Girls, Have you ever been forced to remove your shoes & socks and go barefoot at someone else's house? If so, did this make you feel awkward?

[brownvanilla75]

I feel this is the norm in a lot of Indian Households.

[Hamsteroids]

I’ve had to take off my shoes but having my socks still on we’re fine. It was a Vietnamese friends house and he told us to leave our shoes inside by the front door

[caramelbrownie]

Would you remove your socks tho if he asked?

[Hamsteroids]

It’s his house. If that’s what he wanted, I’d do it. Especially when I have no idea what his culture is like. So I wouldn’t go against it lol

[HelpMe06]

I’ve been asked to take shoes off but never socks. If someone asked me to take my socks off I’d be horrified. I hate my feet hahaha

[brownvanilla75]

i agree with everything that you just said! lol. But this has happened a few times and is quite uncomfortable

[HelpMe06]

Oh my god it would be haha

[caramelbrownie]

so push come to shove, would you remove your socks also, if asked?

[HelpMe06]

Probably not unless they got really angry about it

[caramelbrownie]

lol so if they got angry at you... off come the socks

[HelpMe06]

Yep hahaha

[caramelbrownie]

U know as a girl in the future professionally u won't be wearing socks, rite? Gonna have to come to terms with it one day! Like what if ur future bf/husband likes feet? Then whacha gonna do?

[HelpMe06]

Why would I not be wearing socks professionally? Also I would never date a guy with a foot fetish it would creep me out haha. Thankfully my current partner also has no interest in feet

[caramelbrownie]

Usually professionally you wear heels or professional shoes that dont go well with socks

[HelpMe06]

Oh yeah I don’t mind that. I always wear heels I just don’t like bare feet

[Freija1989]

Actually I ' ve been living in India for a while. Never forced, but I ' m originally from Eastern Europe and we have thr habit of removing shoes when entering a house and since I usually don ' t wear socks unless it ' s ( close to ) literally freezing ( and it ' s never that cold in India unless you live in a mountainous state like Himachal Pradesh or something ) I ' m usually barefoot at home or at some other people ' s homes. I ' ve actually been asked to put / keep my sandals on at some people ' s places, as they probably assumed that if I ' m white I must be a city girl made of egg shells. Also Indians tend to wear socks more than I do. Like I said, in that short cool time they call winter ( which is a bit cooler for my taste too, I like heat, but it ' s far from what we call winter in Europe, both in duration and temperature ) I might occasionally wear socks, but it ' s still not that cold for me to feel the need to wear them all the time and when the weather starts improving ( usually late February - early March ) it ' s sandals time again girlfriend.

[AdHdSqUiRrEl]

The shoes I get. But taking your socks off? Fr? That's a bit much.

[liz99]

Im usually barefoot indoors only. I suppose it’s because it’s always fairly warm out where I live. I like the freedom of being free of shoes and socks, especially in my own home. It’s much more cozy. I also get pedicures often, so don’t feel the need to hide my feet. It’s interesting to hear of all the people that want to hide their feet or otherwise don’t like them. I love when a guy pays attention to my feet, it honestly turns me on and feels really good to me.

[caramelbrownie]

I have and quitely frankly don't mind it bc i have same policy at my house. Gotta remove shoes and socks. Keeps house clean

[Shezadi]

Yes. It happens in Pakistani households too. We just have separate shoes to wear indoors.

[caramelbrownie]

1. But do you have to remove your socks also at other ppls houses?
2. Who is the model in ur dp... she is hot!

[Anonymous]

The kids that I'm babysitting are always taking away my shoes and socks. I find it really embarrassing🙈

[brownvanilla75]

How and why? lol

[Opinion Owner]

I don't really know why, they like forcing me to stay barefoot and treating me as their slave😅

[brownvanilla75]

Haha what? How old are they?

[Opinion Owner]

🙈 They are 11 and 13.

[brownvanilla75]

haha so your bigger than them... do that to them b4 they can do it to you! Reverse the tables ;)

[caramelbrownie]

So what do you do once they make you their barefoot slave?

[Opinion Owner]

brownvanilla75 they are not that small and really powerful together😅 So are you suggesting me to try to stole their shoes and socks off their feet?

[Opinion Owner]

@caramelbrownie Whatever they want😅 They get me on my 4 and ride me like a pony🙈 They tickle me when I'm slow or anything else, they made me eat on floor while they sit, made me walk around in the garden for nothing etc...

[caramelbrownie]

Have u considered just going to their house in flip flops and taking it off when u get der? Or just give em ur shoes and socks when u get der, might confuse them. What u think?

[Opinion Owner]

@caramelbrownie I actually don't like my feet being seen in general, I don't even wear sandals or anything. What good confusing them could do to me?

[caramelbrownie]

maybe if being barefoot isn't a big deal to u in front of them, they will stop. I think they get joy from u being reluctant to go barefoot. They like seeing ur reaction. Dont give them the satisfaction... and then it won't give them joy to take away ur shoes

[Opinion Owner]

@caramelbrownie But how did they that I was reluctant to go barefoot in the first place? Actually, I suspect my mom has something to do with it. She always complained about how I always wear socks in the past. And she forced me to get this job. Maybe she told the boys to make me stay barefoot. Is such thing possible?

[caramelbrownie]

See the dots are connecting! Your solution is to just go barefoot for a while and wear sandals. Confuse everyone. By doing this one of two things will happen (or maybe both):

1. They will be surprised and will get off your back
2. You will overcome your hesitancy and maybe start to like it!

What do u think, worth giving it a shot?

[Opinion Owner]

@caramelbrownie No it's not worth it. I meant it when I said I hate being barefoot and I can't just pretend as I like it suddenly.

[caramelbrownie]

its not pretending that you "like it". It is pretending that you "don't hate it"... more like indifferent

[Opinion Owner]

@caramelbrownie But I also hate it :D

[caramelbrownie]

Haha i don't know what to say then. Ironically, hating being barefoot so much that you cannot even pretend you don't hate it, might lead to more barefootedness for you in the future lol

[Opinion Owner]

@caramelbrownie 🙈🙈

[Warmapplecrumble]

I do this at home and to everyone's house I go. I find it totally normal :-)

[caramelbrownie]

You are like me in this! Only usually i dont have to remove socks bc im wearing heels or flip flops

[Warmapplecrumble]

@caramelbrownie yeah when I wear socks in winter I usually remove them myself as I start getting really warm. But no one asks me to remove socks.
I ask my husband to remove socks or wear with indoor slippers since they collect dust :-)

[caramelbrownie]

preach sister preach!!

[Warmapplecrumble]

@caramelbrownie lol xD

[UnknownGagsUser]

It's not that strange.. it happens in my country too

[liz99]

I think feet are beautiful if there taken care of. I get pedicures often and don’t mind showing them off— so I would be fine with removing my socks !

[Anonymous]

I generally don't wear socks so I've never been told to remove them. But when I'm forced to remove my shoes I just go around barefoot without any problem

[TacosRAwesome]

Yes. Dint see it as a big deal to be honest.

[brownvanilla75]

Shoes most people agree with, but socks also?

[Freija1989]

@brownvanilla75 Why not? Socks are to keep your feet warm when it ' s cold and to absorb sweat and create a buffer while wearing closed foot wear. They are not to hide your feet and feet are not meant to be hidden. I find this obsession with hiding feet or always wearing shoes, even when unnecessary some people are having annoying as hell.
