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?
There’s so many answers but no one has answered your question.
In our house there are 4 external doors.
Only one of which is used for egress when we intend to leave the property. This is where all our actual shoes are kept on a rack.
We have a “pool” of slip ons which are shared between the household. Slip on like flip flops or sandals. No care is given as to where these are left. If you exit through door 2 and re-enter through door 3 then you leave the slip ons at door 3. Occasionally when you go to exit there’s no slip ons at that exit, just go to another exit. It’s a minor inconvenience and doesn’t happen often.
You could use baskets but it’s just a pain. With flip flops there’s no “putting on” stage. You just walk over them and they become attached to your feet. Baskets wouldn’t get used if they were present at our house.
