If they're notably gross, yes. But not if they were just outside and came in normal. Which is my point. If someone's shoes are notably gross, that's also a different story.

Ha! My 65 pound dog still thinks she's a puppy (and she's 8 years old, dammit), the idea of trying to slow her down long enough to clean her feet just makes me smile. The blasts past me at a hundred miles an hour and then tears up the stairs so fast that I think one of these days she may actually tear the carpet.

And anyway, have you ever tried to get a dog's paws clean? Like, meaningfully clean?

I have Roombas and I hire a housecleaner once a week. Our house is actually pretty clean in spite of the silly dog.
