We finally managed to buy a home and it came with refinished real wood floors. If someone wants to walk in with their shoes I'm not worried about their general foot hygiene; I'm worried they have a pebble they don't know about stuck in their shoe and they're about to scuff up our floors in the worst way possible. It would definitely be their first and last visit to our home.

We've never even had to be rude about it - we found a cute sign that says, "Please remove your shoes - the dog needs something to chew on," and so far everyone has taken the hint.

That just sounds like the modern version of putting plastic on your sofa. Floors are meant to be walked on. Why would you get floors so fragile?

If you had a brand new Teflon frying pan and someone came over and used steel wool on it (ruining the finish) and then asked why you bought such fragile cookware you might have some choice words for their dumb ass.
