Yeah I think it must be a factor. Though some people also just get their shit dirty all the time and don't care if the flooring gets trashed.

Frankly my mental health couldn't withstand such an inane life in such a manicured environment, I don't think. I live in a city, and my shoes definitely still get dirty lol, because I actually go places that don't have parking garages, or (gasp) even walk/bike places, or go off the sidewalk onto some grass on occasion. Or snow
