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?

    Not everyone trudges through mud when they go out. My state has asphalt and concrete most of the places I want to walk.

      I live in a major city that is almost entirely concrete, steel, and glass— I’m not trudging through any mud either. That doesn’t mean I don’t encounter filth, grime, and dirt, as would anyone.

      I don’t want that in my nice, clean home. Ew.

          Or walk into a public bathroom, or really any public space for that matter. Who knows what you are stepping in all day.

      Street asphalt and concrete are incredibly dirty. Car exhaust, dust, whatever the wind brings, bird droppings, insects, trash, there is like a thousand contaminants.

        Civilizations are filled with these disgusting things called humans. Hairy, greasy, smelly things, constantly touching and smearing themselves all over everything with their excretions and fluids and dandruffs eeeuugghhh.

        So gross.
