Pop quiz, hotshot: A guest walks into your home with their shoes on. What do you do?
A) Politely ask them to remove their shoes at the door
B) Wish they would take their shoes off, but say nothing
C) Probably not notice

Another 25 percent said that while they prefer that shoes are removed, it isn't a huge deal, and they're pretty lax about the policy.

I was thinking the surgical shoe covers too, I worked in a hospital and used them while painting. You can get them on e-bay.
