What footwear do you have on indoors?

Or do you prefer to be barefooted?

For me, the instant I come through my front door, outdoor shoes are off. Sometimes slippers go on, or I pad about in socks or nothing. But I can’t bear the thought of traipsing about the house with shoes on. Sister has a pair of slippers to put on when she visits, and I ask anyone coming into the house, yes indeed tradespeople, if they wouldn’t mind taking shoes off in the porch. Or I ask if they want overshoe protectors on.

Am I being over fussy? I have new stair carpet, and new rugs dotted about, and vow to keep them clean. But I was always like this in the London flat, and yes, I do wipe Holly’s paws most days.

Re: What footwear do you have on indoors?

I have one slipper on and one slipper off (because my foot hurts). Mrs LD will not tolerate walking around the house without some form of footwear. My slippers are actually beach shoes but they are extremely spongy and soft.

Re: What footwear do you have on indoors?

For as long as I can remember, I've always worn slippers in my own home. If I'm visiting someone, and they ask, I'll willingly take my shoes off and pad about in my socks.

My older sister has a porch and for as long as I can remember when visiting (very rare, if at all, nowadays), we always discarded shoes when entering.

Re: What footwear do you have on indoors?

For me only all leather moccasins will do. Summer without sheepskin lining and for winter I opt for the full lining

I like the look of those, Meg, especially as they proper buckles - I can't stand velcro as it never stays put! Please may I ask what make they are?
