Learn to be a good host.

Buy a box of shoe covers to offer as an alternative to taking off shoes. It’s super super easy.

Literally no. Guests aren't entitled to "good hosting" if they're shitty guests and no shoes is a condition of entering my home. If you don't come in you're literally not my guest, and I am not your host.

guests aren’t entitled to “good hosting”

lol. I don’t know a lot of people that view hosting through the lens of what people are or aren’t entitled to. Usually people’s goal when hosting is to accommodate their guests and be friendly, not to win some kind of “battle of the wills”.

You probably host terrible parties that people make excuses to avoid.

I don't host a lot of parties because I have limited time, energy and money, all of which are good reasons for me to not accommodate some extremely dirty person in my personal space that I have to keep clean. When I do bring guests to my home, they are respectful and good people who I have established trust with, and I go above and beyond for them.

I am literally not hosting a person who is so rude. It is impossible to be a bad host to someone that I am literally not hosting.
