Carpets need to be cleaned more often if you wear outside shoes inside, or if you go barefoot inside. Wearing socks (better) or slippers (best) inside keeps carpets cleaner longer. Hardwood floors are easier to clean with bare feet.
I really prefer hard floors and area rugs that are small enough to be washed in a machine.

Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I have a pair of slippers inside if needed, but I really just keep my shoes by the door and wear socks.
Slippers inside the house and a pair of clogs/loafers for stepping outside (take out trash, get mail, etc.). You don’t need a pair for every room in your house.
Also if you don't already have it, get a longer shoe horn so you can also slip into robust shoes more easily!
I never wear shoes in the house, and rarely wear socks unless it's really cold.
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.
If I'm going on a bike ride then yes, I put shoes on (I'm not "changing shoes", because I had no shoes on to begin with). If I'm doing something quick outside like taking the trash out, I'll either just stay barefoot or maybe slip something like Crocs on if they're close by enough to be convenient. You know if your skin touches the ground outside, it'll be fine right? It also dries way faster than a sock or a shoe if you go out in the rain. It's entirely fine.

I have house moccasins by Softmock. Swap footwear by the door. If I am putting my feet up on the couch or whatever the mocs stay on the floor. If I have to go outside, shoes go on. I have outside mocs(the old worn pair of house mocs) that I swap to for quick outside excursions for trash, mail, dog. I used to have an old pair of converse low tops with the backs folded down, but I don't wear chucks anymore.
I have slippers for when I want to cook in the kitchen or nip outside for a minute, etc. Other than that, I just wear my socks indoors.
Also of course, don't wear dirty shoes past the entryway of the house. If they're not dirty that's another story, but if they are, off they come.
I wear moccasins indoors. My partner wears slippers. All shoes are at the door either on the floor (under a slim table for keys and accessories) or in a shoe rack (for her shoes; I only have three pairs).
I wear whatever I want whenever I want. I have no carpets to fuss over, and I have cats so you never know when you might step in some mess. We vacuum and mop regularly so don't really care.
As a sandal wearer I have a pair next to the door for when I head out (and boots in the closet for bad weather). I just take off my sandals when entering and go about my life.
We do sweep very frequently, though, as we have cats.
If you prefer shoes you probably still want a pair of somethings you can slip on easily.
I usually wear slippers in the house. Taking trash out, I keep the slippers on. Driving somewhere? I swap into tennis shoes in the bedroom (I don't keep any shoes by the front door).
