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 grew up wearing shoes indoors. My husband who is Canadian, couldn’t understand why anyone would wear them inside the house. For the first 14 years together, we lived with a no shoes policy and soon after I felt it didn’t make sense to wear shoes. Now that my kids are teens, we ALL seem to be wearing our shoes indoors and I find it difficult to ask visitors to remove them. (I now live in a neighborhood with people who are like some of the above appalled posters). So after just spending an hour washing my kitchen hardwoods (totally disgusting), I want to re-instate the policy and thought, maybe a sign. I also want to put some slippers and footsies (ankle type socks) in a basket to accommodate the people who are embarrassed by odor problems or are wearing nylons and are afraid of runs. Enjoyed your post, thanks.
Creative Recreation trainers are made in the USA, but essentially the CR design team have combined a shoe with a trainer whilst adding bling. The result is something totally different from anything else on the market today. Creative Recreation sell high-tops as well as Milano low’s. Some key styles include: Testa Reflective, Cesario and Marino. Although our favourites are the Milao Low Black Vintage Khaki footwear collection. Creative Recreation encourage you to be different and endulge in the finer things in life with a colour to suit every mood and outfit. Creative Recreation trainers are a firm favourite with celebs and available to buy from Jada Styles.
LOVE this saying! Thank you!
It’s nice to see someone who finally gets it! The last thing I need are my small children crawling and playing on the floor with filth and germs from the bottoms of other people’s shoes. It is a health hazard people.
