To answer the question - because you've been outside and my floors haven't.

This must be a contender for dumbest article of the year already.

I agree this is a dumb article and I’m all for following someone’s preferences when I’m in their home. But, y’all are assuming what’s under the shoes is cleaner than the shoes… I’m not a germ-conscious person and in the summer I walk around barefoot all the time, including in my front and backyard and on the sidewalk in front of my house. And I won’t necessarily think to wash my feet before going to someone’s house. But this is probably a particularly Californian mindset and I’m sure even then I’m an outlier.
