Why?
I find it very disgusting that some people just walk straight back and forth (not to mention their pets too) in and out of their home with their footwear on. My parents were like this, and I found it to be very low class and dirty, especially with carpet.
Sure, they say that the typical phone is more contaminated than the bottom of your shoe, but hey, that doesn't mean that your shoe is clean. I'm not just talking about mud, dirt, and rain water, but about the things that are or have recently been there: dog urine/feces, spit, gum, cigarette butts, garbage in general, pollution, public washrooms --- head into the city and you can add multiply all this by 100.
Even if you live in a dry sunny place, it's the same thing, in fact, there would be little rain to wash away all the filth, it would just build up. Would you get down and lick the sidewalk while standing at the bus stop or washroom? Yet, people take these shoes inside, where they and their kids are often on the floor.
