Is it true that Canadian people are anal about visitors removing their shoes when visiting one another's homes? Is it truly a common or mandatory thing?
I'm assuming people whom come to visit have clean shoes and are not dragging mud through the place of course...
It's not a biggie in NZ though some people do practise it though. I prefer my visitors make their own decision whether or not to remove their shoes and I am not offended either way. I would like my visitors to be comfortable.
My daughters BF's mother told me Canadian folk are "anal" << (her words) that visitors always remove their shoes as it's the polite thing to do along with removing your coat before dinner.
I would love your opinions and thoughts on the matter please....
If I was to come to your home for dinner and my shoes were clean and i was comfortable wearing them, would you allow me to do so?
Be gentle, I'm fragile *smiles*
