This is norm in much of Europe (as in east, west, north and FWIW some south too), middle east and north Africa. Shoes are always dirty, even on non-rainy day. Sure, you can have rather mess at your home (absolutely unavoidable with smaller kids) but you can do some basic effort to tackle it. Also, massively unhygienic for various fungus that loves damp warm places on your toe nails or between toes.
