Looking for some really creative ways to ask your guess to “remove the shoes!” I was asked over on the Tip Junkie Facebook page by Noralyn if, “I had any ideas for a sign that politely or comically request that my house guest remove their shoes at her front door.”
Asking guests to Take Off Shoes can be easier than you think with these fun ideas. Please note, that none of these are actual tutorials, they are links to ideas and Etsy shops! Sadly, I searched and searched so if you have a tutorial on your site – I’d love to see it. {wink}
Remove The Shoes
1. Here’s a cute block that you can decorate or embellish any way that you like and pop in a darling black and white photo of your kiddies piggies. {scroll down to bottom-middle on that post}
2. Take Off Shoes lettering by the baseboards is such a fun idea. I love how the letters get progressively larger but the same color as the wall. {snicker}
3. Removing Shoes Before Entering {True} – This Print Is A Digital Reproduction Of An Original BirdAve Illustration and completely whimsical and fun.
4. Mahalo for taking off your shoes! This sign is a whimsical and colorful reminder for your guests to remove their shoes before entering your home created by Rusti Lee.
5. his is a great idea to cross stitch something into a beautiful frame like this, “Abandon Shoes All Ye Who Enter”.
6. Please Remove Your Shoes painted rectangle door hanger. It’s hand painted with several fun shoe types on it.
7. “Please Remove Your Shoes ~ Don’t take better ones on your way out!” sign is hysterical!
8. Since I’m from Texas I really appreciate this sign, “If you’re not George Strait, Take your boots off!”
9. Here’s another funny one, “Life is made of choices, Remove your shoes or scrub the floor”.
10. On Facebook Heather suggested this sign, ” We are military stationed in Japan… I see signs all the time that say “This is an American home, run Japanese style (since they take their shoes off at the door).” I thought that was such a cool idea, I found one.
Wondering what to do with the shoes that people are taking off all the time? I LOVE the idea behind this shoe rack that floats off the floor. Seriously cool.
Be sure to let me know if you make any of these Remove The Shoes signs or a different one of your own. Simply leave the link to your blog post in the comments, or upload a photo to the Tip Junkie Facebook page. I adore hearing from you. {{wink}}

I have so much trouble when guests come to my home. They seem to IGNORE all my signs.
I thought I would try a new approach.
Welcome to our home.
Please remove your shoes inside the door
We prefer to keep the Dirt outdoors ~~
Not inside on our floors!!
I am hoping this one will work.
I ask people would you lick the parking lot at walmart, i sure dont want my 1 year old daughter playing in it. Sometimes people get offended, i offer booties, or they dont have to come over.
loved your article on this, super helpful and so creative, with the pics. please keep them coming! i really struggle with my room mate who is not the cleanest and tidiest of species… ; ) need to find ways to tell her, in a delicate but yet forceful way!
Is it weird to have a dog inside my home and put a sign asking guests to remove their shoes?
