AITA for insisting that guests in my home take off their shoes

I (28F) am British but ethnically Korean, and I was brought up to always take my shoes off indoors.

It’s a big part of Korean culture not to wear shoes indoors. I know not everyone does that in their own homes, but in my home, I don’t wear shoes, and I don’t want others wearing shoes either, so I politely ask guests to take their shoes off.

Recently, I hosted a dinner party for about 8 friends. Nobody had a problem except one who said her shoes were part of her outfit and she didn’t want to take them off.

I told her I’m sorry, but I insist, and she got angry. She refused and ended up storming off.

Am I the jerk?

Good riddance to her, shoes carry loads of germs, anyway.

This makes sense.

And people are taking her side.

Your party, your house, your rules.
