Step 1
This was a REQUESTED article, by the way.
Immediately after stepping in dog feces, try to scrape as much of it as you can on the ground, preferably grass. If you can, take the shoe off immediately. It's not something you want to track in the house or in your car. -
Step 2
Try to clean it off before it dries. However, it will be at its stinkiest while moist. It is better if you clean your shoe outside, to prevent stinking up the house. Use paper towels or newspaper to wipe as much off as you can and put them in a plastic bag after use. If you are working inside, take out the trash after you're done.

Step 3
After you've wiped away as much as possible, you'll need to clean it from the shoe treads. If you have wide, deep treads, such as those on many boots, you'll want to use a stick or something similar to scrape it out of the threads. Otherwise, go to step four.
-
Step 4
Use an old brush, an old toothbrush works wells, with baking soda and soap, such as dish detergent, to brush the feces from the shoe treads, or anywhere else on the shoe that has been in contact with the dog droppings. Rinse and repeat until the shoe is clean.

Step 5
Wash hands very well.
