My fiance says he's never heard of this and I can't tell you I know where it came from but I take my shoes off and carry them or leave them outside the boundary when I know I'm waking over dead people! We're supposed to respect dead people and you respect people by taking off your shoes when you enter their home! You should take your shoes off when walking where dead people live(are)???

Am I just insane???

Never heard of this rule but sounds like a cultural difference. I wish people would take their shoes off in my home but it's not common around here.
