    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. 
    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.   
    glad I have girls. LOL
    I don’t know bud, my daughter is the toughest of the five.  That death look bro!!!!
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    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.
    my porch mats get quite dirty and need to be cleaned often. 
    Of course, I'm not saying it's like that all the time.  But that's why you have mats, so you can wipe your feet before going inside.  No different than floor mats in a car or the carpet or hardwood in the house.

    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. 
    Shower with your shoes on.  All problems solved. :lol:

    I only wear shoes in the house if I am wearing cleats that will mark the floor up real good.  Otherwise, I take my shoes off and walk on my hands.  Isn’t that the norm?

    LOL. 5 SECOND RULE! 
    As a kid it was 10 seconds, as an adult...5.
    I always thought it was 3.

    Well no wonder you are grossed out by people wearing shoes indoors!  I bet you are a big hit with the bridesmaids as well, ha

    I'll tell you one thing, I sure as hell wouldn't eat food I drop on a floor I don't control the cleanliness of. In my own home, sure, I eat food that falls on the floor all the time. Can't say I've ever licked a floor; tabletop, yes, yes I have.

    I'll see your piss in a garbage can and raise you a half-asleep 8 year old pissing in to the cupboard below the bathroom sink, where my wife keeps all of her toiletries and such. That was a fun night...

    There was a bar in college we went to that had carpet on some levels; super gross. You could feel your shoes wanting to remain behind every time you picked up your foot. The equivalent of moving in to a carpeted male dorm room. Yikes! They should have shoe condoms for treacherous terrain like that.

    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?
    Finally! I'm trying to catch up on this ridiculous thread. I have a dog, and have always had dogs. They go in and out of the house all day long. The last thing I care about is people wearing shoes in the house. And I know it sounds strange, but we also sweep, mop and vacuum. And PJSoul, your 100% Asian observation is accurate where I am. It is 100% Asians, mostly East Indians in my area, that are shoeless indoors. It is easy to tell which houses they live in on my street because their shoes are on the front porch (and occasionally I see posts from them about their shoes being stolen, lol). I'd say about 1% of the people I know remove shoes in their house, and I typically avoid going over since I prefer to remain dressed when out.

    I take my shoes off, but I take them off inside the house, not outside. That’s just asking for trouble.
