NO shoes in our house. In the winter I wear socks. Outside around here I wear shoes because it's dirty and people let their dogs shit in the grass right outside our garage door. Everywhere else, I'm shoeless. I tend to take off my shoes when I'm working and visiting someone else's house where they take theirs off, too, which totally grosses S out.
"You think they want your dirty, stinky feet on their floor?"
"It's either that or the dirt off the bottom of my shoes..."

I get really irritated when workmen walk right past our shoe rack, up the stairs and tromp across our wood floors, tracking all kinds of crap. I've made people go back down again. Carpet holds dirt, grossness, cat hair, people dander, etc.... it weirds me out, but I usually sit on the floor, so I force myself not to think about it. But, there's less of it since there are no shoes on our floors.
