意思
Removing footwear before entering a house.
文化背景
The threshold of a door is considered the home of the 'Mae Sue' or guardian spirit. Never step ON the threshold; always step OVER it after removing your shoes. Shoes should be turned to face the door after being taken off, making it easier to step back into them when leaving. This is a sign of a well-bred person. Showing the soles of your shoes or feet to someone is considered a grave insult, as they are the lowest part of the body. Removing them at the door prevents this. Due to snow and mud, removing shoes is standard practice in homes, though it lacks the religious significance found in Asia.
Look for the pile
If you see a pile of shoes outside a door, it's a 100% sign you must remove yours.
Check your socks
Since you'll be taking off your shoes often, make sure your socks don't have holes!

The 'No-Ask' Rule
If the floor is wood or carpet, just take them off. Don't even ask; it shows you know the culture.
Neatness counts
Don't just kick your shoes off. Place them neatly side-by-side. It shows good 'marayat' (manners).
