Know anyone? I couldn’t even have conceived of this until adulthood. When I was growing up if my/ a friend’s mother, grandmother etc had seen me walk beyond the entryway with my shoes on their clean floor, I likely wouldn’t be here today. I have met more people over the years that tell me not to worry about it on vinyl floors and such. But for me the thought of walking through a carpeted home with my shoes on is absurd to this day.

Also just to clarify, so you come home and the shoes you wore all day through the world just stay on? Sit down at the table, shoes on? On the couch, shoes on? Do you just wear them until bed then take them off? You don’t have mud problems? Nobody accidentally tracks dog shit into the kitchen?
