Having being brought up to take my shoes off when entering an house. I always do so at others unless asked not to do so and then I check the bottoms for stuff that may foul carpets. It just doesn't feel right walking on carpets, I expect people housed to be be treat the same as mine, carpets are expensive.
My family tell me that in the 70's my Dad made people take their shoes off before getting in his car! He passed on 25 years ago and I was only 7 so didn't get chance to ask him about that peculiar obsession!
