Re: What footwear do you have on indoors?

Slippers should only be worn by Shufflers.

Re: What footwear do you have on indoors?

Shoes usually. I'm in and out of the house so often that I'd be changing from slippers to shoes, shoes to slippers annoyingly often. Also, I find that because shoes are generally close fitting, they can keep the feet warmer in the winter.

Plus there's the fact that slippers or socks don't protect the feet from accidents. Kick a door jamb, table-leg or other obstacle accidentally with shoes on or spill hot liquid and feet will come to no harm. Not so with slippers, socks or bare feet.

Having said that, in the coldest of winter evenings when everything is done and the house locked up, I will sometimes put on a pair of fur-lined slippers that come up to the ankle.

Re: What footwear do you have on indoors?

Yes Pesta, my point exactly (keeping carpets etc clean)

Mart, I do agree with you there in some ways. I can’t count how many times I have slammed my toes into something hard!!!

And good to see most of you agree about keeping shoes near the front door. I clean my floors each week with the Flash disposable cloth, and it’s barely dirty. My porch floor, on the other hand...needs sweeping or vacuuming regularly.

...
My sister had an accident like that in the home. Her little toe was broken so badly that it stood out at a 90 degree angle to her foot. I think there is something to be said for wearing proper protective footwear (shoes) indoors. Shoes might also save injury from accidentally dropping something on the feet.

I have different shoes of course. The ones used indoors aren't those worn for the allotment or gardening. The soles are usually fairly clean.
