We have shoe molding on our laminate flooring and I actually like it. The flooring was installed by the previous owners of our home. The baseboards look like they have dimension with the shoe molding. We have round corners on our walls which was an upgrade when the home was built. The shoe molding around those corners looks really nice. I would imagine I'm liking the look because who ever installed the floors did an excellent job installing the shoe molding too. The cuts are perfect.
