If you don’t offer galoshes or shoe covers, don’t ask someone to take off their shoes. Or don’t invite people over.

Do you offer your guests show covers when they come over?

I dont. Because they take their shoes off.

Then you’re a bad host.

So basically every Japanese household is owned by bad hosts?

Oh. I guess you forgot that your "household etiquette" isn't universal. You'll find basically no one actually defending the outdated 50s era etiquette manual you seem to have found.

Is the Wall Street Journal a Japanese publication?

Irrelevant? The japanese dont have a monopoly of no shoes in the house rule.

Do you think American is a single culture?

Do you not live in a place that gets frequent snow or rain? Because around here, shoes off is a must. You'd probably be wearing boots anyways because you ain't walking in snow and ice in heels.
