Americans don't walk, they drive so their shoes are very clean.

At least in my corner of America, it's expected that you buy a house that's too big for you and then spend the rest of your life doing home improvement projects on it. So our shoes are usually tracking sawdust or other such debris from the garage to whichever part of the house we're working on and back.

I should have just rented.

That sounds like a terrible, ill-informed, stereotype.

Maybe they don't walk as much on average, but shoes get dirty no matter what country you're in.
