I have been reading a lot lately about not wearing outside shoes in the house and it interests me even more because I’ve been saving to re-carpet my whole house. It hits me every now and then about how to do things though, like, say I’m cooking all day on Sunday then need to take the trash out. I’m assuming it’s change shoes, then say the grandkids stop by and want to go go for a bike ride? I’m assuming it’s change shoes. I guess maybe what I’m asking is how many baskets by how many doors with how many pairs of slip-ons (both indoor and out) do I need?
Doesn’t wearing your shoes constantly destroy your shoes prematurely?
They’re a helluva lot more durable than my socks.
Not sure who’s down voting you, but socks are meant to be in shoes and shoes are meant to be in contact with the ground. Shoes have rubber soles, socks are cloth. One of these things is much more durable than the other.
I have 90% hardwood floors and my socks get destroyed if I don’t wear slippers of some sort.
Are you wearing shoes without socks?
No, the whole point of socks is to protect your shoes from your feet.
You know what? We could just put a plastic layer over the carpet to extend its life. That way we’d have shoes plus plastic and our carpet would always technically be clean, too!
Add some quality of life to this by installing multi-layer plastic sheets with perforation at the wall for easy cleanup when you forget whether your current shoes are indoor or outdoor.
