You have to remove or shoes as a sign of respect
In what context? The answer you may be searching for is that they remove their shoes.
Most people do ;)
No, that's a Japanese custom.
That when your about to enter a house in japan u have to take your shoes off.
Fleas can enter a house without pets by hitching a ride on clothing, shoes, or other items that have come into contact with infested areas. They can also be brought in by rodents or wildlife that have fleas. Once inside, fleas can infest carpets, furniture, and bedding, leading to a potential infestation.
No, I've attempted to do this, and the shoes would have to be very loose on your feet in order to get the sock off without ripping/tearing it. Sorry! :(
A moccasin.
In a Japanese house you should always remove your shoes. The area in which you take off your shoes is called the genkan. In this area one slips off their shoes careful not to touch the floor of the genkan with their socks. Step up onto the raised floor in socks and put on the slippers if desired. It is impolite to enter barefoot so one should wear socks.
his socks, without taking off his shoes *winks*
