Re: Bare Feet?
If someone had a floor I didn't want to walk barefoot on (like that extreme), I wouldn't want socks or slippers on it either..... if they wanted me to take shoes off I think I'd ask if I could put plastic or tape (like we do on photo/film/tv sets to protect shoes or the set) to "protect their floors from my shoes".

Re: Bare Feet?
Every party I've been too I have kept my shoes on. A few times I asked if I should take them off, or made motions like I was going to, and each time I was told that I did not need to remove them.
My thinking for us in PA is the following: a lot of people remove their shoes at the door to their own home. But allow visitors to keep them on if they like, for comfort. Almost as though we don't mind cleaning up a visitor's messy tracks, but don't want to clean up our own
Fellow PA'ers... what do you think?

Re: Bare Feet?
It is rare that I paint in peoples private homes, and what people are used to are very different from place to place. Some wear shoes inside, some not. In Muslim homes it is normal to take them off - but have special shoes inside the bathroom.
If the adults have bare feet, I will normally too, since I prefer to work without shoes. In the summer, most of the times, I wear no shoes outside either. If inside in the summer at shops and so, I wear shoes when I arrive, but often slip them of, when working.
When being a tourist around the world, I have been told by shop owners and museums to have shoes on. I can't quite see the logic, since shoes are as "dirty" as bare feet is. But guess it is a image question.

Re: Bare Feet?
they are probably worried about liability if there happened to be anything on the floor that might hurt you (broken glass, pins, etc.)
Re: Bare Feet?
In certain locations (in or near Toronto), it is a building requirement that everyone working (moving things or otherwise) be wearing steel toed/steel soled boots - I keep a pair in my trunk incase I run into one of those cases. I've needed them twice now for painting gigs.
