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?
As someone with one leg 6mm shorter than the other and has had a history of knee/back problems: I wear indoor only crocs w’ foam insole in one croc. You don’t realize how much going barefoot or just socks in your home hurts your feet, knees, or back over time. Crocs have the perfect amount of cushion for me to no longer have constant feet and joint pain. I use Skechers slip-ins for quick outdoor things. I go back and forth between the two as needed without hassle.
For folks without a disability, being barefoot is not damaging.
I thought that it was the opposite even, and that walking barefoot from time to time strengthens certain parts of your feet and legs that would otherwise be underused.
Is not damaging
Right up until you step on something or kick something by accident and then it’s real damaging
I remember a few years ago, my feet started bothering me. Then I realized it happened after I moved to a house with hardwood floors.
Sanuk house slippers fixed me right up.
