Yep. And quite frankly, I don’t understand the hostility. I take my shoes off if they’re clearly dirty (ie. mud, water, etc.) but normal just walking on sidewalk? Why?

Maybe there is some kind of very trace amount of dirt on there but what difference does it make to my floors? I wear shoes in the house too so if they are dirty, oh well. I guess if you had one person going barefoot and one wearing shoes, maybe that is why you find it odd?

I also think a lot of people here are very afraid of any dirt. I vacuum weekly and mop biweekly and it seems fine (mostly hardwood here.)

Like why would my floors need to be spotless? Do people just find it “icky” or what? I have to think there is like a next to zero chance you contract any kind of sickness by just wearing shoes inside your house and “bringing in dirt” so
