, and put on my slippers.

If service repair folks come by, they should be bringing a "runner" with them to lay over the carpet, or take off their boots at the door. I shouldn't have to say a word about it.

I don't want either the dirt and salt and so on to destroy my carpets or prematurely age them, nor do I want the acids from my foot sweat to do so.
 
When I know I'm visiting homes of people of east Asian origin, I will wear slip- on shoes that don't need laces because 100% of the time I'll need to take them off at the door, if not outside the door. That's the way in their lands as well - homes oten have elaborate shoe cabinets and plenty of padded slippers at the entrance.
 
if a repairman takes of his/her shoes wsib will not compensate them,this endangers the person.most of them will bring slips to go over their work boot.if that don,t work for the home owner by law he can refuse to enter.

i take my boots of all the time when visiting friends.
 
Yes, I make everyone take off thier shoes. Service men as well, unless they have slip on covers, otherwise, no can enter house.
 
Yes to both.

If you think where your shoes have been, would you really want to step bare foot in those spots? Germs just love to travel.

I make everyone take off their shoes except LEOs - they carry guns :D.

Delivery guys have refused and I have asked them to leave; needless to say when I arrange for delivery I tell the salesmen this "please instruct your delivery people to either wear booties or they will not be allowed to enter".

As for someone wearing FMB - as long as that is all they are wearing they can keep them on
 
Ofcourse we take our shoes off at home .. anyone who cares about his home would.

Service guys have come inside and sometimes have their own cloth like covers to put on the shoes so they dont dirty your home interior.

However, I had times when service guys would come in and not remove their shoes even though you asked them too. As they claim that its for their "own health safety" bullshit.

When I called to complain to their superior, was told that by law, they need to make sure they dont get any diseases or infections as my carpet or interior maybe "dirty" BULLSHIT.

Usually, if the guys are nice, they remove their shoes without you asking them.
Common ethics and manners.
 
Electricians and plumbers have told me that they need to leave their safety boots on for insurance purposes. I say no problem, as long as they have something to protect the floor. If not, they're gone.

I do not have any carpets in my house and I never ask anyone to take off there shoes. I always have to have shoes or something on my feet.

I am respectful of others and always remove my shoes when entering someones home.
