The traditions of the Asian culture where they take off their shoes before entering the house, is the one that I wish we did here in the Americas. I tried to set that ruling once in my home years ago. It worked for a while with my family and friend, then it felled by the wasteside. Some wanted too and some did not. It was the family that gave me the biggest problems with taking off their shoes. They worn me down. Old habits are hard to break.
