Well, that is true, but what is also true is the following:
If you were going to buy a dog, you would make sure that the dog would not hurt when in your apartment, you would probably not leave trailing electrical wires that could be chewed, and see that the dog cannot harm itself.
Your girlfriend is more important then a dog, so make your apartment girlfriend friendly.
Compromise is important in a relationship, however, some people do not feel comfortable and 'at home' unless they are able to kick off their shoes and stay barefoot or with socks, and they feel really deprived and uneasy if they cannot do this at home. If she is like this, you may want to respect that.
On the other hand, if she did not make an attempt to clean the carpet, then maybe she is not appreciating your concern for taking good care of your belongings and keeping the apartment ship shape, and perhaps you need to talk about this more than anything else. Make sure there is a good understanding of what is expected by each of you as long as you live under one roof. But do compromise. It is so important not to fight over trivial stuff.

She's your girlfriend if you love her you wouldnt complain about a little bit of blood!
It washes out get some carpet cleaner you can get cheaply from supermarkets!
Like someone else said get her some sexy slippers and maybe she'd wear them.
What if it was on the other foot you cut your foot and got blood on her carpet would she make a lot of fuss??
She's be more concerned about your foot getting infected than a carpet!

In what way does wearing a pair of slippers - in YOUR flat - a mark of respect????
You seem to have no respect for your girlfriend and if not wearing slippers can cause you so many problems, I suggest you either a) get a life; b) get out more and/or c) seek therapy.

You prick! She has moved into your flat, and you're trying to say out of respect, and an accident, she now has to wear slippers. Isn't that like a punishment? I think that all she has to do is ensure the blood's cleaned up and that you, her partner, care more about her foot than setting rules.

I have no idea about what govern what I put on my feet. When indoors I sometimes wear shoes, I sometimes wear slippers, I sometimes wear just socks and I sometimes go around in bear feet. Perhaps sometimes it is a matter of comfort, sometimes it is a matter of convenience and sometimes it is a matter of planning (I tend to put my shoes on if I am planning to go out later in the day so that I don't have to waste time changing my footwear.
Now I know that some people worry about outdoor shoes being worm in the house because they are worried about making their carpets dirty.
But you are objecting to bear feet.
I am 49 years old and in all that time I have never experienced any problem with bare feet. The one possible exception to this was when I visited a boys' school dormitary where the smell of unwashed feet was overwhelming. But I don't think that this is what we are talking about here.
I think that it was very unfortunate that your girlfriend cut her foot unless one of you or both of you are in the habit of leaving sharp objects lying around. And I think that the chances of it happening again are remote unless you carry on being careless with sharp objects.
I'm not sympathetic to your cause because comfort, convenience and the freedom to be spontaneous and to do very much as I like are high priorities for me. The need to fill my life with precautions is not. Some people fill their lives with so many precautions that live ceases to be worth living. I'm saying that some precautions are fair and reasonable whereas other are either over the top or they start impinging on liberties that other people want to take for granted.
But I suppose that avoiding accidents that spoil high quality things and avoiding accidents that could be hard work to fix or expensive to fix is a high priority for you.
So I think that you need to discuss all of these things with your girlfriend and then agree guidelines that are acceptable to both of you. And this may involve compromise. Or it may involve you in lowering your standards to accept that it really is not necessary to take precautions for some kinds of freak accident. Or it may involve your girlfriend taking pity on your inability to relax about some things and agree to wear the bloody slippers anyway.
And please don't accuse her of lack of respect when you have no respect for her position. Your respect for her way of doing things is so low that you have npt even bothered to find out why she prefers her way of doing things to yours.
Sorry to be so hard on you but if my advice helps in some way perhaps you will forgive me.

I never wear slippers.
I don't even like socks.
I think your girlfriend is much more important than your girlfriend. As for respect - what about you respecting her right to be barefoot and to make sure that there isn't anything to hurt her - respect is a two way street buddy!

Find a woman you can control - your girlfriend seems to have herb own ideas and you obviously don't like that.
Also you seem to have no concern for her hurting herself at all - if she had cut her foot in her own home you probably would not care less.
In most civilised cultures (and indeed most tribal cultures) it is seen as highly disrespectful to wear any form of footware indoors.
