Should shoes be allowed on in the house?

Welcome to today’s daily question, where cool moms get to tell other cool parents what they think. Today, we’ve got a question that can be a little controversial: Do you require shoes to come off at the front door? Parents have extremely strong opinions about whether outside shoes should be left at the door, or whether people make too big a deal about it — and we’d love to hear yours.

So let us know: Do you have a shoes-on home? A Shoes-off home? Something in the middle?

And does the photo above make you squirm?
