I am going to follow this thread.
When I walk in the door I will take off my shoes, but I will not put on shoes that someone else has worn. When I web cam with my lady she always has bare feet. I cannnot remember her ever having something on her feet when she was in her room. I can't even remember her ever wearing socks. In my place I had hardwood floors throughout the house. They are much more sanitary than a carpeted floor. If you want a carpet, get a throw rug. Then you just bring it in and get it cleaned.
