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?

So... I keep crocs at the door for those moments where I need to step out for a moment. slip on, slip off. For anything more... extensive than checking the mail or running out the trash; yeah, I put on proper shoes.

You're house will be cleaner if you don't wear shoes inside. If your feet get cold, socks, or slippers that stay inside are useful, but I generally just go barefoot. (or socked,)

This is probably why crocs are so popular.

I own a pair a couple of sizes too large for winter, so that I can step into them without even taking my slippers off.

I already knew what you meant by this point, although I assumed it was for giant/layers of wool socks, lol

[-] livus@kbin.social 6 points 8 months ago

My slippers are practically giant socks, just fleece-lined and grip soled.

Send me a link immediately, lol

[-] livus@kbin.social 6 points 8 months ago

Lol I just buy them from the local shops, but if you search for sherpa lined slipper socks or fleece lined slipper socks the same sort of thing comes up!

that's what I say everytime i pull them on. Not much of a slipper guy, but... for these, I make exceptions.

Updoot for Crocs!

I have a shoe tray near the front door, so anyone coming in has a place to put their shoes.

For mine, it has

  • Crocs, for those quick errands like taking out the trash. Easy on and off!
  • Sneakers, for anything longer, like walking the dog or going to the grocery. It’s no big deal to take a few seconds putting them on, since it’s for something that takes a while
  • if I wore boots or work shoes or dress shoes, I’ll leave them there until they dry. No big deal to get them from my closet, since I don’t use them every day, and it would be only once
  • socks for inside

I just wear them 24/7/365

[-] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

This is the way. My wife has a pair of crocs just for around the house.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago
