Same shoes you wear in public restrooms. Oil from leaky cars in parking lots. Gum and bird poop on the sidewalk etc.

To put it another way, would you lay down on the floor in your own home? Would you lay on everything you walked on today (purely from a cleanliness standpoint)?

As an American I'm confused by this too.

What kinds of jacked up places do you go where so soiled that you need to take them off? I mean, if my shoes are obviously soiled I'd take them off.

What I'm really concerned with are microparticles in the air from pollution. That's why I'm always naked in my house. It's the only way to be clean.

I work in a machine shop. The bottoms of my shoes are covered with tiny shards of razor sharp metal. Not gross but painful.

Before that I was a mechanic. Oil and coolant and burned transmission fluid. Straight gross.

It's not that everything my shoes touch is horrible or that I think shoes are the only vector for dirt. It just seems like a really easy way to reduce the amount of poo poo I have to vaccum off the floor.
