You know wood floors are worse right? You can literally see everything you track in from outside since theres no carpet to absorb or hide all the funk.

Hardwood floors are definitely easier to CLEAN but I don't think having them all of a sudden makes folks wearing shoes in your house "acceptable."
But if you didn't believe in the concept already it's whatever to you with carpet or hardwood floors.

its def not worse since mopping your floors is more practical than shampooing your carpet
i have no carpet or rugs in my place but i still don't let anyone in with their shoes.

I'm not gonna @ nobody but I just wanna say, if you actively DON'T value cleanliness, you not invited in my home, you not invited to the cookout, you not invited to ANYTHING that's within my prerogative.

100% agree.
I was speaking more so on a visible aspect. Since most of these dirty boys dont trip because they cant see all the dirt and grime being absorbed into the carpet. Where as wood floors you can literally see every speck being tracked in.
Nt extremes. They prob gon sue talkin bout sexual harassment.

It has been some time now and maybe you/others have changed your stances but if you haven't;
(My fault if this is a repost)
According to multiple studies, fecal material can be detected on the bottom of shoes using swabs, with some studies finding that up to 99% of shoes test positive. Fecal bacteria on shoes can indicate frequent contact with fecal material.
Leave your shoes at the door: Science says they're covered in poop and could make you sick
Studies suggest the soft bottoms of shoes bring legions of disease-carrying bacteria and fecal germs deep into your home — E. Coli included.

I also agree with whoever said the, "I shouldn't have to take my shoes off" crowd probably didn't own their spot or lived on their own.

I got tile and LVP flooring. I don’t have no one take there shoes off. And when I’m home I usually use my house slides or home shoes that don’t go outside.
Someone asks me to take off my shoes then I don’t mind. Grew up like that anyways.

If you don't take your shoes off, then you don't respect me or my house. Kindly leave.

its pretty simple...if the ppl that are hosting have their shoes off, take yours off...if they have them on...keep yours on.
theres no problem as long as your socks dont have holes in them

If I'm a first time guest and see that they have their outdoor shoes on then I'm for sure keeping mine on. Highly doubt that they'd ask me to take off mine Besides that, it's always shoes off.

Related, but what's the deal with the type of folks that leave their smelly shoes out in the hallway in a damn apartment complex?
