Fully agree with dressing appropriately, which for me means nicely groomed with no bare feet, no sweats or workout gear, etc. Khakis and a polo / sweater are fine.
Also, for those people who remove shoes upon entering their home, I STRONGLY urge you not to ask / require the BGO to do this. It can be very awkward. For example, women today often wear dress shoes without socks and now they have to walk around YOUR house BAREFOOT. Or, the BGO may have a hole in his / her socks. I also suggest the candidate wear shoes on this one occasion, though not doing so is ok assuming decent socks. [Yes, this is a pet peeve of mine
