boot tray

Muddy shoe holder

A boot tray is a shallow rectangular tray, typically made of plastic or rubber, placed near an entryway to hold wet or muddy footwear.

It keeps floors clean by containing water, snow, and dirt that drip from boots and shoes: Leave your boots on the boot tray so you don't track mud through the house.
