No.
Wear slippers if your feet get cold. Not that hard.
Wearing outdoor shoes inside is gross.

Moe is right. I purchased a home with hardwood throughout and, though it looks fantastic, they are a bitch to keep clean. I have pets and a fireplace and be prepared to clean them every day for the most part (at least with a dust mop) if you want to keep them dust free. Having had both carpet and hardwoods there is no question that hardwoods are MUCH higher maintenance to keep clean and shining than carpet. Next house I get will have carpet throughout. Hardwood looks nice but is just too high maintenance. And yes, I'm lazy in that I don't want to dust mop every goddamn day.

We've got an older style middle-dark oak with dark veins in it, stained a light-moderate oak stain so dust doesn't show too easily. It's got 3 layers of poly on it.
One important trick... go with a rougher or satin style finish, not a 'clear sheen' finish. That makes the floor look more naturally rustic, and doesn't broadcast every f'ing bit of dirt or dust or scuff.
We don't have too many problems with scrapes, and none at all with 'imprint' dents. You have to drop something pretty heavy on it to get a dent, and that's not too noticeable.
We wear slippers or socks most of the time, so that means we only have to run a mop or duster of some kind over it maybe every 4-6 days.
I am a little crazy about having the wood get scraped up, though. It bothers me when I detect any new scratch.

I'm pretty sure someone cleans my floors on some kind of regular basis. I know I saw a woman with a mop a couple of times and I don't notice dust that often.
