Per John B.:

As I told Joerg, just wash your feet :-)

I don't buy it when it comes to carpets.

Bare floors, maybe... but feet will still be damp after "Washing" and
that will affect the carpet over time.

Quotes because I strongly suspect "Washing" = "Quick rinse with clear
room-temperature water".

Well, if you have polished mahogany floors, or terrazzo, floors in
your abode and you wash your feet before you enter you won't have
problems with your carpet.

Carpets also add to the servants work load with all that vacuuming and
frequent visits by the carpet cleaning company. They will applaud you
when you get rid of them.

I have come to the conclusion that hardwood floors with area rugs are much better than wall to wall carpets. These wall to wall crap accumulators are nothing but trouble and for no added comfort.
