so if some of us are grossly exaggerating the dirtiness of shoe tread, at the same time as underestimating how gross someone's feet are, would you be ok with someone walking/driving around your neighbourhood, stopping for gas and going to the washroom there, and then coming into your house and walking around with those same bare feet?
Who cares? Do you guys lick or eat off the floor? If the floor gets dirty I bust out my vacuum or swiffer and clean it up.
Exactly. It's a floor, not a table.... although either way, I clean them.
What are the no shoes no matter what people's thoughts on pets on the tables and counters?

I don't know about you, but I prefer to not have neighbourhood animal fecal matter in my house.

I don't know if I'd want someone who refuses to ever wear shoes over at my house in any case, lol.

Sure, why not? It's not like I'm licking their feet or eating off the floor they walk on. And I clean my floors regularly so I don't see a big deal.

it's not "no matter what". as outlined, there are exceptions.

cats are a lot cleaner than humans are.
Not if your big concern is animal fecal matter in your house.

I don't know. I just get annoyed when I step on a tiny pebble (kinda like stepping on a lego) or dirt that has been brought in by my kids who may forget to take their footwear off right away.
and then that gets tracked onto the furniture inevitably. people put their feet up on the couch, on the coffee table, etc. I prefer not to have my nice couch wrecked by ground in dirt.
I think most people are not okay with shoes on the furniture, but dang, those must be some dirt-caked shoes if they are leaving all that dirt all over the place. I think you should take Scruffy up on his offer!

they constantly clean themselves. and there's really no way to prevent a cat from going wherever the fuck it wants to. a cat is rude and does what it wants. humans have the option of being considerate about not tracking their dirt everywhere they go.

you misunderstood. I'm saying that if there is dirt in my house from someone's shoes, then me walking around my house barefoot or in socks will track that dirt elsewhere; the couch, my bed, etc.

I'm looking at the bottom of my shoes now. Aside from being visibly discolored from normal wear, there is no caked-on dirt or loose debris that could be tracked anywhere. Now I'm sure I could get a high-powered magnifying glass out and be proven differently, but when we're talking microscopic scale then we've reached the point of insignificance.

you obviously misunderstood if you thought I was talking about shoes on the furniture. and I stated pretty clearly earlier how silly this discussion is. it's a fun and interesting conversation, as I have honestly never heard of people tramping around someone's house with their shoes on.

my porch mats get quite dirty and need to be cleaned often.

I live in a neighborhood that is new...under construction. Lots of dirt all around. If you don't take your shoes off at my door, you will get dirt on the hardwood or even worse wherever their is carpet. So everyone is removing shoes.
I personally don't understand the extremes here. It's just up to whoever's house it is. That's it.

Not extreme to explain cultural norms where I am and what I've observed elsewhere.
people can do what they wish as long as they aren't being a dick to whomever they are visiting, as you said.

well I still shower even though I dont see any caked on dirt or loose debris on me. Stupid me.
Maybe its different across the pond.

My kids do all the time, kids are gross.
This debate is great.
Agreed, kids are gross. The other day My five year old decided to pissin the garbage can instead of the toilet. Good times.
