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?

    What do you do if it was raining? Don’t you now have mud and water inside your house.

      I usually don’t get mud on my jacket when it rains, how do you even do that?Unless it’s a complete downpour, microburst levels of water, the jacket would only be slightly damp. Jackets don’t hold water by design, and if it’s drenched I’d put on something else. If your shoes are muddy, wet, or covered in snow then you take them off.

        Right so you do take your shoes off when you go inside.

        This is such a weird thing to try and suggest is normal.

          Yeah, and I’m the strange one for asking guests to do so, and wasn’t raised that way. Even people with much nicer places than mine don’t expect others to take their shoes off.
