I ordered this for my front entry way and the texture is great for a 'shoe' traffic area. So far no dirt seems to show on the beige part of the rug after coming in from outside (something I was initially worried about). I will say however that the grey is a bit more darker in person, it seems lighter in the pictures. Also, there were some black dirt marks on the rug once I rolled it out from its packaging. I almost wondered that I got someones returned rug. I'd be more concerned about the marks if it wasn't going in an entryway with outside shoes, so I decided to keep it.
