Depends. They will ask a few questions likely. In one case, when I had been traipsing around the edges of rice patties in the jungle in the Philippines they got my shows and checked for dirt on them. Basically cleaned the treads out pretty good with a tool. It depends a lot on the region you are in I suspect. In my case they told me they were concerned about specific types of fungus that can grow on rice.
