Hello my American friends, I have a quick cultural question!
I’m from South Asia. In our culture, we do not wear shoes or sandals inside the house — we always take them off at the door.
Sometimes I have American friends come over, and they’ll walk in with their shoes on. I often hesitate to ask them to take their shoes off because I worry they might find it rude or uncomfortable.
So I just wanted to ask: how do you feel if someone asks you to take your shoes off before entering their home? Is it something you’re okay with, or would it feel strange or offensive?
Just trying to understand better — thank you!
