    In the event of a crash the shoes on or off would be the list of the worries for those, who'd be pulling your body out.

    We drove bicycles bare foot while kids, why would I change my habits with a vehicle, which a lot simpler thing to drive?)

    I like bare feet on the beach and on the grass. That’s about it. Used to be I couldn’t go to bed without socks on. I also have to have house shoes on indoors. That is kinda weird. Literally to walk 15 feet to refill water glass I slip them on.

    My minimizer mats on top of my carpet have never been dirty in 5 years. Like you
    Multiple layers of protection. Even in our cars my wife and I don’t wear shoes.
    Just OCD about clean house cars and such

    I actually sweep and mop my floor at the end of every shift. I’ve got it down to a science it only takes me about three minutes. I can’t stand waking up putting my feet on a dirty floor. Lol

    I have a dog as well. She stands on top steps gets feet wiped with wipes. Blow gun
    And vacuumed daily. 85 lb rough collie. Lassie.
    Takes me minutes a day to keep my truck clean. I guess it’s all in your priorities

    It's just a preference. Whether the house is dirty or not, its a persons choice. What I don't get is why people try to argue their preference is better than another.

    Obviously people shouldn't be driving with their bare feet up on the dashboard. But if you know how to drive, whether or not you have shoes on doesn't matter.

    I asked a CHP officer that back in late 80’s and he said no law at the time he knew of.
    Been driving barefoot for over 30 years and never once been asked about it. How many dozens of inspections I have been thru and not once anything said. Even in my heavy haul days. Disconnect RGN neck. Take boots off and coveralls off and move truck
    Then redress yes a pain, but my interior wasn’t ####ed up after a few years. Always helped on resale.

    I was kidding)

    Of course, whatever suits anyone what they are driving with or without inside the cab is just fine, as long as they are safe for the outside world. For me personally, I'd like to not steam my feet more than I have to. Plus, I like to feel whatever I'm interacting with and be as gentle as I can with the equipment which feeds and clothes my family. Dirty, steamy boots do not provide such pleasure.)
