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?

Quick trips outside - get something that is easy to slip on. Sandals, crocs, or sneakers without laces.

Standing in the kitchen - house shoes

    This. I have a pair of Vans slip ons near the door, and wear their checkered goodness to the garbage bins. No need to mess with laces or even crouch.

    Word. I have some chucks and tigers without laces. Those are my daily drivers.

    Do you have to put socks with these if you're gonna wear them slightly longer say to go to the shops or something?

    I wear socks indoor, usually.

    I don't.. I hate having to go upstairs and put some on for quick outings. I have slippers and flip flops that I use around the garden etc but I wouldn't go further or drive with them so as a vans guy already I looked at the slip ones but worried they wouldn't pair well with bare feet.
