I used to always do that until my carpet guy told me the oils from my feet directly on the carpet accelerates it’s end of life. He suggested keeping socks on or using indoor shoes (slippers, etc).
Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?

I walk around barefoot in the house. Thr moment I get home I take of my shoes, and when I’m comfortable somewhere I’ll then take off my socks. If I need to go outside to take out the trash or something I’ll use flip flops and if I need it go somewhere in the car I’ll put socks and shoes back on but the shoes never leave the foyer.

I think I’d still just go barefoot personally. Socks aren’t bad, but shoes for carpet kinda misses the point of carpet IMO.

Agreed.
The carpet is for my comfort, I’m not hosting it.
This reminds me of a similar discussion on reddit, years ago, about garbage disposal care: The absurdity argument was someone referencing a plumber who told them that the only thing that should ever go into the disposal is water.

We steam vacuum the carpets… wouldn’t that help for that?

I pretty much wore shorts and a tank top at home for decades. My new place has concrete floors but I don’t like the hardness on my feet so I have indoor sandals.
