doormats
Wiped feet land
Doormats are mats placed at doorways for wiping shoes before entering.
The plural also refers to people who let others walk all over them—those too passive to resist mistreatment: She's tired of being a doormat in that relationship.
The metaphor connects literally to the object's function and placement.
