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?

Outside shoes …. In a carpeted house!
Throw in a fully carpeted bathroom too.
Jesus Christ, some places…

Sadly, in my limited experience with people who wear their shoes inside by default, it has been this one.
My house is held together by mouse shit and the chucks of flesh I’ve lost trying to keep it up right lol

How often do you go outside?
Removed by mod
I’m in and out at least ten times a day. Hauling firewood, tending a greenhouse, shoveling snow, walking to work depending on weather, going outside to enjoy nature, etc. Changing my clothes each time would be extremely impractical.
How dirty is your outside, that this is a concern? Are other places strewn with trash and excrement? The sidewalk outside my house and the grass in my yard isn’t any dirtier than the century-old cottage between them.

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

Don’t forget spit.
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.

Clean asphalt, of course. Pristine, even
