Which begs the question, where do the boots get dumped?
Hehe, I only ask because I have a 6 year old mud magnet named Liam, and a pair of Golden Retriever mud puppies.
Do I have to solve every problem!?
yes

There is no floor in the shelter. So it is absorbed into the ground. We have a teak wood shower floor to stand on but you could throw down a tarp folded up or even use a door mat as well if you're worried about splashing or mud. We place a camp chair outside next to shelter to hold change of clothes, towels, and a place to sit if you want to put your boots back on.

Expedition Ops makes a very nice wood shower mat that we've used for years. Here's the link:

World Market has a wood (bamboo) shower mat. I think I paid $16 on sale. Although not foldable, rollable: Works as a nice tent entry mat when not in use for shower duty. Also fits right behind my passenger seat when traveling where it can be used as a solid platform for 'stuff' or for feet. Just another alternative.......

That's a great option and quite honestly it probably takes up less room than the Redwood one from Expedition Ops. The advantage of the Expedition Ops mat is that you get a wee bit larger footprint with it - I used mine at Overland Expo as a door mat to help keep mud out of the camper.
What is trex?
Synthetic decking, you can find it at that big orange home store or the blue one.

Yea I like that idea, you can use treated lumber but once you rip it and drill the holes you are creating an untreated surface plus all the extra sanding/staining/polyurethane. Also if you use trex you can use 55 cord instead of ss cable because it wont matter if the cord stays wet inside the boards.

I was looking at the Ex Ops too but I am not rich either. I found this well built teak floor at Amazon for $40.00
And I actually think flat stores easier.
