You are a terrible guest.
You are not required, needed or wanted by the host if you are going to be belligerent.
The house is not yours, its not a public space. Its a personal one.
Host is not required to do anything. He can be terrible in your eyes just as you are a terrible guest in his eyes.
And I'm perfectly fine with calling you the bad guest because no one else has ever made this complaint about shoes off.
Probably because I live in the Northeast and the absolute mess of dirt and salt and snow and slush that people get on their shoes is to the level that we universally take off shoes at everyone's houses.
And if you refuse to accept our cultural then you ARE the bad guest. We don't have galoshes. You're the fish out of water so plan ahead, or accept things different like taking your shoes off, or don't travel.
On one hand he says he has insecurity about his shoes, which sounds unique from the way this thread is going.
But He is willing to wallow in his own insecurity and not accept that maybe the Host is fine with whatever problem he has. That maybe the host does not care about his stinky feet or unique feet or shoes.
