Often the simplest ideas are the best. People wandering around the data center with mucky shoes can spread dust and other contaminants that can be sucked into the airflow and end up causing problems. These adhesive floor mats located at all entry points into the data center are designed to capture the general filth that is attached to our footwear.
Changed ever day they are an incredibly simple and effective way to reduce the spread of contaminants in out sites.
Anyone know where these can be bought?

There seems to be a lot of online dealers available if you google for tacky mats, sticky mats, cleanroom mats etc.

These are used extensively in Semiconductor clean rooms for the same purpose. Search for “Tacky Mats”.
Just don't ask your staff to wear the matching bunny suits or you will have a mutiny on your hands.
