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?

    Crocs, my homie, crocs.

    You just keep a pair by the door. That’s for outside.

    You wear either slippers, a different pair of crocs, or whatever slip-ons you prefer around the house, then just swap out.

    Me? I’m barefootin’ it inside, and slip into either crocs or mud boots, depending on weather and task. If I’m leaving the house, I go for regular shoes though. Crocs chafe over long periods.

    Generally, you’ll only need three pairs total to make it work. 1st for indoor use, 2nd for yard duties, 3rd for public wear. Obviously, you can do more, like boots or different stuff for public wear.

    For public slip ons, go with mocs or driving slippers. But wear real shoes for biking or extended walking.

    I don’t do baskets. Makes slipping on and off a pain. Just pick up some mats. You can get cheap ones for this, since you won’t be wiping your feet on them, they’re just to keep the shoes semi contained.
